    Rack 'Em (October 4, 2009)

    Amazing to see RLX blades almost 5 years after they've been bought by HP, but I know that The Planet has built their infrastructure around them since 04. Europe does have some pure "housing" data centers, where you can drop in your own infrastructure, and sometimes even mount it yourself in...

    If you haven't already done so, please take a look at the game guide in the main webpage for the CIC, maybe it clears things up a bit: https://www.wcnews.com/guides/wc1mcauliffe.shtml

    Cloning

    I am still chewing on the rather elegant word "bio-convergence" in the Encyclopedia quote from above. The genetic template approach only means that they stole a bit of Blair & Co.'s DNA, replanted it into an egg cell and grew people the normal way, reminiscent of the controlled-breeding ideas in...

    Privateer: Ascii Sector v0.6.6.1 released!

    Apart from the technical impressiveness of the game, I am always amazed how it works psychologically - since you can't see much, your imagination jumps in and supplies a better gaming experience than many high-end 3D graphical games do. Coming from Rogue-like games, this is the same effect...

    WCP SO install error

    Please look up the exact error description, it would be helpful. In general, the two things to look out for if installing WCSO on Vista seem to be to set the installer to campatibility mode (WCP/SO is a Win95 game), and to turn off User Access Control. Other issues seem the the *.tre files do...

    What Is The Acenet Pbm Archives New Url?

    Sorry for bumping the barn.. - but since I don't know Raptor on Facebook, I'd like to ask if there's any new status, 6 months later?

    Twitter

    Just created one for testing the effects of twitterfeed.com - and linked the CIC as feed into it. Let's see what happens. Oh yeah, guess my name - I'm not the creative type in that respect really...

    Wing Commander and Audio Books

    As a frequent consumer of audio books, I'd definitely like the idea and would be prepared to spend some money on it. So if you see a market, go for it - many of the people here will support you, and if it's quality work it will also attract some scifi geeks outside the community. Don't be...

    WC3 on Vista

    With that hardware, I'd throw Vista off of it as fast as I could and set up XP. But that's not the issue here. I suspect that the problem lies in your config file, probably in the drive definition. Please check the drive parameter possibilities in DOSbox Wiki and see what you've set up.

    Making the Game: Mission X10 (April 1, 2009)

    I am at smile, but ran out of hot dogs, can I turn back and land? Waiting for my box of ribbons. Gribba gribba gribba etc. ad nauseam.

    Burrows Gets a Facelift (December 2, 2008)

    Funny, this Burrows looks a lot older than the original. Or is it just me, a couple of years later? There definitely is something about the eyes - the ones in the original pic also had bigger irises. Hoenstly: Great job, Gemini folks. He may not be exactly the same guy, but the features are...

    Worst game ever played?

    Since nobody mentiones Battlecruiser Millenium yet, I won't either. So my vote goes to Sierra's Phantasmagoria - lame story, lame acting, requires split-millisecond reactions to reach the end. Bleh.

    Privateer 2 problem

    People, please look at the Tech Support and Files sections of the CIC. There's a full rundown of how to get the game running in DOSbox (for the DOS version), as well as several patches for different issues. You need to be prepared to do some reading and experimenting, but afterwards you have a...

    My Memory, is bit foggy.

    Escape Velocity Nova was released for PC in 2003, so there's a good chance you can still get it at half.com or ebay. Info, screenshots, links are here: http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/escape-velocity-nova

    Pagan: Ultima VIII - Signed Copy

    Checking the credits, I found no one with the initials L.B. or T.S. and a very short name (it's too short for Tobin Shelton). But maybe those credits are incomplete.
