one of the very best (and sadly overlooked) games that came out in the dos days. they don't make these kinds of games anymore

Time Commando and Warcraft II are the most important games of my youth. I remember being scared to death while playing either.

I can't even begin to imagine how horrible a Sim City game would be on a console.

Rekindling the win of these classic games is sadly one of the most overlooked and underrated things that you can do with the vastly-available intrawebs nowadays.

do you think kids will one day talk about current games like you're all talking about these games?

You'd be surprised as to how many people all over the world are still playing games like Starcraft, Quake 3 Arena, Diablo 2 and the non-source Counter Strike 24/7.

Myself included. CS is still one of the most played online games, in fact I think its the most played FPS. It really is timeless and it runs on a poor man's PC.

Q3A seems really pointless nowadays, I always struggle finding servers, QLive is a godsend though but I don't play it much.
