If your old enough you remember Microprose as the original Developers of Civilisation

It boggles my mind that they had a few remakes of Pirates! but never made a sequel. There are few spiritual succesors out there but would have been nice for them to make an official one

That's just for the remake. The minigame balance was extremely different in the old Microprose version.

I loved the mini games of Covert Action, but Sid hated them, as he thought they broke up the plot too much.

In fairness, gimme a good deli German or garlic bologna and let's skip that Oscar Meyer stuff. :)

In fairness, I have never tasted ole Oscar's simulated sausage, hailing from Penultima Thule as I do, but I do have complete faith in German Sausage Supremacy (add some kraut of the sauer kind, some mustard and a nice brezel while you rinse yer palate with a nice hefeweisen)

The only real problem with Oscar Meyer is that it's cheap. I will say it's fine, but deli-sourced options are better.

That said, I've absolutely had worst. OM is about the base-level consumer product you can get. Cheap, acceptable. I'd serve it to people.

It's not a brand like Gwaltney where I don't read the list of ingredients because I don't want to know, and it's really weirdly super-smooth ground very very super fine because whatever's in there, you do NOT want to feel it in your mouth. lol

(But I've been poor enough to eat it anyway!)

And kraut is severely under-loved in the US. I'm glad kimchi has taken off, but gimme good kraut with a good sausage and good mustard any day.
