Clearly the rest of their metrics have issues, but i think we can all agree on Stronghold.  :)

That was the most ill-conceived castle siege I have ever seen, in that opening video.

Seeing this Quick Look made me nostalgia hard, I played this game for years until the disk became unreadable, then as soon as I saw it on Steam I snatched it up.

I love these Quick Look Throwbacks.  I hope the crew does more of these whenever they get the chance.  They're fun and full of nostalgia.  I never played this one back in the days since I was into C&C:RA, Myth and AoE, but this looks awesome, too.  Great job and very entertaining video.

HD on steam! And on sale! Now I have all the reasons to get it. Going to rewatch this classic throwback of a classic game first though.

2 years later and Stronghold HD is still on sale for $1.62. Just bought it for the heck of it.

@hero_swe: Well don't keep me waiting! Is the good news that I just saved a whole bunch of money by switching to Geico?

@lanechanger: The good news is that this game came out over a decade ago and you can find HD editions on both Steam and GOG
