That would be huge, also some other sega classics like wonderboy or space harrier. if sega was wise they would move a lot of the classic genesis games over for cheap. I'd pay 3 or 4 bucks to be able to replay some of those.
I mean even to people who LIKE technology AND work in networking, how much news relevant to networking could there possibly be in one day? I understand the desire for DoS warnings to be sent and investigated, or even reporting on trade shows...but 24/7?
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned any flight sims, while they arent ever meant to inspire the same kind of emotion through direct stimulus, some of the most intense gaming expierences I have ever had have been wrapped around flight sims.
My game of choice in that Genere is one of the newer versions of Falcon 4.0. first off, in order to be able to play falcon with any level of skill you have to spend some serious time getting to understand not only the avionics of the aircraft you are flying but also the layout of your partiuclar stick and throttle. This takes time and honestly makes sure that if you are playing this game you are comitted. Years into playing falcon I went out and bought the most high end joystick available (thrustmaster Cougar) which of course forced me to relearn a large portion of how I play the game.
Long story short, I hooked up with an online squad, 8 of us go to bomb a missle site and airstrip in central Iraq. We lose one man on take off, the 7 of us fly about 500 feet above the sand in formation to the target area, 40 miles out we split then each 2 man flight breaks off to attack thier respective targets. SAM's get two guys above the targets, but all bombs get dropped sucessfully. We now have 5 f-16's left and 6 MIGs just launched to intercept us on our way out. We are in terrible position due to our lack of altitude and less then ideal fuel status, flight our way through, lose 2 more pilots I get hit with some cannon fire and am having some avionics issues (all lights and HUD in the cockpit are gone). my wingman and I hit the desk and go full throttle to home base when what do we see in the distance??? A friendly four man flight of f-14s coming to clear our tails. They smoke the migs, I limp home land with 400lbs of fuel and no lights . All in, it took maybe 2 hours total to complete the mission but I honestly couldnt have had more fun gaming, playing such a techincal game with other live people was ablast.
my thoughts almost exactly, obviously these people were not playing 2nd edition rules or this never would have happened. Its actually AD&D 3rd editions fault for eliminating THAC0.
As long as you can remember that day, when it snowed and the black car.
Seriously though, I did like this game for about 4 hours, after that I was pretty much done with it.

that is a damn good post.
