Worst sequel ever

[Jamski]

Wonderful. First of the Gold Box games, a great classic on the Amiga and pre-windows DOS. Started the golden era of PC gaming for me.

Lands Of Lord III was right up there, MooIII was bigger disappointment, but was not as crappy as LoD III.

Pool of Radiance 2 still wins!

You really CAN'T beat that.

Also it was a D&D game that didn't let you play as a Wizard or a Bard, and seemed to take place in a vast pitchblack dungeon with hundreds of identical rooms. Then there were the zombies (very slow moving in turn-based battles) and the fact that Ubisoft had divided all xp gained by 10, to make the game last longer. It was PAINFUL. So I tried to uninstall it, as did thousands of others.

AAAAAAAGH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This was fixed by the FOURTH patch, can you believe.

That even makes Firaxis look good.

Dune is a first person adventure game with few tbs aspects. Dune II was the first classical rts.

Roller Coaster Tycoon II... not because it was bad per se, but just because it was identical to the original. Just a few extra rides and buildings...

Kinda like all the 'expansion-packs' to Civ3?

that would be Pool of Radiance 3, if arithmetic serves me correctly.

Was that even worse than Pool of Radiance 2

RAilroad Tycoon 3 was a big disappointment as was one of the more recent Battle Isles games but i can't remember which one

ALso the transition to Championship Manager 3 was painful but i was eventually converted.

That would probably be Battle Isle 4 IIRC... but 2 and 3 was sucking too, since they somehow killed the controls... Long live Battle Isle 1


I even beta tested Battle Isle 4 (if the 4th one is the one in 3D)... the beta test was 90% about mp, but I never got the mp part of the game working... and the other people I talked to who was in the beta had the same problem

Terror from the Deep wins hands down.

Pool of Radiance 2. Its a clear winner. The way it formatted your C Drive when you uninstalled it was genius.

A lot of people liked that more an Apocalypse. And far more than Interceptor and Enforcer.

I'm going to go out on a limb, but Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance. It was a fine game on it's own, but compared to its predecessor, it just couldn't hold up.

[Apocalypse]

Well, I don't know. There are a significant number of people who liked Tactics: Advanced.

[Jamski]

Terror from the Deep was ok. Just VERY FREAKING HARD
