Re: What Is More Important To You?
There was no reason for an SE-style game to be 3D, none at all.
A First Person Shooter has to be 3D, and that's where 3D belongs.
That old game, are you guys talking "Carriers at War"? I had that for my Apple IIc, and it rocked, no doubt. Even on a monochrome monitor 
Oh, and as far as graphics vs gameplay, welll.....
I'll take a game with boobies over no boobies any day |

Re: What Is More Important To You?
No fair using the trump card! 
Actually Ascendency had a true-3d system map, which was a decent reason to have 3D. And SEV has far more on screen at once in '3d' mode than it would in 2d (switch to top-down mode and note how much farther you have to zoom out to see all the hexes).

Actually I was refering to a Battle of Midway game, which I believe was made by Avalon Hill...Carriers at War was as a great game, but that actually had some graphics, not just plain ASCII characters like Midway. |

hah, Battle of Midway!! I remember playing that in 5th grade, and it eventually led me to my career as a programmer. My buddy and I hacked the game and made US "Super carriers". Yes, that was my idea of fun 
One of the best games I ever played is North Atlantic '86. It was a text game that actually made you feel like you were sitting in a war room someplace. |

Re: What Is More Important To You?
I still play Pacific War, a game that came out in 1990. Back then it had many bugs but after a considerable amount of patches it turned into a little gem.The graphics are not great but the level of detail is immense.

Re: What Is More Important To You?
Huh, I played the AH board game called Midway, and it was great good fun. But I don't recall a computer game by AH...

Re: What Is More Important To You?
id taken gameplay over this 3d stuff.
Sadly even EU3 is going the way of 3d =(
I hope it does better than this.
