Whoa is that legal? Isn't that the kind of rationalizing the gaming/music industry opposes? Wouldn't they want you to go out and buy a replacement? Or are we only talking about old games that the owner doesn't care about?

Yeesh, and not get the game. Too bad, so sad.

I wonder - did the distribution rights pay for the lawyers fees involved in the negotiations? Like the full KS for $300+ on ebay or Privateer Deluxe? But I'm talking about OLD games, games that have a limited appeal in the current market. I suppose every company could hold out thinking that...

I was reading a magazine article on Napster where one of the author's arguments for supporting the service is that he cannot get certain old music because the company does not distribute them any more. He writes "(The songs) aren't on the market any longer, so who's income am I denying by...

Okay, maybe there should be "premanently free" and "only free for a short period of time". KS SM/SO is free - always was and always will be. WCP SO was free for only a limited time and must now be purchased through WCP Gold. And, I might be just a little bitter because I missed out on the free...

Don't forget the free SM and SO missions for Kilrathi Saga. I wouldn't count WCP/SO as free though, it was only free for a limited time and was added to WCP to produce WCP Gold right? KS SM/SO was always free and still is.

What's the benefit to helping/not helping the drunk at the bar in the beginning of the movie?

From the looks of the review that CGW magazine gave poor marketing and mission design weren't the only problem. I believe their word for it was "flacid". No story immersion. I have not played any game since the WC games that made me care about the characters in the story. WC had some kind of...

Rainman: You're not a pussy. While I enjoy "reasonable" time-limit missions in a game, I don't like it when their only function is to make a mission more difficult. If anyone has played I-War and remembers the "move the boxes through the doughnut" training mission you'll know what I mean by...

It seems as though the gaming genres go through high/low periods like everything else. Right now role-playing games seem to be the dominant one (Ultima, Baldurs, Torment, etc) with a large portion of the gaming industry trying to copy their success. Then there are the FPS games that are trying...

Are you talking about the flashpak decision? I thought that just changed the endgame (Good blair/Bad blair)?

Probably what 99% of all first-time players of the game did: replay the mission until they beat it. Besides that, the first mission "area" in WC1 was pretty easy you must admit. And, as redwolf noted, later games did not have as many branches as the original. That's kind of ironic from a...

I was wondering if there was a concensus (doubtful) on the multiple path game that the WC series uses. Personally, I like them a bit more linear than the one used in WC1/3. I go crazy trying to make sure I played each and every mission path and I hate to intentionally lose a mission just to go...

I'll ask although I'm sure the answer is no: So is there a Win95 patch for P2 (like there was with WC4)? While I'm at it, what was the rational for P2 being a DOS game? Wasn't it released some time after WC4 which had a Win95 patch?

I played both WC1 & 2 before playing WC3 and I wonder if they were trying to keep with the pattern - you know, play a bunch of missions leading to the BIG KILL.

I have SO1 for WC2. But I won't mention that SM1/2 and SO1/2 are a free download for Kilrathi Saga since you don't have it - whoops! :)

What problems?

BTW - When I first got WCP I blew through it in a couple of weeks and was so disappointed I returned it (COMPUsa had a VERY liberal return policy at the time). However, months later I was starting to think that I made a mistake but couldn't find it again. Then I happened upon a software bundle...

Man, you are a dreamer! I held my copy of KS up to my wife and told her that it was going for $300+ on ebay and she gave me a look that said "Why haven't you sold it yet, stupid!?" I don't know if I could ever give up any of my WC games - they're one of the (very) few games that I will dust off...

Yeah, only moderators are allowed to do that!
