And just so you know: If you'd ordered yesterday, you could have "every 
game id software has ever released" for $34. (Instad of about $300, 
which is what you'll now have to pay since the special offer is over.)

I was vaguely tempted, but I figured I've already *got* Quake 2 and 
Doom, so why bother?

I love games like Flashback and Oddessy. Back then, it must have been 
quite some task to produce games like this. Today it would seem quite 
easy. So I wonder... why is nobody doing this?

(Oddessy is graphically rich, but the very low resolution is quite 
annoying. Also the sound is quite grainy too. Which is a shame really. 
They thought up such wonderful environments, it's a pitty you can't see 
and hear them in crisp, clear detail.)
