  1. Re:Abandonware? by Moryath · · Score: -1, Troll · on Hosting Company Appears To Be Violating the GPL [Resolved]

    "Don't just take my word for it" followed by a Wikipedia link? Really?

    Yeesh. Talk about missing the point.

    You could have provided directly relevant links instead:

    There. Now hopefully nobody else has to have wikipedia inflicted on them.

    That must be why you need a spaceship to shoot moonbugs.

  4. Re:Missing option - M.U.L.E. by SydShamino · · Score: 1 · on Twelve Game Music Tracks Worth Keeping

    Speaking of C64 games, in addition to M.U.L.E. I really liked the introduction music to Frightmare. Great stuff. I spent a lot of time listening to that so I could reprogram it into the Commodore to play with the sound capabilities.

    Sadly, if you get far enough into the game it just dies . . depending on the path you take the game either freezes, or gets garbled, or the screen blanks. I guess they shouldn't have spent so much disk space on the intro music... (The PC version on the other side of the disk has no music and is broken from page 1.)

  5. Re:F18 Interceptor! by tttonyyy · · Score: 1 · on Top 10 'Most Influential' Amiga Games

    I think it might've been as late as 1988 when my brother and I had F18 interceptor networked on our amigas: head-to-head networked air combat flightsim, with excellent color, speed, and stereo sound, when a lot of people were still using black-and-white Macs that went 'beep'. My friends in college were literally unable to believe such things existed until they saw it. Oh yes! That game was cracking good fun. Used to take it in turns with a mate to see who could pull off the most outragous stunts, like touching the plane's belly in the sea without crashing, flying inverted under the bridges, or just taxiing it over a bridge. :)

    Very well designed game for the time, and impressive to play.
