    I was a huge fan of the Buck Rogers games too. Loved the combat, and I felt that the skillful use of smoke and chaff made up a bit from the tactics lost (compared to the other Goldbox games) from not having magic. Absolutely loved the ship combat too!

    And yeah, Matrix Cubed’s ending was quite abrupt. Out of any of the series, it took be the longest to beat Matrix Cubed, and the sudden ending was brutal when I finally reached it. Also, did anyone else manage to save scot.dos? I never did, and was always so sad when he died. His death has always been one of the most memorable deaths in a videogame for me, particularly because I knew I could have saved him if I had spent my skill points better. Tragic.

    I grew up playing the SSI Goldbox Series. Absolutely some of my favorite games of all time, and the reason I became a PC gamer. When I was a kid, a family friend gave me an old computer and a shopping bag full of games, but the SSI ones were the only ones that really grabbed me. I probably spent about a decade playing through them all, some of them multiple times. It’s tragic though, since as I tend to dislike most other RPGs. Other games either lack the control the the SSI series afforded in combat, or tend to play too slowly with the turn-based combat dragging on endlessly. I am so hyped to see more from you guys! To celebrate, I’m going to playtrough at least one of the classic in the meantime.
