Used to play my older games -- Simcity, Civ, MoO, etc... -- then I got World of Warcraft and well life is new and fresh.

It all seems to be personal choice. Personally i think first person shooters have been constantly improving from WOLF3D -> Doom 1/2 -> Quake -> HL -> Doom3 -> HL2. This is my pesronal opinion of course. Other people may add in Quake3 etc but those werent revolutionary enough. As far as RTSs go i think the best was Starcraft, personally im not really into the new style but WC3 and DoW were both really good.

I think you forgot the Unreal line.

Wolf -> Doom -> Quake -> HL -> Unreal -> Unreal Tournament (multiplayer only, no CD patch included by dev) -> UT2004 -> HL2
Much better 😛

I'm still playing Civ2. I just wish I had the original instead of Gold. In the Gold version diplomacy sucks. Everyone hates you, period.

only game i'm really nostolgic for and still occasionally play is starcraft. that game pwns all! let alone cc and its sh*tty interface🙂

This happened to me before, and I found it was because I was being closed minded and didn't like change. If I found something I liked, I would keep with it and not accept any substitutes, even though something better might come along.

It's a personality flaw 🙂
