> Its interesting how most of the major pre-computer fantasy universes with big fan-bases (Battletech, Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, Star Wars etc.) never managed to really transition seriously into computer games (a few hits but lots of misses and certainly no dominant series like warcraft and starcraft).

Don't think that is entirely accurate. Star Wars: The Old Republic is the fastest growing MMO ever, achieving 1 million users in 3 days. It might never be WOW but it is definitely a major game.
