Video killed the radio-star...

Can't help it, but I've the feeling that the match day option to view these
running ants has taken the magic away.

I used to shout at the letters on CM1
I used to scream and cheer at the flashing boxes of CM2
I used to ponder, whine and stammer reading the lines in CM3

And now... I see circles moving.. and I can't help but feeling homesick to
these days that the texts filled my imagination with bicycle kicks and
all... There is almost no room for thinking how a player looks with the
piccies and how a player acts with the match screen.
This may be a big compliment but....

I think I''m off to CM 01/02 (3)

Maybe I'm getting ol' or something. After finishing Rome, Total War I looked
up on an abandonware site for Centurion...

How about turning off highlights and selecting commentary only, do you not
bother to correct a problem that has obviously so easy to solve!

No no no.. It's like Icarus flying too high or low, or Pygmalion falling in
love with his own statue. Once you've seen the sirens of match view....
you're spoiled for ever

Since you like old-fashioned uncomplicated strategy games, may I suggest one very underrated and
almost unheard of title? Fields of Glory. It is at the site too.

Almost no AI to speak of. But how does it work as a strategy game? That, my fellow strategist,
is the magic of it.

You could just watch the commentary and then watch the highlights in match
view after. Get the best of both?

Hmm.. seems like asking Hades to let me cross the Styx just one more time
(and again and again)... But all in all that's no bad idea at all..

I'll give it a whistle - along CM3... After I've finished my dosbox-games
