  • if you like that you should try joust or centapede,or the older zeldas,and ninja gaidens,played them for weeks,my wife thought i had lost it,and Red Neck Rampage,were you were all ways looking for bubba,the way you did a level change you hit bubba with a crow bar,and you killed huge jackalopes and you rode a harley it was alot of fun,i still have the old games in my libary of game,things like Dark Reign,Total annilation,All the decent games,Heavy Metal,and Heavy metal 2000,serious sam,we have a hugh collection all the old Diablo,and the old Dooms,star lancer,unreal,and you can still find many of them,online alot have been coverted or ported to run on xp and linux some of the old ones havent,oh and Unreal and Unreal two,realy wanted to play redneck rampage again and found it inline on their site,some people found a way to run it on xp as the compatbilitie program won't work so theres a work around just haven't had time and it is only joystick,there are hundreds of fun old games,and many still have quite a following,but free lancer is were it's at for me,and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. shadow of chernobyl,and Stalker Clear Sky,i've got good old games some that most people have forgotten about,at one time gaming was moving so fast you could go to the store and almost every week some thing newi remmeber when the only games were pinball and you put a quarter in to play,i grew up playing checkers and chess,and poker,i guess i've been around a while hehehe :shock:

  • I love playing chess... it's good to the mind! :D





    Heavy Metal and Heavy Metall 2000 are names of games? :o never heard of them :?:

  • Yes they are games and were a lot of fun to play,you only needed at the time a 166mhz cpu to play it,an 95,98,or nt OS to play it,and 32megs of ram and it was top of the line game play and with plots and lots of bad guys, and it had a herion, as she was the warrior and only Warrior left of her planet to fight the bad fight it was a lot of fun,you might try to google it up,she fought with a sword and guns,and was considered a very futurestic game of it's time and was all 3d there was also State of war and war inc.and Devided Destiny,i can list many titles we have,as me and my Friend library games as we collect them to play,here's one that is fairly recent and was gone in a flash Area 51,and Blacksite Area 51 two completely diff games,most of these games are FPS,and we have every C&C Game ever made,and all the Quakes,it's been around a long time,another game Pariah, and Conflict Global Terror,and Empire Earth,all the Tomb Raiders,and Prey ,ever I/2 Life made long before Steam became what it is today.And many many others,as i said,i've been gaming a long time,did you ever hear of Duke Nukem,we have the first ver.s they were all 2D,like in the old console games,then went 3d and i guess faded out,games can't keep up with the tec that their made with,and thats what worrys me about FreeLancer it such a great and emersive game with so much to explore and do and see,but someday it will be just be a collectors item as,it won't get the upgrades to it's core that is needed for the newer tech around the corner,maybe i'll put to gether a list of the games,when i get some time and you can google them up and ck them out a few have been ported so they will play,and some you have to hack your machine to play but are a lot of fun to play,if your interested just let me know

    PS
    Don't like Steam as any time you buy a game you should not have to have an enternet connection to play your games and Steam is very intrusive also,it's just Corporate greed, so even though i have all the latest ver.s of some games i don't play them,because of that fact

  • :idea: I think i have to go to wikipedia search about them!




    And, If i am allowed 8-) i suggest playing "Gun", it's a good'ol First Person Shooter in the cowboy time! I think you may like it, and, probably you have already played it! :lol: It has a very entertaining and engaging storyline, very well constructed and that will make anyone glued to the PC screen or TV screen (If played on PlayStation2 :D )

  • Well that works,i just do a lot of research,on secruity issues and i have msn,so i use that search never really liked anything else other than fire fox and it uses google,used to have linux on some of my machines and went back to Stupid microsoft so i can play the games with out an emulator so i use msn,and the search is decent sometimes,never really cared for wikipedia,for finding things but works for some research,plus i research the games,and how they are built...you know there history,it's interesting,and some games are ported to linux but not enough,and i don't play dungen games or world of warcraft,just never like them,but fps and rpg,thats were its at for me though i did have a lot of those other games and gave them out,i'm into science fiction to,and in my life i have seen many of the things that writers of my day wrote about ,have been coming true,like communiction,and computers,and going to the moon people going into space,and many other things :)

  • I also like Sci-Fi a lot! And Astronomy, I'm in love with the universe! I actually believe that there's life out there, if there isn't, it's a major waste of space in this massive universe!




    When i see pitures of the galaxies and the giant nebulaes, i'm like... OMG! :o Universe is so dangerous but so beautiful!

  • I believe that the universe the Creator made was made for others too, why would he make only one set of peoples to inhabit one small planet in a universe so big, we are as one small grain of sand on a very large beach, so there is life out there even if it's something we don't understand. I believe their are out there and who knows someday our peoples will probably meet them, hopefully we as a people will have learned by then and we will meet in peace :)

  • You are absolutely right! :lol:




    It's just like the Freelancer intro says:
    "Millions died for the same piece of rock (...)" <-- this proves we may think we are preety big and massive, but in fact, we are so damn little! :D

  • Just so..as a people we have much to learn before we go out there. And we have our own solar system yet to explore,Ah so much to do so little time hehehe ;)

    Exactly! Human life is so short and people waste their lives with wars and discrimination! :cry: I'm a musician in-the-making and I write songs usually connected to Death but I don't think that that it is a good thing, not really... I write like that because Heavy Metal songs are connected to that :lol: not anything else! :D




    cheers!

  • write from the heart and you will all ways succeed,write with truth,not from every one elses genre,but what u feel and your music will have life and emotion,will be alive, listen to Nym and you will see what i mean,he has a few posts with his music in the forums,he plays from the heart :)

  • I think I might just do that! :D I write with my heart also, it's spontaneous after my emotions come to my skin after burning up in my heart! :lol: My high grade in English also helps me! 8-)
