  1. Dead Cyborg

    I played the first level. For a one-developer, freeware game, it's pretty good. Which isn't saying much. :smug:

  2. Star Sentinel Tactics

    Hadn't heard of this - but apparently it's just been released. I live in hope for something approaching the quality of JA2 and XCOM, and I've been hoping for a long time. Anyone played it at all? http://www.matrixgames.com/products/394 ... el.Tactics

  3. King's Bounty Crossworlds - Sept 17

    Some people don't like these games, but a lot of strategy gamers like myself can't get enough of King's Bounty, so here's the third game in the series, Crossworlds. It's more of the same stuff really so if you didn't like it before, you won't like it now. You can preorder it on Gamersgate...

  4. Dune 2000

  5. I miss games like Starcon2 :(

    I miss Star Control 2 like nothing else. :( Space Rangers 2 is the only thing that comes close - and ultimately the races and story aren't nearly as good. :cry:

  6. GOG.com sells Master of Orion 1+2 now

    Was going to post a thread about this. Yeah, I know I don't have to pay $6 for this, but I did anyway. I actually have 2 CD copies of MOO2 but I never bought MOO1 at all - played it excessively though. So I thought it'd be cool to own again. The wallpapers that come with this bundle are...

  7. Some thoughts on tower defence

    I have been playing Defense Grid quite a lot lately and I think it's a good game. Yes, the basic premise is totally retarded (as all tower defense games are, agreed) but there is a sense of atmosphere with the strange narrator computer thingy. Defense Grid has: - varied and interesting...

  8. Can anyone recommend some sci-fi themed games?

    Yeah I played Millennium about 2-3 years ago and I had a good time with it. The only thing that is really primitive is the fighter combat, which is retarded. But the exploration and base building is just as fun now as it was then. I've heard that Deuteros is a better game but I wasn't able to...

  9. Can anyone recommend some sci-fi themed games?

    Yep, I played Deutros using a Atari ST emulator (don't think there was ever a pc version). I preferred the prequel, Millennium 2.0 which takes me way back to 1988 or so and being 7 years of age. :P Had a quick look at some youtube clips for Distant Worlds and it looks pretty poor to me...

  10. Discuss your favorite game location

    The first major location in Sanitarium - the village. Fucking scary. I loved Fallout 2 from the moment I set foot in The Den. Vault City doesn't have the same atmosphere IMO, but not bad. Oh, and what's so good about Trine? I played it through and while it was moderately entertaining...

  11. Most addicting games?

    Most of mine have been mentioned here. I used to play MOO when I was about 13 by coming home from school and playing a whole game every night (large map probably). Went on for months. MOO II much the same. In 2004-5 I played JA2 solid for about two months - I mean 7-8 hours a day. And I...

  12. Poll time! Why do you like Fallout so much?

    Show me a game that holds a candle to JA2 combat. Such a game unfortunately doesn't exist. You can't expect this level of complexity in the combat in a non squad based game.

  13. Poll time! Why do you like Fallout so much?

    Certainly not Fallout 1. It's too small to need to write anything much down. One thing that gets forgotten a little in the Fallout vs Arcanum discussion is that the world in Arcanum is MUCH bigger, I'd say at least 5 times bigger. Locations are also bigger too. Compare The Hub to Tarant in...

  14. Poll time! Why do you like Fallout so much?

    The Scientology shit in Fallout 2 is shit, agreed. In fact there's a lot of stupid stuff in Fallout 2 (New Reno), but it's still an excellent game overall. No such genre-breaking stuff in Fallout 1, I don't think. I don't know who said there was a lot of strategy to the combat in Fallout...

  15. Poll time! Why do you like Fallout so much?

    This thread inspired me to crank up Fallout again, for only the second or maybe the third time ever. I actually came to Fallout via Arcanum, although in the end I do prefer Fallout 1/2 better. When I first played them in 2004-5 (missed the boat initially) I prefered Fallout 2. There was...
