No, because as Skanky said you still had the option of playing it TB.

Yea, but it wasnt like the first X-Coms.... -
There's also Aftermath...Originally posted by DrSpike
Indeed. Another game like that would go down well.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Hmmm. Missed that one. Has anyone played Aftermath?
Whats it like...?Comment

Yes I played it a bit. It doesn't fit the criteria in my post UR quoted since it is very unlike the earlier games. As Skanky alluded to earlier, base management was, uh, minimised.

There's a decent real-time derivative called "Monopoly Tycoon". Sort of a light-weight "Capitalism".Originally posted by bipolarbear

Lots of people. So far the results have been...disappointing.Originally posted by Dissident
Does no one else thing X-com needs to be remade?
It still is one of my most favourite games of all time.
The latest CGW refers to "Silent Storm" as a spiritual sequel to X-Com. Flawed, but really good nonetheless.

When I think back over the hundreds of games I've played, they seem to fall into two categories:
1. Games I really liked, and would like to see sequels for or thematically similar games.
2. Games I wished had been done better, or would be re-done better.
I'm glad to see, for example, the return of "The Bard's Tale" after its long hiatus, and I think they're remaking "Wasteland" (tho' I'm not sure). Both games are nigh on 20 years old. I'd welcome a genuine sequel to "ADVENT" for that matter.
Sometimes both, as when one game in the series is great and the rest aren't.
Anyway, from category 1:
Dungeon Keeper 3 (cancelled)
Majesty 2
Civ 4 (planned)
HOMM 5 (planned0
GTA 4 (planned)
Starflight 3 (I wish)
Magic The Gathering 5th+ Ed (single player)
a series of games a la Circuit's Edge (story-heavy cyberpunk RPG done in collaboration with real writers),
And many more!
From category 2:
Space Bunnies Must Die Again! (great concept, lousy execution)
Black and White 2 (one of the most interesting games I didn't play very much)
Blood 3 (great sense of humor, first one was REALLY hard, second one was REALLY buggy)
And again, many more.

We like what we like. In the field of tycoon games, it towers.
It got a fair number of editor's choice awards and never tried to be more than it was, a lightweight, quickie biz sim. Gamerankings lists it in the top 40 for PC games in 2001, 82%.
It's not going to replace your current crack addiction, but it's fine for a few days and worth the occasional revisit.

They are making a Black and White 2, and they are "reoworking" it to an extent. I think they're making it into a strategy game with citys and armies, ect...Originally posted by okblacke
Black and White 2 (one of the most interesting games I didn't play very much)
Kind of disapointing, because I always expected a God Sim from Black and white, and the half-assed strategy game they made it into was really disapointing. But atleast the sequel will be refined and actually (hopefully) have a real focus to it intstead of just being a few hazy concepts slapped together.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

Alas. Tycoon games wallow in the muck and the few rise even above mediocrity. I think RRT is good, and RCT is, too, except for being responsible for spawning the mass of mediocre tycoon games.Originally posted by DrSpike
Which, alas, is not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Odd, when you think about it. Why can Dune/C&C/Warcraft spawn a zillion RTS games, including quite a few really excellent ones, while RCT spawns a zillion tycoon games, pretty much all trash?
Is a biz sim really that hard to do?
