Was it? Been forever since I've played AoE 1. I guess the multi-building thing is similar to the waypoint feature, as that used the same key. You think so? I would have put Unreal in the beginning, as that was a major change when it came to FPS, especially the beginning. Half Life also vastly differed from the genre standard. I did play Medal of Honor (two PC-only games) but it never had any impact on me at all. But yeah, shame that happened, considering I like fast-paced shooters. Of course, those are only really possible on the PC, so not that viable these days. It's not that hard to learn I think, just super tedious, especially if you have played the sequels. I've played EUIII before and it was pretty good for its time. Of course, EUIV has definitely improved things since then. Heck, even the early versions of EUIV can be somewhat annoying to play. Having to siege down every province like it was a fort, urgh... Pride? Doing work properly? Dunno, something like that. One never holds what the future holds and if they are allowed to release it without censoring that stuff, they could have released patches to remove it. Of course, I wouldn't with that "quality" work.

I guess "simple" for the most modern times where it is already super simple. Yeah, I hate those. Ideally, you can distribute stat points (and choose skills) to create your own character and builds. Everything else is already meh and goes against the RPG aspect.

Hmm...no idea. I looked for the current weekly Alicesoft thread but that pastebin there has the MEGA links missing. So I couldn't check if it's the same but I guess so. I also looked into it again and I'm not sure whether it was actually mail order. It was sold via Toranoana exclusively, so maybe...maybe not? But well, it's a 2004 release, so not super rare. Hehe. Well, I had some more disappointments these last two weeks. My third copy of Toushin Toshi III arrived, also damaged which one couldn't see on the picture. I wonder whether I will ever get a non-damaged copy of it... Apart from that, I finally got the two items from that French forwarding service and well...both items are damaged. One certainly took it from all the shipping as that tear in the shrinkwrap is definitely new and some crushing also happened. The other one is warped, despite it being actually in an amaray case. *sigh* At least one copy arrived fine but more importantly, I got a Mugen Houyou book which contains setting references and some original pictures. Apart from that, I got the hint booklet from Ikusa Miko (and also that 紹運絵馬 (no clue what the proper translation is but some wood thingy) mail order bonus). Funnily enough, I also bought my first Alicesoft PC-98 game (3.5''): Dream Program System SG set2. Was more by chance as it was super cheap and no one wanted it. Apart from that, I got some more interesting things, including something which I couldn't find anywhere (not even Suruga-ya) but I guess it will take a while to get here. It's already late at my proxy shop even :/

Ah, btw, did you see that awful new character over at Alicesoft? https://www.alicesoft.com/information/img/arisukouhou_200207_kurokamiarisu.png Yikes. Who created that abomination? o_O
