This is a sad day for PC gamers.
It was a sad day several years ago when Origin stopped being a power player in making games. Now, it's just nestalgia and rememberance of fonder times.
Origin has been responsible for more ground breaking and beloved games than any other developer:
Ultima I-IX, Savage Empire, Martian Dreams, UO
Ultima Underworld I-II
Wing Commander I-V
I liked Martian Dreams. The Wing Commander storyline got a little old to me after awhile, but I was running through a fantasy and RPG mode at the time, too...Ultima Underworld was a Looking Glass title, wasn't it?
Privateer I-II
Privateer I, certainly and most definitely. It's sequel can hardly be called such. But a good stab at it. I do think a little known game called Terminus was far better than either of these, but this is after the fan community took ahold of it and improved it.
System Shock
A game that practically defined Origin on it's own. And one of the few games I can recall where the sequel was actually better than its predecessor.
Crusader: No Remorse & No Regret
Shadow Caster
Bioforge
I will agree, Bioforge was a damn fine game. For some reason I just can't recall ever playing Shadow Caster..
