You know what really needs to happen? Someone needs to remake Urban Assault in T3D.

It was this RTS/FPS vehicle game where you could build units and put them in squads that you could order around, or jump into the vehicles and fly them yourself. You could also move your host station around, Starcraft style.

Never heard of Urban Assault before.

Battlezone though! HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT BATTLEZONE!
Had so much fun with this game back in the day...

Oh no...The memories come flooding back, dynamix games like Stellar7 and...Nova9! Low-poly, pc-speaker goodness!

Dammit, Mich. there goes my weekend...

Yeah, I'm going to be digging through all my computer supplies to see if I can track down Battlezone or Battlezone 2. Soooo many good memories of those games.

Battlezone.... Aw man! I used to tear up the AI while piloting my tanks - those things could never keep up....

Wasn't Battlezone at the arcade with a scope type display to give you 3D with stereoscopic view? Back then it was just lines.
