IAmSinistar: Yes, the SSI D&D titles would be a major release coup here. Besides the EotB games, there are some amazing ones like

Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, and even
DragonStrike that are worth visiting again.
Menzoberranzan in particular I've always wanted to try, but I have a soft spot for the drow culture. I was never a fan of Dark Sun, but I have heard that the game's pretty awesome. Maybe someday.... can't hurt to keep hoping, right? :)
CarrionCrow: You mean, you were playing Final Fantasy 4 back then?
-breaks into whole song and dance about Square's problems with counting back in the day- ;)
Actually, no - if you want to be that exact, I was playing the Americanized Final Fantasy IV Easytype for the SNES. ;P
When I first played FFIV Hardtype (via emulator), I was blown away by how much more complex and fun the game was. It's actually still my favorite FF game, although I think VI is the best one. That reminds me - I could totally be playing it on my iPhone while waiting for the insomnia to change over and my rare elite to respawn in WoW.
And somehow, I missed a couple of replies.
IAmSinistar: Starscream is an epitome of the fawning-yet-conniving evil. One of the most interesting characters of the series.
I also like the Quintessons from the animated film. Some folks have mistaken my avatar for one, but that doesn't bother me. :)
"Innocent. Feed him to the Sharkticons." The nicest thing about Starscream is that they never changed him. They successfully added some depth in later series (TF: Prime comes to mind) without actually changing his overall character. He's so wonderfully fawning and whining and completely untrustworthy, yet so brilliant and good at making himself necessary that he's always absolutely indispensable.
And yeah, the Quints are awesome. To this day, whenever one shows up in tv/movie/toy form, I hear Weird Al's "Dare to Be Stupid" in my head and then I really grin.
Tarnicus: I loved the Dinobots, they were my favourite as a child! I remember telling my Uncle that I loved Transformers, and he said "I didn't realise you were into electronics." Silly "old man" :P
With that, I am off for a walk as the sun is shining and breaking through this icy wind, and I need to get moving a bit after so much time glued to the computer :)
The Dinobots were never a favorite, but I liked them. I'm terribly fond of Slag, but my prejudice toward triceratops is showing, there.
