Re: Current other active game software
Yes Ive bought many BEAUTIFUL games, which lasted about a month on my machine.
Such conversations happen in many forums. Games such as Stars!, Master of Magic, VGA Planets, Space Empires IV, King of Dragon Pass, etc etc appear on many dedicated gamers machines even though they are ancient in game terms. Trying to discover why has intrigued many a developer. The never-ending existence of some text-based games and MMOs also come up.
Ive watched half a dozen Master of Magic 2 projects fail. Instead of just recreating it (at least as a starting point) they cant help but try to "improve" on it which tends to kill it.
I have my own opinions on the matter, which I tend to post frequently to such forums.
