Scott, are there any “modern” games that you feel capture the same spirit of exploration and discovery that your games embraced?
Some of the games that I have greatly enjoyed are (in no particular order)
Myst, Everquest (1 and 2), Dark Age of Camelot, Age of Empires, Fable, Guild Wars 2, Baldurs Gate, Half Life, Valheim (currently playing), Descent (played with two joysticks, one in each hand to give full 3D controls), Star Wars Galaxy, Sims, Call of Heroes, Ultima Online
