I’ll admit to a certain illogical fondness for THAC0 myself, perhaps partly because it takes a bit of getting used to. Maybe it’s similar to folk here in the UK being emotionally attached to the oddity of imperial measurement systems - at least for some things. But I’d agree that the newer AC system is better, simpler and more intuitive (as is the metric system ), and would never advocate for turning time back or implementing THAC0 in a game now, and I may be wrong but I don’t think that was what Spyder was saying either, just that it wasn’t as complicated as all that when you were used to it.
