Older Than They Think/Tabletop Games: Difference between revisions

* The similarities between ''[[Starcraft]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' are often cited as the source for their comparisons, in truth both were created independent of each other. They did however draw from the same sources, like [[Robert A. Heinlein|Heinlein]] and ''[[Dune]]''.

** It would be more accurate to say that, while WH40K fans frequently accuse Starcraft of ripping their setting off wholesale, they're both much more influenced by [[Starship Troopers]], published in 1959, and both took advantage of the "space marines against insect-like aliens" motif seen in ''Alien'' and ''Aliens'', released in 1979 and 1986 respectively.
