    I found a computer that will run Armada! but...

    Thanks, I'll have to try that out next time I'm home (where the computer is).

    I found a computer that will run Armada! but...

    I need to figure out how to get the mouse to work. It's been so long since I've tweaked with DOS shortcuts, that I'm not sure exactly how it's done. The system specs are: Pentium 200 Windows 98 CD-ROM drive 64MB RAM no sound card I installed Armada to the hard drive, ran Armada.exe...

    Scariest moment

    Ah yes, too true. I would have saved myself some trouble. Still, the dogfighting was good practice. Oh, and thanks for the name reminder (for Thrakhath). I started messing around with WC2 again yesterday, and it mentioned his name. I really need to play more often...

    Scariest moment

    I don't know how scary this was to me personally, but if I had actually been Blair, I would have been pretty freaked out. In the final mission of WC3 (winning path), before you get to the planet, I thought my cloaking shield would turn on automatically. Anyway, I reached this area of space...

    How are you keeping your space combat craving satisfied?

    I'm playing Wing Commander 4 (for the very first time...)

    Favorite Carrier

    The ol' BWS Intrepid was my favorite, due to the stellar accomodations.

    Now that the series has been announced what are you HOPING for?

    Well, all I care about is if they do this, they should release the season(s) on DVD a little later, like the X-Files is doing. That way you don't have to wait for re-runs to watch your favorite episodes again.

    Hell fuckin' yeah!

    Just so long as the Kilrathi don't like they did in the movie...:)

    Drinks in the Wing Commander Universe

    Well, perhaps the quality of 600 year old wine would be suspect. I really don't know much about it, not being a wine drinker myself. Of course, they could develop better preservation techniques in the near future.

    Marines Weapons

    Well, in X-Com, the lasers had unlimited ammo, which was nice. Of course, they couldn't compare to the Plasma weapons.

    Drinks in the Wing Commander Universe

    I could see some rich WC type serving 2001 Chardonnay to his guests. Aged to perfection, as they say.

    Why did you pick your name?

    I've used Icedagger for years, as my callsign in flight games, and my player name in others. I'm not exactly sure why I use it, but I guess when I thought it up, it sounded kind of sinister. I don't know. Now I'm starting to use the name Ragnarok (it's from Viking mythology) as my name in...

    Trouble with Wing Commander 3

    Oh well, I guess I'll just write a nasty letter to my Congressman about this (or maybe not). No big deal. I'll finish the game soon and move on to the greener pastures of Wing Commander 4. Thanks for all the help!

    A happy ending to a tragic story.........

    Woah, did you respond to my post already!? Anyway, it's an eMachines (i.e. cheap) Celeron 400. I have a post about it in Tech Support, so I don't want to drag the problem into this thread. If you have any brilliant ideas (or even semi-brilliant ones), feel free to check it out. It's called...

    Trouble with Wing Commander 3

    Come now, before I clicked this post, it said 416 people had viewed it. Surely someone can think of some brilliant idea (or at least console me in my grief). Oh well, I suppose if nothing else works, I can play it with sound this summer when I go home to my parent's house.

    A happy ending to a tragic story.........

    The sound on Wing Commander 3 DOS won't work on certain computers, namely mine. I think my computer's cursed. Most people seem to run it okay, though.

    Trouble with Wing Commander 3

    Well, sorry to bring up a mostly dead post, but I thought I would toss out this info on the sound situation. I took WC3 and 4 home with me this past weekend, just to test them on my parent's machine (a Pentium 233 running Windows 95). Well, 3 messed up on the sound tests, just like on my...

    I just got WC:4

    Don't worry, I was joking. I would never trade away the Kilrathi Saga if I had it.

    I just got WC:4

    I'll do a straight across trade: WC4, 2, and 1 for the Kilrathi Saga. That's 3 items for 1. Any takers?

    WC movie & errors

    Quarto: Wow, someone else who actually liked The Postman. I thought it was actually a very good movie, even if the critics (or most people, it seems) didn't like it.
