Bard's Tale! Used to play that on a 64K Amstrad in days of yore. I got a lot more enjoyment out of that game than I have from Icewind Dale 2.

The Encyclopaedia of Ancient Battles deserves to be re-made. Then again, I suppose Rome:Total War is it's modern equivalent.

<t>I don't want to open a new thread for this, but I'll mention it anyway. If anyone can receive Channel 5 (UK), tonight they start a new series called "Great Military Clashes".

Wanted:- WW1 dogfighter

Can anyone recommend a reasonably good World War One flight simulator/arcade dogfighter? My only requirement is that it must be Windows XP compatible. I already have a couple of WW2 games (Sturmovik and PH:SAD) and Comanche 4, but I fancy a change of pace. Cheers.
