* Fresh Start: Players create a nation from scratch (often based on real world nations, leading to some anachronisms), and lead their nation from the starting point (originally 4000 BCE and now more often 2000 or even 1000 BCE), up to the modern age. This NES type, however, is notorious for dying before its goal of reaching the modern age, with only a few legendary NESes reaching it. To many people Fresh Starts are the keystone of NESing. This was the first type of NES.
anyone know who wrote this? This was NOT the first type of NES... Board games existed much before and so did other games. The first fresh start was RTOR2...
