That just bull.Quality has overall gone down, just as it has with music and movies. Price does not reflect that since it's gone up. Basically we have big companies scared to death of taking any form of risks, just pumping out rehashed products under new names.We're not "spoiled" just because we don't want to keep playing prettier versions of the same games over and over. There's also a lot of games that comes out with horrendous bugs, even on consoles these days, just because the developers can fix that after the release via patches. It shouldn't be accepted.

@MadChickenThis is the *free* version, as said above. There is no CD protection. Someone needs to lay off the weed - getting a little bit P a R a N o i D !

Digg for Star Control 2 ported to modern PCs. The Ur-Quan Masters remake is simply one of the greatest games ever made.

This isn't completely untrue. One might argue that video games took a shift from gameplay to design when CDROM started becoming popular. There were some fantastic early CDROM games (7th Guest, Myst) but in the early 90's everybody loved oohing and aahing at purty 320x240 256 colour video at 5 FPS. We lived with VGA for a long time and I think we started getting spoiled when SVGA and CDROM came into play.It's fantastic to see such Abuse, a totally awesome platformer with unique controls, available for free, but it's a little painful to play when you compare it to modern equivalents. Video games are better than ever nowadays. My memories of Wing Commander are very fond, but it feels incredibly simplistic when I play it now.

It really is. They took all the best aspects of the PC and 3DO versions and squished them into one shiny package. The result is absolutely breathtaking. The voice acting is fantastic, the dialogue is philisophical and hilarious, the character design is wonderful and hideous, and the sense of accomplishment when you get ANYWHERE in this very difficult game is tremendous!I only wish there was a way to skip out on the combat or something. I was better at it when I was a kid but I seem to be getting sluggish in my geriatric 20's!
