There are more crap games being produced now then games that ran on them none up to date machines.


From time to time I install old good StarCraft. Play 1-2 hours and uninstall it. I don't know, may be it's nostalgia...

In my opinion 3DGS only real weak area is the age of its fore interface
(panels, text handling and other 2D displays elements) these havn't kept pace with the rest of the advancements and changes to the rest of the package.



Yes, I hate panel/text/digit/button 3dgs way. Making dropdown scrollable listbox or right mouse button clicked buttons is a real pain-in-ass. (From other side, look at amazing TripleX work with panels in LevelEditor )
3dgs like old good armchair. Inconveniently on it to sit, but you continue to do it. Because in the rest it arranges you. And has got used...
