Deus Ex Appreciation Thread

Anyone here play this gem of a game? It was one of the first that I played on the computer and blew my mind. Even though it's been 15 years or so since I first played it I still rate it highly.
Anyone played the sequel or the latest one? How do they compare? I don't want to play them even though I've dled them both, in case they ruin the first one for me.

I don't really remember the second, it's been to long(when was it released?) and I know I never completed it. The general consensus though, rates it below the original. I think they changed some gameplay mechanics or something. I don't remember disliking it. The newest one was pretty good, hell it's one of the few games I have actually finished in the last five years or so, so that's got to say something.
Before the newest game came out I tried to play the original, but damn those graphics are dated. Might have to try it again modded or something. Looks like HDTP is the graphics enhanced mod for that. One of the best games I ever played, and I believe the original Half life and quake 2 are the only games I have played through more times.

The original is one of the best games of all time. It defined the FPS/RTS genre from the time it was released until......well frankly it's still much better than most similar games that come out now.
The sequel had good points, but was dramatically worse than the first. It also had stupid gameplay mechanics like universal ammunition, which made certain character builds nightmarish. I tried to be a heavy weapons character on my first play through, and it was a goddamn nightmare.
The prequel is VERY good and well worth playing. Not as good as the first for a few different reasons, but comes very close to the mark. An excellent game.

Yeah, I loved HR so much I bought 1/2, but I haven't gotten around to playing them yet.

I thought it was amazing when it was first released, but I have a hard time going back to it now... I thought Invisible War was pretty cool despite a lot of the negativity. Human Revolution is by far my favorite, though.

HR is trippy as fuck, I remember playing that on a ton of MXE was so intense.

I've purchased one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Deus-Ex-Primas-Official-Strategy-Guide-Inc-IMGS-Good-Book-/330996238910
And have installed this mod: http://www.moddb.com/mods/new-vision
Looks much better. Looking forward to playing the game with all the possibilities and options etc open, there's a lot of forks in the storyline that I didn't pick up on when playing it the first 5 times...this way I'll know what my decisions etc mean
