I miss the Sierra Quest for Glory series as well as the old platformers. What I wouldn't give for a supped-up, modernized Commander Keen <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.I am looking forward to a few games:<a href="http://www.tdkm.com/games/startrek/index.asp" target="_blank">Star Trek: Shattered Universe </a>: Basically a glorified flyer game, this one takes place in the Star Trek universe and places the player under the command of Captain Sulu. The graphics looks good and each mission is set up in the trek-style episodic form.<a href="http://www.planethalflife.com/half-life2/" target="_blank">Half-life 2</a>: You could not keep me away from this title if there were a swarm of angry elephants running at me. I loved halflife - I personally believe it to be one of the best shooters out there. Morgan Freeman returns after the collapse of the Black Mesa project in City 17; however the Theoretical Physics front is no longer quiet and strange things are happening. Good to great graphics, exceptional game "physics", new weapons, more dynamic characters and the ability to pilot vehicles make this game look like it will surpass the original in every way possible.<a href="http://doomworld.com/doom3/" target="_blank">Doom 3</a>: Another title that relies on the memories of older gamers; this game is not going to be a shooter like the first two doom games. Doom 3 has elements that are meant to scare you to the point of screaming. The Doom preview shown at E3 set my teeth on edge and my hair on end. Doom 3 has outstanding graphics, a great ambiance, and what looks like great game play.You can expect to see Half-life 2 and Doom 3 in stores in April/May of 2004 as problems with hackers and deadlines have hampered the ability of both companies. ST:SU is supposed to be released in December. If you are looking for information on games you might like, I would suggest watching TechTV's "X play" or going to their website at: <a href="http://www.techtv.com/xplay/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.techtv.com/xplay/index.html</a> . I think their reviews tend to be a little on the nit-picky side, but they tend to look at every major release for multiple platforms.Erge</blockquote>
