PBM is dead! Long live PBM!
#2
Being on a slow dial-up Internet connection, and connecting to the Internet at anywhere from 24K to 26.4K, the downloads for even trying games such as Empyrean Cluster Wars (the descendant of Empyrean Challenge) are an obstacle, in and of themselves. That's why I haven't tried that game, yet.

That aside, I have yet to find an interface for a newer generation PBM or PBM-type game that I would rate as intuitive, per se. Some are clearly better than others, but all that I have tried, to date, have their respective drawbacks. Fighting the interface helps to kill player interest, and also helps to keep newer games from reaching their full potential as a medium of entertainment.
