Ascendancy, MOO3, Road to Moscow, and other favorites.

Whatever happened to Road to Moscow? I was traveling in 1999-2000 so I kinda missed it. The preview looked amazing.

I was so pumped for Road to Moscow. So... pumped... I remember how you were going to be able to set each unit's frontage. That still seems like an awesome idea.

I think I played Ascendancy, and I have a copy of MOO3 I bought off of eBay a while back for like 6 bucks. I'm curious enough that I might just have to listen to this.

But for fuck's sake, listening? That's a great way to get information at less than half speed.

Ouch.

Yet sadly true. MOO3 was far and away the worst/biggest disappointment I've ever experienced in PC gaming. Even Rome Total War wasn't as big of a letdown.
