Mayhem Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Just to let you all know Good Old Games has a promo now on several old games for 2.99 US a piece including both Descent 1 + 2 together or Descent 3 http://www.gog.com/en/catalogue/#action=addtocart&addedid=addtocart_descent_1_descent_2 . Descent 2 was my favorite personally. There is also a mod project for it called D2X-XL http://www.descent2.de/ that enhances the game. Just thought I'd put it out there. You might want to check out Freespace 2 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 That's spooky! I just recently dug out my old Tie Fighter's Collector's CD (designed originally for MS-DOS) from my old games box and found out that you can patch it up with a new mod that GREATLY improves the graphics... http://www.darksaber...tpacktftc2.html http://www.xwaupgrade.com/ Totally awesome to play this old fave of mine with outstanding graphics. There's even a hex edit to get it to run at today's resolutions too. This is my fave 'bird' of all time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Speaking of fighting in space Freespace 2 has a very large and active community with many mods that greatly enhance the game. There is a Star Wars mod for it too. And speaking of Star Wars I never played X-wind alliance but I'd like to pick it up somewhere if I could.

Jediteo Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 X-wing Alliance is one of the best games of all time. I just friggin' love the X-wing series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted June 28, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Old games.. Wing Commander was one of my favourites. Remembering the copy protection they implemented, asking wat word x on line y on page z in the manual was. My photocopy got well ragged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Greyknight fell into the EVE Online abyss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 When I saw this, I thought we would be talking about games like Marbles and Mumbley-Peg. Games that were played outside in the sun and fresh air, using marbles and knives. I’m showing my age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 This what you meant Tribunus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 EXACTLY Like jet aircraft, these new fangled computer games are just a passing Fad. Soon we’ll be back to a world filled with real airplanes with propellers, and the wonderful throaty ROAR of real aircraft engines. Plus, we will once again enjoy healthy outdoor recreational activities in the sunshine and fresh air. Archery and Rifle shooting come immediately to mind. Four hours of practice each Sunday after Church Parade, will do wonders for the country. It’s good to see you here again Mate. I hope that all is well with you and your family.

Snacko Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 GK, are you still playing EVE, or is that Infinity Universe out yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 ~S~ you two! It went like this Snacko... IL-2 Warhammer Online LOTRO Eve Online Champions Online DCS: Black Shark Half Life 2 Portal Mass Effect 2 RIFT (beta) KOTOR 1 KOTOR 2 Assassin's Creed Assassin's Creed II Aliens V Predators BEEP Minecraft TIE Fighter Magic The Gathering; Planeswalkers Team Fortress 2 So that's me at the moment, LOVING Team Fortress 2. Anyone else play it? It's free on Steam now and I can't stop laughing when I play it. Great sense of humour in this game. Normally I can't stand 1st person FPS, since they're swamped with cheating teens running hacks and auto-aim shit. But TF2 is great fun.

Kira Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 When I saw this, I thought we would be talking about games like Marbles and Mumbley-Peg. Games that were played outside in the sun and fresh air, using marbles and knives. I’m showing my age. Do you honestly believe that today's Big Bad World aphobic parents would let their children play with such toys? Marbles to choke on, knives to cut themselves to ribbons with, arrows to hole themselves with and guns to shoot themselves with??? Seriously, parent's aren't what they used to be, never mind the children. They're as tough as ever. They just aren't given a chance to prove it.
