Yes!

Myth 3 was a bit disappointing in comparison but 1 and 2 are still among my all time favourites.

They're also a perfect example of real-time strategy done right. Great controls, formations and tactics matter, interesting units, suitably challenging missions, great story...

Still being maintained and ported? Hmm, I'll have to look it up then...

That second quote referred to the Thach Weave, which BTW does not rely on superior numbers. It is a method for forcing double teams.

Huh? I'm no expert on aerial combat but I read the wikipedia article on the Thach Weave and it does seem to require superior numbers in practice...

The pilots work in pairs and when an enemy fighter tries to engage one of them, the pair can execute the weave allowing the second pilot to attack the enemy.
So what happens if TWO enemy fighters attack, each targetting one of the pair?

I use walkthroughs (mostly in single player RPGs) for exactly one reason. I hate missing out on content.

It's very annoying to find out later on that if you had just taken the other road in the beginning of chapter 3 you'd have found the rare weapon X. Or that gaining skill Y would have required you to choose the third conversation option with NPC Z.

Sure you could find many of these hidden extras if you played through the game several times, searched everywhere and tried everything but how many of us has time for that?

It's terribly annoying when a keyboard decides to place something else in the top-left corner.

My previous keyboard had a sleep button in that location. More than once I was playing some game, tried to hit Esc quickly without looking and ended up cursing when the computer entered sleep mode... At least it was configurable so I could then disable it...
