as much as interfaces are 'part' of the game, its the game engine and
mechanics that are most important. in this respect , SC3k has FAR more
realism, functionality and interaction. The buttons arent that big when
you play the game in 1600x1200 on a 19" monitor anyway..... :-)
but a good point anyway.... what other games do people think have been
'damaged' by their UI's? (Need to learn for my own project(s))
...or maybe, What games were enhanced or better for their UI
(Populous, Megalomania and the LucasArts Monkey Islands come to mind)
