So far the only new generation game that I have seen to offer technical gameplay beyond what I had 10 years ago in text-based MUDs is Tribes 2. The graphics keep getting better, but the gameplay basics don't change that dramaticly. Of course one could argue that the text interface has the potential for creating a far richer experience than the best 1600x1400 24bit graphics with full surround-sound audio you can buy. After all, the book is almost always better than the movie. Daniel Taylor
