Odd. I've never had an issue with it and I've only run it under XP.

Also SimTower's good for a laugh.

Jedi Outcast should also be in that time frame.

Not really a fan but I quite fancy SimCity. Is that the one where you can pick natural disasters, Godzilla attacks etc ?

MechCommander Gold.

Nah don't really like Jedi Outcast. Had that since it was new.
Mechcommander for sure but it doesn't come cheap on ebay etc

Got Quake2 and Half Life (plus Opp. Force & Blue Shift). Had Shogo since new but it has issues on my current hardware
Red Alert 2 I'll get eventually.

Had a fair dabble with Evil Genius and DK2. Pretty similar but I prefer DK2. Haven't tried AlphaCentauri or Giants yet.

Now playing Planescape:Torment. I really hate RPGs when they numerous threads/open-ends so I'll probably get bored again.

Still, Homeworld took about 7 attempts before I stuck with it......

Shame, but since it uses the Quake 2 engine I'm surprised it would have problems. It was probably one of the most underrated/ignored diamonds of its time, since it was unfortunately eclipsed by Half Life.


So what kind of issues does it have?

Will have to check as I haven't tried it for a while.
I cna recall a period review in Manga Mania that declared it a decent game but you would need a monster machine to run it at it's best.

Wolfenstein 3D


No, srsly! I still play this piece of s###. I still spend quite some time playing through the levels trying to find all the secret doors and things.

Dark Forces II and Jedi Outcast were phenomenal games, it's just a shame that Academy couldn't live up to them

HUUUUUUUUGE RED TEXT TO GRAB ATTENTION

Has anyone here tried Quake Live?

www.quakelive.com

This may seem almost spambottish, or shamefully advertising in nature, but it's essentially Quake 3 Multiplayer with new maps and features for FREE. And you play it in your browser.

I've been hooked on it for a while now, give it a try!
