[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] So many misspent quarters... Anyway, some examples of what I was thinking: Max Payne is in every way a superior game to Enter the Matrix. StarCraft is better than New Worlds. Or the notorious Age of Empires clone that is Galactic Battlegrounds. Though for this I guess I should just say that Age of Empires II is superior, but I wanted to haul out the big gun, which for me is StarCraft, but let's quickly admit that there is room for many games and many opinions in this slot, so as to head off the perhaps inevitable Total Annihilation fan rant. I'd say, in my personal experience, the only Star Trek games which have actually been really good games first have been the two original series adventures (Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites) and Elite Force, though the latter's debt to Half-Life is of course clear and obvious to all. Now I am getting sidetracked, because man were those Interplay adventures good. I had to call the tip line often, because I was a moron, and I never finished the first one due to that climactic battle between the Enterprise and that crazy guy's (stolen? reverse-engineered?) Constitution, equipped with ROMULAN PLASMA TORPEDOES that quickly reduced my shields to nothing, not to mention his two friends in their speedy little pirate ships. But they were still great, great games. I'm sure someone will mention A Final Unity, which I bought but never got working for some reason, I think because I had a 486SX and it required a 486DX, and what could I do about but stare lovingly at the box and eventually move on with my life? And of course the less said about every Trek adventure game after it the better, but by this time the genre was already dying. (Were I to render judgment on AFU, my complaint would be that, the few times I actually did manage to play it somewhere, the game always felt mildly schizophrenic, with a space combat system that felt way out of touch with the rest of the game, but what do I know, nothing, not even enough to read the miniumum requirements on the side of a box.)
