Spice Trade  
The question posed by Spice Trade is this:
How would history have developed if the Muslims had come to dominate Europe?
The answer is in your hands. Spice Trade casts you in the role of a young man in Baghdad with little but a plot of farmland and a handful of money. From these humble beginnings you must gain wealth, power, wives, and children.
Consisting of little but static images with clickable hotspots, Spice Trade is an open-ended game of resource management, adventure, and discovery. There is no explicit goal in the game, other than to live your life to the fullest. Along the way you will scour the world for rare treasures, get into the spice and drug trades, find wives, and can even bring Europe under your heel, either by military force or cultural influence.
This is one of those games that you will either love or hate. If you're looking for action, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a small download, look elsewhere, because Spice Trade is a very large download. If you have the patience to learn its nuances, you will find yourself quickly addicted to this game. I spent several hours just wandering around the world checking out all the things I could do.
The game is written in Java, and thus will run on any operating system that has a Java runtime. You will need to know how to execute Java .jar files on your particular system.
