veloper:
space 4X games like Master of Orion

space sim traders like Elite and Privateer

turn-based squad games like UFO:EU and JA2

As amazing as all the games you mentioned are, you can still enjoy a 21st century watered down version of all of them if you are so inclined.

For example, try Master of Orion 3 if you want a bad game, or Galactic Civilizations 2 if you want a real MOO 2.5.

You could try X2 and X3 - they're sort of modern versions of Privateer.

And if you're looking for a new version of X-Com, try the UFO: Aftermath game and its offspring.

And hey, there's even Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge, or better yet, JA1 on your DS!

Anyway, I'd love to see more of these games, but I doubt it'll happen. I'd like to see more huge-mecha games, such as Mechwarrior and Heavy Gear among other old discontinued games Earthsiege, G-NOME, and Shattered Steel.

However, if the OP is more "from" instead of more "of" , I'd like to see more from the RTS genre, since I think SupCom:FA is the pinnacle of RTS currently, maybe next to SoaSE...and those are sort of old. RTT is an excellent genre at this point in time, with DoW II and CoH...But RTS is just lacking compared to the Age of Empires days...

This really felt like a 00s film. I honestly couldn't imagine this in the 90s at all. Those of us that fondly remember 8 and 16 bit gaming are in our 20s now. This culture didn't exist in this way in the 1990s. There are conversations in Scott Pilgrim I can imagine and have had with friends. We do play instruments, go to shows, play video games and fight super powered vegans.

When is the DVD coming out? Thanksgiving?

Sounds like my kind of neighborhood...
