Upgrade Your DOS Privateer 2 to Windows
OriginalTHP, #Wingnut regular, has been hard at
work creating an easy to apply Windows patch for DOS versions of Privateer 2:
The Darkening. The complete package includes Jonathan Scoobie's Privateer 2 Speed
Fix, OriginalTHP's custom launcher program (pictured below), and select
files from Privateer 2: Deluxe. By following the directions on his website, you can quickly have your own
auto-launching version of Privateer 2 for Windows up and running. OriginalTHP
has made this guestbook available for any comments on the patch.
To relieve his bandwidth, we've mirrored the file here. Check out his site for instructions.
Edit: Link to instructions has changed.

EuroGamer Reviews Prophecy Advance
The prominent European gaming website Eurogamer.net has recently posted its review of Prophecy Advance. Eurogamer gives the game a disappointing rating of 6 out of 10, citing problems with control, gameplay and an over-abundance of text. The positives of the review seem limited to the game's graphics, which, in the reviewer's opinion, Raylight has done a "sterling job" on.
We weren't particularly sure this was a genre that could be pulled off
at all well on the GBA for the very reasons that have been outlined above. Wing
Commander Prophecy is at times a wonderful effort and a tremendous tech demo
that kept us entertained for all of a couple of hours, but that's all it
eventually feels like - a tech demo. As a game, it's woefully shallow and it
left us wanting something more.
The complete review is available here.
