I was at my mum’s house recently and stumbled upon an original box for the Classics reissue of The Settlers. I can’t remember when I bought the re-issue but I loved the original version on the Amiga.

I wanted to share the pictures because if you’re anything like me you’ll immediately begin hearing the sounds of the game again!
