also, if you actually own the game, you're perfectly within the law to download a disk image from a filesharing network. should be able to get it faster there than in the mail. (so long as you have broadband) -scheherazade

just thinking, (the literary argument, i suppose (how abandonware is valid as a term)) what do you call software that isn't for sale, and the IP owner (after aquiring whatever property-package from the inevitably today-defunct originating company, since it's been so many years) doesn't give a...

loaf << i'd pretty much equate the us sending forces, to the us equipping and funding someone else to do it. either way, there's always more involvement than the formal. also, I don't think it's that bad a thing. just pointing out instances where we've left an impression. there's a...

that would be a good way to go about it too. something like "ground control". maybe let there be production and research (or time based technology availability), but NOT under your control. -scheherazade

desert shield had un support (repel iraqi forces from kuwait) desert storm came right after without delay (attack iraq). some support pretty much came with it by inheritance. it was an unnecessary but 'pretty much everyone was ok with it' beat down of iraqi forces when they went back home...

just felt like making a tally of which wars/interventions since WWII the US was the aggressor/instigator. means : we attacked, rather than defended someone we overthrew someone (coup included) invasion we armed someone to fight for us not including : broke up a civil war we joined in after the...

I like those ideas. here's some more. a while back with the mmorpg concept for wcu, we were thinking that some players could play as commanders. they would basically use the map, and info about what is where, to play an armada sort of game. (undetermined aspect) : commander would have sole...

are you suggesting that the turn-based portion be moved to an RTS style, or the action portion be turned to an RTS style (or either/both)? IMHO you *could* do both reasonably well. turn based change : move the turn based to real time, but keep it map-graphics. have the ability to zoom in...

Frosty? <nudge> -scheherazade

VS hasn't spent all its energy in rendering effects. AI is scriptable end to end. you can script cockpit layouts end to end. you can customize the physics how you see fit. you can configure your jump-system styles you can easilly add and remove weapons from CSV text files, (in excel) you...

wow, another thread that degraded into VS bashing. vs is an engine that has gotten a lot of attention when it comes to features and 'generality'. you can do almost anything you want in it short of animations. (and will be more with the move to ogre3d) vs' problem isn't that it sucks...

loaf : "The claim was (and still is) that Japan did not offer a formal surrender after the first bombing. That much is true." yes, but there is more to it than 'no formal surrender' (more grayish) they were in the process of negotiating surrender via russia. july 10, emperor asks russia to...

japanese : blockaded out of resources (using pine sap to improvise gasoline) airforce - gone navy - gone army - some on home islands not having any way to strike out, they weren't any danger to anyone. nevertheless, they had not surrendered. (note : japanese had already accepted all...

pacific strike :) <rant> only got half way through that. what got me was that it came out after strike commander, and didn't have svga graphics. after playing SC, it just bothered me. </rant> -scheherazade

going back to the olden days before spirit was around, there was a mmorpg sort of concept for WCU. In this multiplayer mode, all people together had the ability to change history. The server would have the option to reset time at the end of some cycle, and restart the game. (possibly...

ya, hellcat tells me you've got quite a feature request list :P. the game definately 'feels' much improved. it's not always easy to tell what is from where since the base engine gets an upgrade and everyone inherits it, not just who needed it. you deserve some flowers :). you've kept your...

My 2 cents. (Being only a ghost on this forum, I may have missed some things. Appologies up front if needed.) Gemini gold and Privateer remake are not in any competition. Gemini gold is a 'purist' version of Privateer remake. The projects in a sense depend on each other, since PR development...

i hope it cost well under 50 bucks. cause if it was anything over 35, you might as well have gotten a 500va UPS ($50). +a vanilla $5 strip for just more sockets. -scheherazade

For me the movie was a victim of the typical game-based-movie. Thoughts of those involved in architecting the movie : "Hey, this game is AWESOME." "Ya, I know, It's so cool. I love everything about it. There should really be a movie about this." ... "Let's make a movie!" "Ya!" ...
