I had nothing but approval on TWC when I brought up Darklands as being the sadest non-remake of all time. The game simply set a precedent, that in a way was never matched, with freedom of action and exploration that was so easy to immerse yourself in and love. The realism was brilliant, and its such a shame that in the age of mega-buck RPGs nobody tried to make a Darklands II, except for failed open-source projects.
