A shout out to the devs

I thought about mentioning that one, but didn't, because at least it DID get a spiritual successor in Age of Wonders.

The trouble with a LOT of old properties is that some group or another is just sitting on the rights, not making the game, but not letting anyone else take a crack at it, either. I specifically suspect that's the problem with X-Com... Well, that and the fact that EVERY other game attempted along those lines totally missed was was so cool about that long ago game.

There've got to be legions of old fanboy geeks like me that are just dying to pay good money for a modern remake of games we remember and love. For God's sake, change it just enough to avoid copyright issues, and MAKE THE GAME.

If you build them, we'll buy them. Here's hoping that KB: The legend is a surprise breakout success.

Magic immunity, armour piercing, first strike, sigh I miss those days

Age of wonders just didn't do it for me.

Yeah I love this game, would love an expansion (or two!) then a remake of mom would be great!

I read somewhere that Stardock had started work on a project classified as "Not MoM" but it's not for release anytime soon.
