An "old fart" gamer says...."thanks"

from Elemental Forums

Yep...old dude here.  47 is ancient in the computer gaming world!  I simply broke my normal lurking silence to say "thanks" to Frogboy and the Stardock team for Elemental.  Yes, I've had a few crash to desktops, but each patch cuts down on 'em.  What I'm thankful for is the FUN I've had...It's been a long, long time since any company has had the guts to release a turn-based strategy game.  They are not the most popular thing out there these days!  However, a long and fun strategy game that can take hours is blissful heaven for some of us.  Elemental fits the bill...and judging from Stardocks track record, it will do nothing but get better over time.

 

By the way, I purchased this at the local Wal-mart...they only had 2 copies and both were in the stockroom!  They hadn't even bothered to put it out by Thursday of last week.  PC gaming is a dying art, I'm afraid.

 

Thanks again,

Quoting Rune_74, reply 95

You also didn't play any games after the 2gs since apple forgot they used to have games on thier machines...god those old MAC's were awful.

Oh, not to bring these things back up, but have you ever noticed the computer interface you are working on right now runs pretty much like a Mac from 1984?  PC gamers back then always insisted their games were better, but when I saw them I was never fully convinced--not until 16-bit graphics became the norm and early pathetic Windows attempts adopted the mouse did the PC definitively pulled ahead in games.

Yeah, I remember Dark Castle and Fool's Errand.  Even my PC gaming buddies liked Dark Castle.
