GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Jan 25, 2007
Still playing classics? No not the Atari nor C64 classics.. I am talking about the Pc classics. My first computer was a (80)286 and had a Hercules (B&W) graphic card!

I remember, I saved all my pocket money to buy a new 386 with a Sound Blaster2.0 and a Riva TNT32 graphic card! It costed me a fortune these days but it was a well worthed investment as i was able to play Virgin's Dune2!! well, it was 6Mbs in total installation and came along with 6 Floppies but It was surely a real blow for me as i had only 20Mbs of Hdd! (thak God there were no windows but DOS at that time)

Battle of Britain (Their finest hour) Civilization2, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, wolfenstein and Test Drive was all milestones at that time...

The mighty Imperialism, Alien Legacy, Doom, Simcity Battle Isle and the others blew storms among players...

Life was good then ...

Then came along Doom and everything changed forever. Hundreds of Doom copies are created Blood, heretic, Duke Nukem etc.. Gaming market flooded with tons of crap. And now we are here. Strategy games and adventure games are 2% of the market. Tons of games are offering nothing but adorned graphics and nothing more. Pity...

Man those bring back some great memories!!! Battle of Britain was a total classic, and still one I remember fondly. You must be of age like me, because when we old goats talk about 386 we really age ourselves. Civ2 master of Orion, Wolfenstein, man I could go on for a long time. One that I was really in love with is Wing Commander, oh man those were the PC glory days! We may not every see that again as far as PC. Cheers!

Amen!

While it may not be the best solution nor for every strategy player out there, I would recommend giving Crusader Kings and its expansion Crusader Kings: Deus Vult a once over. What a shame with what they did to the Master of Orion series...
