I don't believe I just browsed 635 messages, and found no mention of Battlezone or BattlezoneII anywhere!
I have just finished playing BZ II, and it is breathtaking. The first Battlezone was just as good a few years ago. I mean, a lunar surface, a hovertank and some enemies... What more does one need?
As for multiplayer games that need porting... Half-Life (Opposing Force), but what about Starsiege Tribes? I'm not that good at fragging but a good cooperative teamplayer, and Tribes is the only game I've seen so far where this really makes a difference. No need to be an ace sniper or have Trinity-like reflexes if you can place devious traps or build awesome defenses! Seriously. Got to love it!
