[QUOTE="ValamirCleaver, post: 7001888, member: 703"] I still have the CD-ROMs for Panzer General, Allied General, Fantasy General, Star General, Pacific General, Panzer General II, People's General, Panzer General 3D Assault & Panzer General III: Scorched Earth from when I purchased them when they were originally released.

In what way, shape or fashion is Stardew Valley a D&D style fantasy RPG? Which D&D style fantasy RPG "Retro 2D games" have sold better than Wasteland 2 or Pillars of Eternity? Both InXile & Obsidian have released multiple RPGs (Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny) that can easily be described as "hit with fans, critics and sales" without coming close to spending an "EA or Bioware" sized "budget". Both InXile & Obsidian have games in development. Torment: Tides of Numenera is going top be released in less than 6 weeks. InXile is currently developing the Bard's Tale 4 & Wasteland 3.
