I guess there's a down side to that. It's similar to folks that know they'll
like the ubiquitous classic rock station and thus never sweep the dial to try
anything else. But I kind of like that dynamic in games. I still like Chill, and
Space:1889, and Mercenaries, Spies and Private Eyes, and Talislanta, and OtE,
and Pandemonium. I don't know how much of that is raw nostalgia, and how much is
the fact that a game that was really good when it came out will still be really
good a few years later. And it certainly doesn't keep me from playing UA, or 7th
Sea, or Deadlands, or D&D3, or whatever all the kids are playing this week.
Years from now, I'm sure UA will still be on my All Time Favorites list. I'm not
sure about the others.
