And none of them end up being fun or good, or at least better than Savage.
I still remember Nuclear Dawn, one of the few games to make me play the stealth class because the gun play and fragility of the other classes made them a non-starter. Using invisibility to get through the map and into the enemy base? Now that was a fun way to play.
Back to the topic at hand, it doesn't help that Silica devs decided to waste no money on making unit designs in any way distinctive or memorable.
Saw a post on Twitter that made me think of some of my fav childhood games. I learned how to use the home computer at a pretty young age and there are some vague memories of games from when I was even younger, but outside of big names I struggle to remember them.
Rollercoaster Tycoon was not a game bought for me. My mom used to be a bit of a PC gamer back in the day. Mom hesitated to let me play it at first just bc he thought it might be too difficult for me, but I was able to catch on to the basics. I also played a lot a lot of Zoo Tycoon, but RC Tycoon did come first.
I remember playing all of the Magic School Bus PC games at the library as a kid. They were all fun, but I as an animal lover the Rainforest one stuck with me the most.
I was always begging my mom at every scholastic book fair to buy me Catz. I can't remember for sure if 5 was the version I had, but I think it was. It had where you could breed the catz. I got it in a two pack that had Dogz as well, but I played Catz way more.
I've played a lot of Barbara's games over the years, but Pet Rescue was my favorite. I replayed this one so many times. My other favorite was Barbie as Rapunzel. It had almost 0 to do with the movie. You went through the castle and got decorate the rooms. Played basically like Project Makeover but without having the match game part.
My first computer happened in 1997. It came from America, a castoff from my uncle (one of those miscellaneous, not-a-sibling-of-a-parent uncles), wrapped in Mac'n'Cheese, chocolate chip cookies, and other goodies you'd never get in fairly-freshly-free Lithuania.
