theres a great little pvp wargame sim from the sega genesis era called 'Herzog Zwei'

it was perfect in its simplicity. deserves a reboot.

Unreal Tournament, the one that was abandoned in favor of Fortnite (eugh). Like sure it would never be a big hit like Fortnite, Arena Shooters are out of fashion after all, but Epic didn't even give it a chance for starters, they basically just rushed it out the door with a skeleton crew, no budget whatsoever and were begging for community members to do free work on the game for them. In retrospect the game was doomed to fail from day one.

I enjoyed Rampart tremendously back in the day. It had a lot of ports, but I'm surprised it hasn't had any remakes or clones in the last 30 years.

I don't know if it's forgotten, but it's forgotten to me. There was this ant game where you had a colony of ants that would go collect food, or attack other colonies. There was this very pixelated top-down map view where you could see the brightly colored food disappear pixel by pixel as they ate.

I can't figure out what the game was but I loved it.

Dang. I thought I was the only person who had ever heard of this one. Might have to boot it up in an emulator one of these days and give it a go.

Battleborne - I found it enjoyable but because it was superficially similar to Overwatch it absolutely bombed.
