On one hand, it was unwise and intrusive to flood the market with those titles. Whether or not it deserved that fate is a matter of opinion.

Aside from a few re-releases, the series has been left to rest peacefully. There was a mobile game for pre-smart phones, and then that’s it.

Then there is the 2004 version of Sid Meier's Pirates, a game I've poured more hours into than I really want to think about, and much more.Īlso featured here is Irrational's extra colourful tactical role-playing superhero series Freedom Force, the original two Hidden and Dangerous games, Sid Meier's Railroads and even a handful of the Army Men games.
