What, no mention of every random game that had the concept of mana?
- jpatokal 12y agoPopulous was a blockbuster game and it predates both Warcraft and Diablo by half a decade (released 1989), so it is indeed a striking omission. It's also the first game I can remember that used the concept by that name.
- danudey 12y agoSure, but it did little to bring the word to modern-day gamers compared to the impact that WoW and other RPGs has had.
- liotier 12y agoIt did, indirectly as a whole generation of developers has been exposed to it... And they made the games you know today.
- joshu 12y agoyes, but a lot of other games of the era also used the concept. It is not significant.
