A few weeks ago, a friend came over to borrow some games. I showed him my collection and after a bit of pondering, he had made his choice.
I noticed that he didn't even bothered to check my stack of cardboardbox-games. You know, the big A4 formatted cardboard boxes. When I asked him if he didn't want to look through it, he said "Oh, I saw those old boxes and so there can't be any decent games in that stack." I was perplexed. A quick glance at that lot gives us titles as: BG, FFVII, PS:T, IWD, BGII, Revenant, MMVI & VII, Tiberian Sun, Nox, Total Annihilation, Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries, 3 & 4, X-Wing: Alliance, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, Age of Empire I & II, Fallout 2, Wingcommander IV & V, Jane's Fighters Anthology.
This friend is only one year younger than me. I'm the first to admit that tastes differ, but as you can see from the list, it has vastly different games in it. I just have to ask, how is it possible that someone dismisses such fines games, solely on the fact that their packaging labels them as pre-2001? (Rough guess.)
