Good evening. You are listening to Three Moves Ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zakeney.

Tonight, we have two-thirds of a regular panel, starting with our founder and friend, Troy Goodfellow.

Troy, how are you tonight?

I'm tired and cranky, but otherwise well.

Oh, this is going to be great show. All right. I'm loving this energy.

We also welcome freelance writer Julian Murdoch.

I'm clearly the third half full.

Excellent.

So I wanted you two here because you're so much older than I am and so much wiser

and you've seen so much more gaming's history than I have.

And, of course, you were alive when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon.

So I figure you're ideal for this topic.

You know, in the last couple weeks, good old games added syndicate and thief gold to its

catalog.

And, you know, I'm always thrilled to see games that are both good and actually old,

appear in good old games, because that isn't always the case with what you

find there. But I have to admit that I'm kind of greedy, and I always want a little more.

So tonight I wanted to round up this crew of gaming geriatrics and discuss what games from the

past we'd like to see brought to a wider audience, and why. Along the way, I hope we'll rip off each other's rose-tinted glasses and get into what really makes a game hold up.

And, you know, in some cases, what we're not getting from newer releases.

And to be frank, I also hope we can start lining up topics for classic game analysis so that I don't have to keep throwing Hail Mary show topics together

because exploiting your friends is one sure way of staying three moves ahead.
