Same here. Too bad it doesn't.

I admit; I get that reaction too.

(Less so than I used to, since this franchise has been around long
enough for it to create a series of its own --they're up to 'Beholder
3' now-- but my mind still flashes back to the SSI games at least a
little when I see the title.)

It happens with other titles too; for instance, every time I read
about a new game with 'Outbreak' in the title, I think that maybe it
will be the much awaited sequel to "Codename: Outbreak" (a sort of
predecessor to STALKER, made by the same developers). Or whenever I
read about a new "MW" game, I think, 'Oooh, Mechwarrior!' but they're
talking about "Call of Duty Modern Warfare".

And don't even get me started on "Portal". ;-)
