Aerothorn: How is Summoner 2? I had a raging nerd-boner for the 1st game. Well, except for the UGLIEST characters in history.

- Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: the best in the Civ series, and not even developed by Sid.

That's not a sequel to anything, though. It's a new game in its own right.

If you're calling that a sequel, we might as well just say Starcraft and be done with it.

How anyone could rate NOLF2 higher then the first is beyond me. Nolf was a big colorful ball of joy, my favorite shooter ever. NOLF2, meh. So fake and so not funny.

I loved the first summoner, but never completed it, and we have to thank it for one of the greatest nerd-humour meme videos ever, Summoner Geeks.
"I cast magic missile at the darkness!"
"Okay, but if there are any girls there I want to do them!"
Awesome :D

(http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/terminator-future-shock/screenshots) Terminator: Future Shock. Infinitely superior to Bethesda's previous two Terminator games, (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/terminator/screenshots) The Terminator and (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/terminator-2029/screenshots) The Terminator 2029.

Hell, I'm still pining for a remake of Future Shock in a modern engine. It nailed the experience of roaming a post-apocalyptic landscape over a decade before STALKER came along.

I remember falling through the floor in that. Reminded me of Daggerfall. :D

Fuck Thief 1. Seriously, zombies, acid belching mini T-Rexs, lobstermen? Lord Bafford's mansion was terrific, but then it totally jumps the shark with the second level.

Thief 2 is how Thief 1 should've been, sans the copypasta surveillance cameras and security drones from System Shock 2.

Thief 2 is evidence that you never ever listen to your fanbase when you've already released a game that was almost perfect. LESS OF THE COOL SHIT! the internet cried. WE WANT LORD BAFFORDS WITHOUT THE COZINESS AND SOME COCKAMAMIE BULLSHIT ABOUT A SUBMARINE AND WHATEVER. And they delivered. It was the gaming equivalent of Deliverance, except instead of snore snore snore SQUEAL snore snore it was snore snore snore LoTP snore snore. They even pulled the dick move of making you do one of the worst missions in the entire Thief series TWICE. In succession. The best mission in the game was the demo, which wasn't even in the game.

Star Control 2

To be fair, it's a completely different game to Star Control, but awesome nonetheless

No way Star Control 2 better than the first one!!! Anyways, i think they are so different that they can't be compared, just as you said, however i enjoyed much more the first one. But the second was great, too.

Worms 2, of course.

And hate me but i prefere System Shock 2 over System Shock.

I'm not sure you can say that Dune 2 was 'better' than the first game either, in the same vein.
