Very frustrating in for example Duke Nukem 3D when there are several monsters attacking you and you only get to see what happens to be in front of you momentarily every three seconds or so... (Been there, done that!)

It's really graphics dependent, because everything moved faster when I reduced the resolution and graphics quality.

Now playing UFO:Aftermath.

This game is very similar to X-Com, recruit people, train and equip them for mission. Capture aliens, perform autopsy, research technology, build base and better equipments.

I miss game like this, whatever happen to classics?

That Genre will come back sooner or later. It is the same way with Space Sim's, it went out of style for a bit (about 10 years), it now seems to be making a come back.

As for me I'm playing UFOAlien Invasion and Clive Barker's Undying.
