Homeworld Turns 17 Years Old

Carl Williams writes, "What would civilization do if presented with an advanced piece of technology, such as a space ship? Robotech asked this in Anime and we see it in Homeworld by Sierra Entertainment for Windows computers, released in 1999. While gamers were probably getting sick of real time strategy games by 1999, who could blame them, Homeworld almost re-invented the genre but now it was 3D and enemies were not just beside you but above and below you. This added depth and challenge to the proceedings but was it worth the learning curve?"
