Weird. Old games sell better than new ones. I wonder why that could be?

I love that Fallout is now thought of as a first-person game, but it started as a turn-based isometric team RPG in 1997 which was, itself, a near-remake of a 1988 game, which I spent hours playing as a kid.

And then a few years ago, Wasteland was also revived in the style of the first two Fallout games.
Yes, I know I'm old.
I still want to go back and play the first 2 fallout games. I wasn't aware of them when they came out, so I wasn't introduced to the series until 3.
They're amazing. I highly recommend it if you like games in that style. The first two Baldur's Gates were also like that (I haven't played the latest).
I do! Although I do think I prefer BG3's turn-based combat vs real time w/ pause.
They are turn-based, not real time with pause. I prefer the former too.
Oh good! That's awesome to hear. I think I might even own them from some bundle in steam, but I just haven't gotten around to playing them.
Pitstop 2 that my brother and I played constantly we were kids are 40 years exactly... the pain..
Here's one:
Tactics Ogre Reborn came out in late 2022 for Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and PC.
That game is a remaster of another title called Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, which came out for the PSP in November 2010 in Japan. This puts it 12 years before Reborn.
But the PSP game was itself is a remake of a game with the same name that came out originally for the Super Famicom in October 1995, 15 years before its remake and 27 years before the remaster of that remake.
I've missed it until the Reborn remake, which I still need to finish. By the time I get back to it though, they might have put it out a 4th time!
I'm still waiting for the Ogre Battle 64 remake..... any day now.... any day...
Fuck
Next year, Civilization IV will be TWENTY years old. D:
Dude, I remember installing the first Civilization on my Mac LC II in high school.
