Games of unrealized potential
And I'm speaking of course, of Panty Raider. Man what a game that could have been.

Or for those of an 'opposite inclination', Arse Raider would have gone down well, so to speak

Panty Raider isn't good? My friend always says he's gonna get it whenever we're in Software Etc.

I think EU falls under this category, 1 more month of debugging and rethinking could have made this game much better. Opposing Force was awesome, but could have been more. If Age of Wonders had a random map generator, I would never stop playing it. If Startopia would let me pause I could actually manage the action!!!

Shadow President isn't bad, but there are better games out there. Another game, Ashes of Empire has a great premise, but everything else was foobared.

Hmmm, I kinda liked Lords of the Rear. And of course there is always that all-time classic, Magic: The Feathering. Excellent strategy game. Btw, has anybody ever played Sim Pity, where you start with a large city and see it die out piece by piece?

Practically every game ever made

The Corporate Machine which is an excellent game, but I wished they had added a financing model, similar to railroad tycoons. Then it would have been superb. I just bought the game so maybe there is one which I've missed.

Sea Dogs -- the game took Pirates! in the right direction but I wish they had increased interaction, I want to bang the sheriff's wife consequences be hanged. I just got this game as well so maybe it will improve. I'd also like to stay in 1st person mode instead of constantly being forced back into third (in town). I found myself holding down R (the turbo button) alot in sea battles as well.

Fragile Allegiance. It had some rather annoying things that could've easily been fixed to turn it into a classic. For all those niggling faults, there is still a lot of fun to be had with it.

Ascendancy. Loved the game at first, as many do, but after a while you realise just how badly the AI lets the whole thing down, plus some of the tech and building design needed some adjusting for proper balance. I still enjoy playing it however.
