Sid Meier, you suck

This isn’t my first foray into gaming. Back around 1996 I had this really cool idea for a Civil War game. I spent months and months planning all of the details. I even designed a cover for the game. After most of the planning was complete I started approaching programmers to see if anyone was interested.

And then Sid Meier released Gettysburg

Except for one or two minor details the game-play of my game and Sid’s was identical, down to the units having flags you could click on. But at least I got to play “my” game, which is still one of my favorites. 

I have yet to forgive Sid.
