dima Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 I am serious ! Is there anything out there coming close to CM ? 'Cause like me, quite many people descovered CM by accident: it is not sold in stores and it doesn't get 0.1% of publicity of that of say, Red Alert 2.

Mace Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Good question! I'd either be playing another wargame (eg westfront), or fiddling with military sims. And If I want a break from CM, I play Steel Beasts or Rogue Spear! Mace [This message has been edited by Mace (edited 11-22-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patboivin Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 I would be stuck playing what I played before CM, which was.... uh... I can't remember. Seriously, I can't remember!!! The last thing I played was Stonekeep, judging by the way my game boxes are piled up on my shelf here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundminen Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 I used to play Rogue Spear /Rainbow 6, until about a year ago. I would probably keep playing them if CM hadn't taken up all of my 1 hour per day of free time. I've been tempted to return to Air Warrior 3, but just haven't got the time to justify the monthly charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 That is a hard question. Currently, the only other game CDs that I have handy are Baldur's Gate II and Klingon Academy, but I definately play a LOT more of CM than I do the other two games combined. I'm away from home right now, down in bayou country and I'm having withdrawal symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinCheng+ Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 ASL aka Advanced Squad Leader. A squad level board game from Avalon Hill. Complex, very complex. I steal the line hehe OTOH, there are a number of screnaroes coverted from SL/ASL to CM, make sure to check out: http://www.asl2cm.com BTT, I was thinking playing Thief Gold/Thief 2. I finished Vampire and Dues Ex before CM comes in (thank god they are both excellent RPG in 2000 ). And now, we have BG2. So these games are not quite installed -- yet: Heavy Metal FAKK 2 Half-life Counter-strike Grand Prix 3 Flanker 2.03 patch Rainbow 6 Rogue Spear Urban Ops Championship Manager 3 00/01 season Worse, these great things are coming: No One Lives Forever Starfleet Command 2: Empires at War Harpoon IV Oni Rainbow Six Covert Ops Essential Panzer Campaign 3 (added) A permanent girlfriend -- at last.

Juju Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 It Has? Where? Where? I'll go look for it tomorrow. What else? BG II, Jagged Alliance (Unfinished Business coming soon); Hidden and Dangerous (good one, that. Buggy as hell though); homeworld; Deus Ex. That sort of stuff. I open CM at least once a day, from the day I received it. Can't say that about any other game! ------------------ Der ver zwei peanuts, valking down der Strasse, and von vas...assaulted! peanut.

dima Posted November 23, 2000 Author Share Posted November 23, 2000 Right before I discovered CM, I tried Panzer General, Scorched Earth I think, and thought it was a great game. Now looking back and comparing them is like comparing bycicle and Porsche Boxter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The designer was the one for Talonsoft's Battleground series (sorry can't remember the name of that gentleman ). There is a quike take and an AAR on CGO.
