Boy, me too! I jumped out of my chair and said, "NO WAY!" I'm really looking forward to next season.

I thought the "randomness" of the levels was one of the game's strengths, not something that made the level layout terrible. Two principal environments (though others are added later in the game) would make sense if you think about it- inside the complex and outside on the surface of the...

I really looked forward to Doom3's release and bought it immediately after it hit the shelves. I dropped every other game I was playing and went after it like gangbusters. I truly enjoyed it, but can sympathize with what many of you have written. I thought the story could have been better...

I bought it Monday and have spent a little time experimenting with it. I like what I've seen thus far. The graphics are great, the sound is super, and the ground missions aren't as bad as I would have thought, having based that presumption on what some people have written about them. True, the...

That is exactly how I approached the games when I played them through for the very first time all of those years ago. I never thought twice about blasting Kilrathi- it was them or me, and I was usually out numbered, out gunned, and flying with a piss-poor wingman. So sad, too bad for the cats-...

Thanks for the tip RedDuke :cool: I got to play StarFox 64 for the first time at Christmas of 2002 on the Nintendo 64 belonging to the nephew of my then girlfriend. I was hooked after 5 minutes. We were at her parents house in Los Angeles for a week so I started getting up extra early to...

Years ago I got pulled over while driving an unregistered car I was working on. I was going to the car wash so I could steam clean the engine, only driving about 8 blocks from my house. A cop pulled in behind me at a stop light and I was written 4 tickets: registration, inspection sticker, city...

Interesting opinions from all of you. I use PCs and consoles for gaming with probably about a 50/50 split. In fact I am so much older than most of you guys that I had to use a console at first (Atari 2600 which I still have) because there really wasn't another affordable option! Currently I...

My cousin and I nearly freaked out when we saw WC in a Babbages in 1991. At the time I was the only one in my family to have a PC. We looked at the box, read all of the game's descriptions, and I just had to have it. Funny thing was that I had never heard of it. I randomly pulled it off of a...

I almost did that to get extra copies of the blueprints from WC for the Hornet, Scimitar, Raptor, and Rapier. After thinking about it I realized the copier at work would make exact duplicates, size and color. Now they are on the ceiling in my office above the WC shrine. :D

Hey, no worries. I've gotten so much help in these forums that when I think I see a chance to pass along something that has worked for me well, I jump at it. I've got to admit that I've stayed away from the whole DOSBox route because I've read about all of the headaches that other's have...

Suggestion: You might consider trying the Soundblaster 16 PCI Dolby 4.1. I got one new maybe a year ago off of Amazon.com. I was looking for a cheap "legacy" type card to put in my dedicated WC machine, a P166MHZ with Win95. It works great for KS, WCIV, Prophecy, Privateer 2, etc. Of course that...

I get nostalgic for the old stuff too sometimes. I‘ve talked about some of my Doom experiences in another thread here not too long ago. Playing cooperatively over a network was almost unheard of in 1992 or 1993 and it seemed then that it just couldn’t get any better than that. Before doing that...

I know how you feel. About 6 months ago I bought the PS versions of WC3 and 4 just because, well..... just because. They do look nice sitting on my Wing Commander "shrine" in my office, and I know I'll play them one day, if for no other reason than to experience a different twist on the Wing...

The autopilot "trick" has never worked for me, neither has going in guns blazing. Ramming Gratha is the only answer I've ever found. I knock out two Gratha as fast as I can- ram them then hammer them with full guns, missiles if necessary. Once you've got 2 destroyed it gets much easier- assuming...

Doom was revolutionary in its time. Anyone playing PC games back then who was more than 15 years old will tell you that today. I played several FPS during that era (Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, Corridor 7, Wolf 3D) and Doom had them all beat, hands down, absolutely no contest. I was 26 or so...

Oh yeah, no doubt. It is entertaining to read all of the thoughts posted in these threads about BSG, both the praises for and the knocks against the new show. Me? I've truly enjoyed it- the first time I've made it a point to be in front of a television regularly in I can't remember how long...

Both franchises have brought us some incredible entertainment in 30 plus years. Conversely, they've had their low points: Star Wars and those stupid Ewoks, Jar-Jar and 3PO's ridiculous antics in episodes I and II, those stupid Ewoks, the various television specials (Donnie and Marie???- ugh)...

I really like the show so far. That hour sure goes by in a hurry. By the way, I got distracted for about 10 seconds right in the middle of the dog fight and didn't get to see if Hot Dog got any kills. Did he bag any Cylons, or did Starbuck get all eight?

1) The attack on (and inside of) the second Death Star in ROTJ 2) Enterprise destroying the Bird of Prey in Star TreK VI (short, but really satisfying) 3) The trench run from ANH 4) The Battle of Hoth in ESB 5) Fighting the Borg Cube in First Contact
