I wish GDW had...

If you compare it to real world data the whole computer thing doesnt work.

GDW like almost everyone else underestimated the growth of the computer industry in 1984. Remember that was the year of Apples big splash.

They did not appreciate that in 1997 something like 600 million PCs would be available around the world. If 1% survive the whole "No computers" goes out the window.

In 1997 I toured multiple EMP hardened data centers (local in Illinois) each with literally 1000s of computers protected with multiple redundancies. Project Reset would be a joke in the real world.


I did some calculation on Dark conspiracy (another gdw game) and it was supposed to take place in 2013 take a look at the computer specs GDW expected for that year. Clearly they did not follow Moore's Law.

to be fair everyone from the mid-80's underestimated the growth of computers in this country - its pretty funny that the supposed Star Trek tech shown in early 80's movies was already passé by the time we got to where the war started in real life - let alone things like cell phones (have to laugh looking at movies like Wall Street and thinking of what they had back then compared to what we have today)

I would say that if any module needed a serious rewrite for version 1 it would be the Reset one - not the rest of it but turn Reset into something that actually makes sense compared to the real world tech progress
