Heartc, you've made a very good point regarding TDC interaction. I haven't played SHI in so long I forgot what I liked about it. May have to dust it off to remind myself. I know the eye candy is great with the newer versions, but I still remember there were some game play aspects that were outstanding with the older games. It's like the developers knew they had to make game mechanics worth while since the graphics were only so well developed.

I remember one of the neat game play mechanics for Epyx's Sub Battle Simulator game was you had to type in the latitude and longitude coordinates to get to your way-points and destination. Made you to have to learn the process of global positioning on a map, which is a good thing for RL. The draw back to the game was the graphics. I thought I was flying high when I bought my first RGB monitor to play Sub Battle on. For a good while I'd been playing on an Amber colored monochrome monitor (which was a step up from the black and white monochrome). Graphics does make a difference, but good game play should never be cut short.
