Really cool old games that nobody remembers.

Also, there is a new game coming out from the same director that has Vyse and Aika as playable characters. Not quite a spiritual sequel in the sense of say, Bioshock, but the closest we'll get to SoA2 for a while.

Seems neat. Unfortunately, it is for PS3, and I don't plan on owning one of those for a very long time. (too much money plus I have all the other current gen consoles to keep me occupied)

Storm Rider:
I do have the other two current gen consoles, but I spend a lot of money on video games anyway, and I do think I will eventually buy a PS3 for all the weird Japanese shit that publishers won't put on the 360 because nobody in Japan owns one.

Basically, ITT: I have yet another internal struggle with my poor impulse control and my desire to hold out for another price drop before buying a PS3.

Oh God, this stuff brings back memories.

I absolutely second

- Syndicate Wars
- Rise of the Triad (when I was 9 or 10, I once didn't come home from school and my distressed mom found me in the school's PC lab playing ROTT and loving it)
- Bloody Roar
- Lost Vikings (what an awesome game idea)
- KKND - I was and still am a firm believer in the Warcraft school of real-time strategy game controls. That said, I loved KKND. The customized units were totally useless but some of the units you could produce there, I still wish I had in other games. Especially the tank with the two ginormous machine guns. Also, great soundtrack.

My great games that nobody remembers:

* Captain Comic (from '89 or so, whopping 16 colors. Took me 3 years to finally finish it. But I had started playing it when I was 5 or 6).
* Sokoban
* Death Rally (had the shareware version for years and always tried to beat the faster cars with the biggest one I could buy. Hopeless.)
* Bleifuss - the German Need for Speed. Awesome controls and pretty cool tracks.
* Bifi Racer - a little promotional game that had quite a cult following.
* STUNTS! Whenever I talk to people whose first computer game was NFSU or Warcraft III or even Half-Life, they look at me like I'm a strung-out hippie talking about the glory days when I tell them that a great game didn't and doesn't need great graphics. I weep when they don't understand.

Fletch:
I know Syndicate Wars was 3d, but why do people prefer it to the original?

McTaggart:
I remember Captain Comic. Well, I remember that it existed, I remember it was there in the explorer-y thing that I think Norton Commander let us have rather than just the dos command line. I remember I kept trying to play it but something was wrong and it never started, so I always went back to Crystal Caves instead.
