meh.. 3d killed adventure games and rts too.

everything is just so fuzzy and complex nowadays. what happened to the old 2d view where you could understand what you were seeing instantly

c&c, transport tycoon, sim city, holiday island. awesome games and fun too. i suggest you try holiday island as im sure most of you never heard of it or played, but it's a very fun and addictive game.

to reinforce my point, the game Knights of Honor was made somewhat recently and plays in 2D and it's awesome! Not to mention as 3d advances, the more system resources it hogs.

come on! bring us the fun back! It's not the 3D that makes the difference!

If Sid Meier put out a game called "Eating Poop" I would buy it, because Sid's games are always fun.

Locomotion was a huge let down. Transport Tycoon is one of the greatest, most unrated games of all time.

I would love a remake that expanded on the usability and the multiplayer aspect. To many of these games leave multiplayer out all together. TT was years ahead of its time. Seeing as most empire building games do not have that option still.
