I learned how to network so we could play wing commander head to head! Was 10baseT with terminator cables and all. Mom was pissed case we ran the cable through the house and dad drilled a hole in office floor to connect to other pc in den!

I actually loved wing commander armada the tactical turn based, then jump in and shoot during the encounters.

I think Privateer, MMO, would rock, but alas, Origin sold out so we shall see no more of it they kept the rights and closed it down, sniff.

Zandorph (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))Anyone remember when Wing Commander came out, it was seven 3 1/2s. Biggest game ever. lol


Yes I do...it was HUGE!

And then Wing Commander 2,3 and 4 came out. 4 was 5 CD-Rs if I recall correctly. (lots of cinematics).

Awesome game....shame there's no privateer MMO (jumpgate?). I could do with another Wing Commander sequel, Mark Hamill and all!

Yes it was, spent countless hours playing that game and now I spend countless hours working for the guy that wrote it. Scary.

Yep, Bard's Tale was awesome. There was a turn based RPG on the Com 64 but I cant remember. Elite was awesome too. Although it was not turn based. Anyone remember when Wing Commander came out, it was seven 3 1/2s. Biggest game ever. lol

Felysta Sandorn (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))Oh, and I just remembered another one - Eye Of The Beholder! That MUST count! :lol:

Eye of the Beholder was a cheap knock off of Dungeon Master (AMIGA), which was my second RPG. First was Bard's Tale, anyone remember that one? My favorite RPG of all was Star Control 2, simply the best time I had in a single player game by leaps and bounds. I played it through a second time with Heather years later and even she enjoyed it!

Technically, I'm neglecting text based RPGs: Zork, Moria, and Castle. I believe Moria was the first computer RPG, I want to say I played it in the early 1980's on Dec Alpha Mainframe.

And the correct answer to:
Saltire (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))You are in a green field facing south, to the east is a paved road, to the west is a large rock, to the north is a city gate.

What do you want to do?
Sirex (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))I would like to walk north to the city gate.
Is:
Zork (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))You can't do that.

Zedra was another Addiction as well


Don't you mean Zelda!

Hooray! I finally did it! I played The Legend of Link or Zelda or something on the NES fooking ages go as well, I think that'll count!

Ultima 7 was amazing! Though the storyline about how the bloke was playing games then found a portal outside and became your character was a bit crap...

Fuck me... Geoffrey, Dupret, and Iolo! I want to play that game again! :lol:
