I miss Interplay. They had a fantastic game design team. When they went down, I was pretty upset. :not_ok:
Come on, they produced some good games (even if you are no a trekkie) Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was a pretty excellent space-simulator. Who could possibly forget Star Trek: 25th Anniversary or Star Trek: Judgment Rites (not me, I'm still trying to get it to work in another topic!) they just were completely absorbing adventure games.
It just seems today that the quality of the games has rested on the laurels of excellent graphics and shoot 'em up styles. No one really is too interested in reading lots of pithy dialogue and solving puzzles, at least, not the people I talk to about games.
It's nice to have a preservation society, kind of like we do here that enables us to freely recant tales of gaming old and shake our fists at the future.
It's a pretty good thing we got going here.
