Yeah. They (Global Star) did an great job of making it look like the actual game. I still have both cds in a stack somewhere and to this day, I put the wrong one in to install sometimes.
I skipped downloading and buying this game for two reasons.
Download: it's 5 cds.
Purchase: it's it's 5 f'n gigs installed.
Games trying to take up more and more space on my hdd(s) are making me not want any of them.
Used copies aren't a universal answer. Go into Electronic's Boutique's used PC game section sometime. Count how many games with online play have cdkeys in plain sight. It's a good bet that the person that sold that game back is still playing it with that cdkey, and probably a few others that have written those down.
However clearance games are where the action is at. I got a new copy of XIII for 6 dollars lastnight.
A couple of years ago I purchased the special edition of Serious Sam thinking it was the full version. The full version was like 5 dollars more I found out later. I was actually looking for the full one, so I guess croteam missed out on that one.
In Return To Castle Wolfenstein multiplayer, on the beach map, there are people at the start of the game run directly to the war room and hide. They then spend 30 minutes staring at doors while standing on file cabinet to protect the documents. They say the same as you do.
I guess I just play for fun, rather than winning.
(not to slam what you just said, because I agree with it)
That makes me think of some of the worst times playing Enemey Territory. Games where all of the people that hate playing Allies(attackers)join Axis(defenders). After a while, you end up with an Axis team that presses the Allies all the way to thier spawn point, and doesn't let them leave.
The reason I find humor in that, is they join the Axis so they don't have to attack, but end up doing nothing but attacking.
I recall a friend and I trying to figure it out. We ended up changing compatability modes back and forth to get the game installed, and then again to run it.
I'd like to see Edgar Rice-Burrough's series John Carter of Mars made into some kind of an rpg. It could even be a mmorpg the way how the books are set up with different races all over the planet, inside and out.
I half agree with you. I downloaded System Shock 2, loved it, but decided not to hunt down a copy. Considering it requires next to a miracle to get working on a modern machine.
It's amazing how many not so major games have the servers shut down within a year of the release, making mp games almost impossible.
No One Lives Forever 2 is great, but last I checked had 12 players.
Sanity, no central servers.
Both of which I got out of the bargain bin. That's just the price you pay for not buying them new I guess.
Tribes 1 has more servers running than most of the "lesser" games that are out and newer. A good example, is the No One Lives Forever 2 "community" all 8 people that were online last time I turned it on. RTCW has almost nobody playing it anymore compared to a while back. (probably ET's fault.)
Am I the only one that thought the idea of Collateral Romance was a fun one? Not to hide out in a building and chat, but to sneak to meet somebody and then try to sneak elsewhere. All while an online war is happening?
This was the first game I got for my brand new Sega Genesis. It was really boring, but the graphics were amazing compared to nes at the time.
Joust was wierd to me. Flying around on giant birds trying to kill other riders over the lava pit.
I don't know if this was already posted, more than likely it has been, I don't have the time to look for it right now.
Orrin Hatch's website was illegal.
They actually give tours of the area. The people making the game S.t.a.l.k.e.r have been there a few times, pictures are here.
sorry for the redundancy.

Everytime this guy does an interview, HL2 goes back a month/Alternatly it's not done because all he does is give interviews.
The 256 color systray patch was done a few years ago by Dr.Hoiby.

I see an awful lot of xbox and ps2 warez channels in irc. The people pirating xbox games are saying the same thing as you, only opposite.

Yeah, that controller blew for fighters. We had to buy adapters to use saturn controllers on DC. It was the only way to play Street Fighter 3.

I'll grab Tribes 2 for sure. I've eyeballed it dozens of times, knowing how much fun the first one is.

I couldn't agree more with this. The many are due for a comeback.
The game is based on that movie and the book.
I don't know if this was already posted, more than likely it has been, I don't have the time to look for it right now. Orrin Hatch's website was illegal.
Yeah, she means people were in them cleaning up the disaster.
After looking around, I found this site about tours of the exclusion zone.
One some sites, they say that there are cat fish in the lake around the plant that are large enough to swallow a loaf of bread whole.
They actually give tours of the area. The people making the game S.t.a.l.k.e.r have been there a few times, pictures are here. sorry for the redundancy.
