I love that Fallout is now thought of as a first-person game, but it started as a turn-based isometric team RPG in 1997 which was, itself, a near-remake of a 1988 game, which I spent hours playing as a kid.

And then a few years ago, Wasteland was also revived in the style of the first two Fallout games.

Yes, I know I'm old.

I still want to go back and play the first 2 fallout games. I wasn't aware of them when they came out, so I wasn't introduced to the series until 3.

They're amazing. I highly recommend it if you like games in that style. The first two Baldur's Gates were also like that (I haven't played the latest).

I do! Although I do think I prefer BG3's turn-based combat vs real time w/ pause.

They are turn-based, not real time with pause. I prefer the former too.

Oh good! That's awesome to hear. I think I might even own them from some bundle in steam, but I just haven't gotten around to playing them.

Oh, there you are, Shadow of the Colossus.

2005 (PS2), 2011 (PS3 w/ Ico), and 2018 (PS4 remake)

You can emulate a PS2 on your phone these days. Bluetooth controller with a phone clip and you have a hell of a catalogue available to you.

Went into CEX the other week, and saw PS1 games I'd bought when I was already an adult with a job, being sold second hand for more than I'd originally bought them for.

I still can't fathom that Pikmin is past the legal drinking age in the United States.

Don't look up when Pikmin 2 came out

Looks up when Pikmin 2 came out

Is a year earlier than I remembered

World of Warcraft hits 20 this year. I was there (via private servers), starting in 2006.

Next year, Civilization IV will be TWENTY years old. D:

Dude, I remember installing the first Civilization on my Mac LC II in high school.
