1) Commodore 64 - 32K RAM, no HD, I think the processor ran at something like 1Mhz 2) Commodore Amiga - 512K RAM (which I expanded to 1Mb!), no HD. Processor ran at 7Mhz! (I think - or was it 14?) 3) PC - Pentium 166MMX, 32Mb RAM, 4Gb HD. CDrom, floopy, 15in monitor

Apologies to you Sir. I wasn't refering to "Top Gun" as the definitive source on what 'valid' callsigns should be. I was merely suggesting the pattern that callsigns always seem to follow and without spending a stupid amount of time thinking about it, I picked Top Gun as a quick example (aside...

Agreed so far, the suggested names are a little clunky. I can't imagine this dialogue happening: FC: Gorilla Ape, come in Gorilla Ape, this is Fusion Chamberlain. What's your status? GA: Fusion Chamberlain, I'm green for go. Over. FC: The Iron Milkshake....The Iron Milkshake, report...

Wing Commander 1 on the Amiga A500+ It had 1Mb of RAM and the game was on three 3 1/2inch disks that were double-density (700Kb). I remember when Commodore launched the A1200 (the nearest equiv to a PC in terms of speed and power) and I saw a demo of WC1 running on it. I wet myself throughly...

Ahhh, the good ol' days - I thought this clip was released during the Japan/Korea FIFA 2002 World Cup (soccer for all you sport-phobic people) - to highlight the potential of typical English hooliganism. Its funny because its true. :D

What would have been really cool is if you ended up on the other side in a weird amalgamation of your two ships - like a space-version of Jeff Goldblum out of 'The Fly'

ohmygod - the mother of all Burgers. Love it! I love the fact that the cheese slices make a p*ss-poor effort in covering the burger simply due to its woefully inadequate size. (burger:cheese ratio) :D

Ok - with that article and this...."UPN said that the prequel series will have produced a total of 98 episodes." That means that Enterprise is 2 episodes off syndication? - that's gotta be a bit of a bummer surely? - perhaps UPN will stick another 2 episodes onto it just to get it into...

In response to the article that the link above goes to.... If you get shot down.... "sonofa.....ejecting now sir!"

Car license plates in the UK are currently XXAB YYY where XX - 2 char code for the place the car was registered (eg, BO is Birmingham) A - either a 0 or a 5 to represent March or September (the month of registration) B - the last year digit - eg 4 = 2004, YYY - a 3 char code - purely to...

I thought that if you left your Christmas decorations up past Epiphany, you had bad luck for the year?

Yeah, but if "The Main Man" did supposedly have this epic space opera all planned out from the beginning as he constantly reminds us, then HE himself will have known that Luke and Leia were bro and sis when they kissed and could have made a remark about it on the DVD commentary, but did he? -...

I had a couple of dodgy mouse installation once in the past - wonder if these instructions help? **WARNING** Although it worked for my friends computer, it didn't work for me and I had to reinstall with a drivers disk. Right-click once on "My Computer" Select the "Hardware" tab Select the...

I've always liked Iceman and Bossman and Hunter from the ol' Tiger's Claw days. You know, the top guns of the ship. The Best of the best of the best of the best!

Try setting the video options to use D3D instead of Glide. (that's Direct3D).

LOL ...and there was I flying around, thinking that Maestro had said "We haven't been properly introduced. I'm Maestro, you're dead" :p Just kidding mate! - its a little difficult to hear the taunts clearly sometimes. :) I just remember playing Wing Commander 4 and getting really...

I too have a couple of Acer laptops with the usual recovery disk etc. I'd always thought that the reason they don't give you the actual Windows XP install disk was because they include the install on the recovery disk they give you and also, its configured up to install certain drivers...

I thought that was kinda the point of the game? - that you were thrown into this situation and you don't know what you need to do at the moment and by reacting with NCPs etc, you start putting the pieces together? Isn't this what the industry refers to as 'Emergent Gameplay'?

Good one! - Lt Sosa I believe? edit: ok, forgot about the actual helmswoman on the Intrepid - the one that holds onto what can only be described as a giant sink plunger.

Transformers OK - going to bump this thread because this is a Transformer type thing, but isn't related to Star Trek - but is too inconsequential to start a whole new thread all for its lonesome. Hope this is ok? In the UK at the moment, there is an advert for a Citroen C4 car. Nice to...
