Strange choice to release an article about RTS without mentioning Starcraft. I still play frequently as do plenty others, despite naysayers claiming the genre as dead for 5+ years. Stormgate coming out soon will hopefully scratch the itch for a sequel.

The article's timeline ends in '96, two years before the release of Starcraft.

I think it's more about the origin of the genre rather than it's greatest exponents. I believe an honest retrospective on RTS should also include Warcraft 3, RA2, AoE2 (!) and Cannon Fodder, among many other titles.

I share your sentiment about Stormgate, I hope I get to play it without having to upgrade my PC, at least.

You can bet that Jimmy will talk about it within the next few months.
