I think of those things as additional challenges, but it kind of depends on the game. RTS, Dune 2 definitely hasn't aged well compared to Starcraft, for instance. To be fair, Dune 2 is like the first major RTS, though. Lol

But that's partly what I meant by my post, True Random time with my friends is more of a "suffering is content" moment, haha. Playing an FPS with tank controls is infuriating!

I'm personally looking forward to RetroAchevements adding support for MSDOS sometime in the next year, though, because I like the challenge of jank ass games. I'll probably play Dune 2, after I finish all Heroes of Might and Magic 1 and 2, haha.
