Games you miss playing

I just played a game that I bought about a year ago. Star Wars Galactic Battle Grounds. Now this game is not that old, yet the game play and graphics are horribly, and I do mean horribly, out dated. They look absolutely horrendous. I had to check the game to be sure it was a true Lucas Arts game, and sure enough it was. WTF happened! Did Lucas Arts just decide to take a gaint leap backwards in technology? My god!!! This game sucks so bad that it makes MOO3 look like a My Sims champion of the year.

The laser beams look so fricking hooky that I nearly fell out of my chair in discust! What an absolute horrible excuse for a POS antiquited game! I guess Lucas has poored off into more than one area of his Star Wars empire.

A bad leader is a bad leader. Time to fire Lucas and higher in some talent!

Not since MOO3 have I been so utterly and completely disappoined in a game. All they did was take AOE (ONE) and swap out graphics. Dated graphics no less. Here is a game that could have rocked, especially after their first attempt at it was a failed POS, and they drop the ball again. Hell Empire Earth set the sandard, and Lucas Arts fell far far far far far below it with this game.

It is like going from a computer game of today back in time to the day of the old Atari 2600 games. That is how bad this game is. I thought Civ 3 was a bad game, boy I had no clue.

If you have not bought Galatic Battle Grounds yet, DON'T! not even on the budge rack. Wait to pick it up at a garage sale for 50 cents. Hell that is all that I will get for this POS crap fest game of all time. What a hunk of utter bantha fodder!

If I could take this game and give it back to Lucas Arts, it would be in a billion peaces with a note attacked explaining where they can put the peaces. What a horrible and nasty trick to play on the fans. Hell I though what Quick Silver did was bad, I had no concept that they had learned it from Lucas Arts.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being SEIV, SW GBG rates no higher than a 3. (Moo3 rated a 4.)

I can not believe that I spent the money to buy this game, and never played it. I feel cheated by it. I need a shower now. I will never buy another lucas arts product until long after it has gone to the junk discount bin, and then only if it has a favorable review from people like those who come here.

3. Your partner leaves you because you spend all of your time playing Space Empires. - Yeppers
4. Rapid weight gain. - Almost
5. Lack of desire to bath - For 2 days at most after that the ichyness interupts my train of thoughts
10. You burn up your mouse, and must buy a new one. - Wore out the springs 2 Kensington Track Balls in less than 5 years (which they replaced for free)

11) Has a list of Priortys and playing SE IV is at or near the top.

12) Warned all potential girlfriends of my addiction and made it clear where they stood in priortyes.

One of the more advanced stages of SEIV Addicition is the almost crack cocain like withdrawal syptoms you experience when PBW is down.
