A quotation from Richard Steele
Methinks a Man cannot, without a secret Satisfaction, consider the Glory of the present Age, which will shine as bright as any other in the History of Mankind. It is still big with great Events, and has already produced Changes and Revolutions which will be as much admired by Posterity, as any that have happened in the Days of our Fathers, or in the old Times before them.Richard Steele (1672-1729) Irish writer and politician
Essay (1710-02-06), The Tatler, No. 130

Similar to a good record or song, some video games accompany me ever since I was first introduced to them. "The Sentinel" ("The Sentry" in the US) from 1986 is such a game. I was first introduced to it when I bought the tape version at a discount for my Commodore 64 (which was somewhere in late 1987).
I also played the AtariST, Amiga and ZX Spectrum versions, the latter being my favourite 8 bit version.
Today "The Sentinel" is often described as a "3D strategy game, involving resource management and timing". But back in the day the concept was absolutely new and often bulkily described as a "3D variant of the classic chess game".
And it seems that this game made an impression on other people as well, which is why there is a nice "fan remake" for modern systems: Pinnacle
