The Most Exciting Game Announcement Ever

I, Boat, do solemnly swear that the most excited I have ever been for any game announcement ever was for the X-COM : Enemy Unknown announcement.  The first time I saw the screenshots I swear I got a little lightheaded, for just a second.

Then I was thinking about other ancient franchises that I 1) respected, 2)still respect, and 3) haven't been revisited lately.

There's only three left : X-COM, Pinball Construction Set, and Dungeon Keeper.  And X-COM was my favorite.

If I compared my 20 favorite games now to my 20 favorite games of 1999 I think there would only be three, maybe four games on both lists.  That's really weird.
