Fire Emblem is a niche series that (probably) makes it's money off a dedicated fanbase. But when there is a sequel that so dramatically improves everything (See: Heroes of Might and Magic 1 compared to HOMM 2), I can't see anyone playing MOO1 for anything except novelty's Yep. Both aren't for the average peasant, but I could finish the second one had I enough time and perhaps a walkthrough). Some of the old games that actually hold up the best are fairly simple in design (Compare Wizardry 7 to World of Xeen.
But by today's standards, it's pretty simple. To be fair, the first game came out in 1993, which means around the same time as Civilization 1. But what about the first game? Well, much like how MOO3 is denied much the same way anti semites deny the holocaust, it's pretty clear that when people say "Master of Orion" they mean the second one. Perhaps up there with X-COM in terms of "Oh, this is what you guys were talking about" territory. Master of Orion 1 Yeah, I already did Master of Orion 2. Sure? I mean, if I would want any overwrought pulpy series of fantasy novels to be adapted to a game, I would rather have The Wheel of Time (that game would be a billion hours long and totally awesome. But when there is a sequel that so dramatically improves everything (See: Heroes of Might and Magic 1 compared to HOMM 2), I can't see anyone playing MOO1 for anything except novelty's sake. But this game doesn't have anything to make up for it.
Admittedly, so are all the other TES games. Certainly, it's open, as all non-spinoff Elder Scrolls games are, but it lacks a lot of other TES mainstays, such as custom classes, skills that progress as you use them, and enjoyment. However, one thing's for sure, and that is that Arena (the first Elder Scrolls game, released in '94) is not good. And then replied to my comments 6 months later. Prior Installments: (Blog 1) (Blog 2) The Elder Scrolls: Arena I've already covered Daggerfall in one of my earliest blogs, and have since been torn on whether I like it genuinely or ironically (as well as having been chewed out by some crazy person who signed up just to chew me out. Anyways, thanks to DOSbox's internal video codec, I can show you people exactly the kind of obscure crap that I run into in my quest to play old games and blog about them. Sure, as my Alpha Protocol blog shows, people are far more likely to comment on something modern than old crap, but everyone's always talking about modern stuff.
