Default Re: Dominions clone ?

Well hot damn, I didn't know that the Wumpus wasn't an original creation of Dan Bunten.

Everything sure has changed in the last 20-30 years..... Everything was so exciting and new then, games didn't have to be good, they were more a springboard for imagination than anything else. I think that's why we love Dom3 so much in particular, because it's such a deeply interesting game, but without all of the frills of a mainstream studio title, it can still touch that part of us.


And I remember that Star Trek game actually. I didn't think it would be the same one, but I had a copy of the BASIC 2.0 port, with a manual run off of a dot matrix printer, it was as thick as a magazine and so much fun to reference, with the accordion folding.
