Heh, if I actually created a strategy game the average RTS gamer would
have a far too short attention span to play it. Strategy games are not RTS
games, it's very unfortunate that the whole genre of strategy games has
nowadays been associated with this (imho) stupid little sector.

Personally I'd like to one day see the old "Laser Squad" ported to Linux,
or just about any of the old (1980:s) SSI games. Ah, those were strategy
games...
