I bought all of them and they were all huge disappointments. Either the technology wasn't up to the demands being made of it or the games were technically brilliant but lacking in entertainment value. <br /><br />Ultimate Play The Game was just about the only truly reliable development house that I remember - everything they made up to and including Sabre Wulf was sheer genius. Other than that it was all very hit and miss, but also very exciting. I got hyped for games far more in those days than I do now and therefore was disappointed far more often.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-34072608669370694372014-08-26T21:41:34.034+01:002014-08-26T21:41:34.034+01:00'' Partly because doing so feels less pass...'' Partly because doing so feels less passive and more creative than other forms of entertainment. (It isn't, of course. It just feels like it is because your hands are moving).''<br /><br />This sounds familliar ;) <br /><br />For me personally, I could add that I play MMORPG's because seeing other players makes me feel less like a lonely bastard staring at a screen. I'd much more prefer returning to 'tabel-top' RPG's but it seems just not being in the cards anymore.<br /><br />Funny you dislike Lords of Midnight, my brother and I liked it so much back then we played it for so long one saturday our ZX-Spectrum 48+ literally caught fire/started to blow smoke (sending our dad off in one of his tirades). Playing it with a map (Crash or another magazine had a detailed one, though the one of the booklet was fairly accurate) did enhance the experience, however. <br /><br />Come to think of it, I faintly remember talks about a Midnight MMO (which I'd play even though I doubt Dragons like Farflame the Dragonlord - my favorite recruitee as he could fly/move really fast and actually engage small armies succesfully on his own - would be on the PC options menu) and the game being succesful on current hand-helds for a time, all coming to screeching halt when the original designer sadly passed away a few years back.
