ORIGINAL: junk2drive

Lots of years ago I dated a girl. I found some things about her that I didn't like and we broke up. Some time later we dated again and those same things were still there. I bought a car and after owning it a while there were things I didn't like and sold it. Some time later I bought another one and soon found the same dislikes. Epiphany.

I have had a few games that I played until all the bad came out. When I return to them some time later, I remember the stories above and quickly see all the reasons that I quit playing them.

I still go back from time to time and play the old games but it always turns out the same.

Dang junk they have pills for that. Sounds like you have a seratonin(sp) imbalance.

Moo 2. Still brilliant.
Masters of magic is a crushing disappointment to revisit. It plays so slow.
Age of Wonders is still V.good.
Original colonisation is probably better than the flawed remake.

Agreed, though the only I go back to are the games whre it wasn't because it had problems, it was just that I either completed the game(Half Life 2) or I'm tired of the period for awhile. For example, I'm haven't really playing JTCS or Steel Panthers lately because I want a break from World War II. However, I AM playing WinSPMBT and looking forward to the Modern Wars vol 1, the modern warfare version of JTCS. So as you can see in this case, the engine game system has nothing to do with it.

Advanced Tactics, Left 4 Dead and I sometimes go back to Age of Empires, the Conquerors. I think I'm pretty much done with that one though.
History began July 4th, 1776. Anything before that was a mistake.

Not on Dosbox it doesn't if you know how to optimize it. Even Defend-Reloaded you can speed it up. Just press CTRL+F12 about 10 times and it will be as fast as it ever was. To slow it down if you get it too fast press CTRL+F11 a number of times.

Close Combat 3: The Russian Front
Starcraft Broodwars- Armageddon
Age of Mythology
Colonization
Second Front: The Russian Front (Amiga version)
World in Flames
Germany's unforgivable crime before the Second World War was her attempt to extricate her economy from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.

You and I have almost the same taste tell me about Disciples II? What makes it better than HOMM II or III?
