Then you will need to extend that to the OP of this comment chain as they didn't specify either what Gears of War is. I am going to edit my comment to clarify but I do feel you are too pendantic for asking this.

Third person view in an FPS (first person shooter) type of game was first seen in the first Lara Croft game, I think?

Absolutely, we didn't even have any special graphics cards at the time for 3D, I believe? I remember that started some time around Quake 2 but I am not sure, I might remember wrong.

Yeah, however before Warcraft there was Dune II. But I am not sure which one was more popular at the time and I think Dune II came way before Warcraft.

I think why Dune II is more notable though is that the first Dune game was more of an adventure style came, not a strategy game. Then they changed the game with its successor and introduced the asymmetrical factions that each had a few unique units with differing strategies.

Warcraft took that concept further of course. But even there its rather Warcraft II that really had a big breakthrough.

In Snatch that was intended though. I don't think the plan was to let him speak well.

This is just awful. RIP Chanandler Bong.

Sorry, I will see myself out.

Browsers are mostly identified by user-agent, or not? If so it isn't surprising because people like to fake that. In the least to shut down such silly messages like "please use chrome/edge"

Been using Seal for a long time now, works pretty well. Nice mobile interface as well.

Depends what you mean with "doesn't do". I haven't used Organic maps that much yet, but OSMand can handle street numbers. So Organic maps should too.

However it handles them very poorly, you have to type the address in a certain way or it won't recognise the number in it. Sharing from another app works pretty well most of the time though.
