How old do I feel right now? GameFly must be run by people born in the mid-90's. When I opened this and saw "OldSchool" games I thought Command and Conquer: Red Alert from 1996 or Warcraft 2 from 1995. Maybe something as new as Diablo 2 from 2000 or Sim City 3 from 1999. But no, alas they are talking about games like Civilization IV from 2005 and 2003's Sim City 4. I thought for a bare second that they were bringing me the 1987 version of Sid Meier's Pirates! But no, it is, quite understandably, the 2004 Remake. There is even a game from 2009, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3! So all that to say, I'm old. When I think that a company is going to try to sell a game from 1987, I'm really old.
