Terrible Swift Sword by SPI, Board Game on Gettysburg, Since computers very very little time to play board games anymore. This game was IMHO the best civil war game ever made...

Wydraz um, it was nostalgia that brought me back to Empire Deluxe. Almost Ironic in light of your post.

As it is, I long for the days of Armored Miniatures (1/285). Still I admit I could never go back to them. I doubt I could find my old friends there. I remember the human interaction, the laughter around the table, Having dinner, Drinking beer (before there were micro brews aavailable). The zingers that would fly, The reparte, The comraderie. I almost established it here in the old Gryphin Growltiagga thread. It is not the same.

Interesting replies. I don't mean to knock nostalgia per se, but when a game dies, there is no need to mourn too much. I came to SEIV because I was missing games like Star Control and the original MOO (I won't touch MOO3).

I guess you could say it was because of nostalgia. But I'm not going back to the old games. Compared to today's games, they begin to pale. But the feelings and wonder of discovery was what it was all about for me. So I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying that new things can often be better than old, if you keep an open mind. Take Starfury, for instance. I can't wait!

i miss Battlezone. single and multi player. Still the best, for me.
i miss the thrill i had playing doom 2.
i miss the long hours i spent playing SE3, there's no that addictivity in SE4 for me.
i miss civ2, the original one.

there are a lot of games i miss, old games. modern games... they're made to be sold and eye-candy, and do fit in timelines and budgets, plus the monopolies of the gaming world.
