Chicago Boy Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 I too have enjoyed Antietam And Gettysburg As well as Age of Rifles which I still feel is the best 19th Century all purpose game out there. The Steel Panther's series is still on the ole hard drive as well. Combat Mission has kept me busy for the last three weeks. I love this game.

JOCHEN PEIPER Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Well im still waiting for my copy of CM to arrive... currently though: Close Combat 2,3,4 Fifa soccer 2000 European Air War Age of Empires Rally Masters Championship Manager 3 GTA2 I can hardly wait for "SILENT HUNTER 2" to be released in Australia... by the way is there a "European Air War 2" ------------------ Quote.

*IX*Angela Deth Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Sadly not only is there not a European Air War 2, there never will be. Hasbro Interactive (who owns Microprose) in their infinite wisdom is getting out of the realistic simulator business altogether after the release of B-17 II. Their first action toward this end was to fire the entire Falcon 4.0 development staff right before Christmas last year. *IX*Angela Deth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCHEN PEIPER Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Well is there a "ACES OVER EUROPE 2" I read further back in this thread that someone has "AOE2" is this it... Frankly im sick of EAW. it has a crappy campaign, too darn repeditive... Oh if only "SILENT HUNTER 2" were out now,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Silent Hunter and X-COM were both great. I still play SH from time to time. I like Need For Speed-Porsche Unleashed. The cars actually handle somewhat realistically I think. ------------------ Smoker out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 I heard that Halo will ONLY appear on the X-box. It might come to the pc, but probably not now that Microsoft owns it. Also, if you have the machine for it (PIII), Deus Ex is a great game. Silent Hunter II should be coming out sometime around Christmas, that will be a cool game.

von Schalburg Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Well both Panzer Campaigns Smolensk and Normandy 44 is on my list, CC 1-4 also ranked pretty high. One of the great games I´m waithing for is Road to Moscow, looks like a real good game. Security is like oxygen, you tend not to notice it until you begin loosing it, but once that occurs there is nothing else you can think about. ------------------ In god we trust, the rest we monitor... von Schalburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzlehead Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 All I play currently is CM (ok ok I admit I sometimes jump onto a UT server, but only so I can yell "Ya like that?"). Since Mace fears CM and can't load it onto his computer (the frilly lace clogged his CD-ROM). We are playing a RPG version of M.U.L.E. without a gamemaster. It's awesome I'm a half-elf, cross dressing Wampuss hunter! Mace is pain at times 'cause he keeps trying to be a gender-neutral Wampuss instead of the drawven street walker/miner that he began as in the campaign. Basic game play is as follows, we argue a lot about who has the better character, till the pirates arrive and I sell Mace to them as interstellar boy-toy. Later, Muzzlehead PS No wampuss were actually hurt in the making of this post, though one Mace was seriously bruised. Kiss them Biceps Baby!

deanco Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Oh God, where do I start...anyway, I'm a total video game addict, and here are a few of my favorites : For the Atari 1040 : Flight Simulator (my first game) Captive M1 Tank Platoon Railroad Tycoon Civilization (I just want to meet Sid Meier and shake his hand...this man is a god to me) Red October (thats not the name but another Meier classic, a sub hunt game) Silent Hunter Microprose Golf probably some more but my memory is hazy... Then I got a PC, mainly for : Warcraft II Command and Conquer Later : Diablo (not 2, too derivative) Need for Speed 3 Rally Championship 2000 (the CM of driving games IMHO) Total Annihilation (for me, RTS is C&C -> TA -> AOE2) Caesar 3 Age of Empires 2 Need for Speed 5 Jagged Alliance 2 (what a great game!!!) Half-Life!! How could I forget Half-Life! If I've forgotten any, I'll edit my message later. Of course, ALL I play now is CM, and it has kinda ruined me for other games... if only CM weren't so GOOD! To finish, I'm a great believer in video game therapy for people who think too much, neurosis, etc. If you're planning your attack or whatever, you don't have time to think about the unpaid rent, or your colleague who hates you at work, or why your last girlfriend dumped you, etc etc etc. Note that video games don't SOLVE the problem, they just put it on hold, which, from an existential POV, is the same as solving it, if you follow me. Thanks to your suggestions I'm gonna look for Syndicate Wars again. It came out when I bought my PC but my 486 wouldn't run it. Also X-Com, somehow I missed this one. Later all!

Mark IV Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Peng: Perfect General was way ahead of its time, but wasn't it great? I loaded it on an old black and white Zeos laptop and flogged its AI like a rented mule on airplanes, in motel rooms, and even during the most boring meetings. When I finally saw it in color I couldn't believe my eyes at how visually lush the experience was. Of course now I realize that the lush was me, and that it was to computer game graphics what the cave paintings at Lascaux are to Vermeer, but I liked it (had the whole Perfect Trilogy, still on my shelf). The sand color hurt my eyes and my aversion to desert wars probably stems from that. I remember Kharkhov and Saipan as 2 of my favorite scenarios.

Bugger Stein Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Actually starting allover again with EAW. WOnderful game. And a bit of Enemy-Engaged-Comanche -Havoc. All time favvs Campaign series Battleground series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 My preferences run to realistic wargames, flight sims, and CRPGs. Here is what I have spent time with over the past 18 months or so: Combat Mission (best wargame I've ever seen) West Front Enemy Engaged: Comanche/Hokum EAW Falcon 4 (recent improvements make it a new game) Panzer Elite Baldur's Gate Fallout 2 System Shock 2 SWAT 3 This is just the recent cream of the crop. I've been playing good computer games since 1980. The game I'm waiting for most right now(besides CM2, of course) is "All American: the 82nd Airborne in Normandy."

Geier Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Before: Fallout (best intro movie ever) Flying Corps Red Baron 2/3D (I can't believe I decided to kick it after 2.5 years. No Voodoo in new sys.) Baldur's Gate (I still haven´t got around to finishing it, but hey, I'm a careful man) Stalingrad CC1+2 Championship Manager 3 (Soccer management) BattleZone (which was a cool innovative game) Now: CM and uh... yeah well CM. Will buy Baldurs Gate 2. Looking into Terminus. Will buy any Rowan coming Flight Sim. Will buy any new WW1 flight sim. Will, beyond any shadow of a doubt, buy Europa Universalis. Check out www.europa-universalis.com ------------------ Geier "The succesful execution of a well devised plan often looks like luck to saps."

dpr Posted August 6, 2000 Share Posted August 6, 2000 Harpoon (the original) Still play it occasionaly and consider it my all time favorite. It's always on my hard drive. Once you learned how everything worked there was nothing else like it, directing massive real-time air and naval forces over the entire North Atlantic. I can still remember getting chills when an inbound Backfire raid of 20+ suddenly appeared on my AWACS screen from an unexpected direction while I was heavily involved with another large raid. Great stuff! Hope Harpoon 4 is as good or better. Delta Force Loved the online battles. Great interface. Starcraft A classic. Command HQ Remember that one? Still fun. A friend and I do it once in a while modem to modem. A simple game with great strategy elements. Another classic. AV8B Harrier Ahead of it's time with the combined air and ground campaign. Yeager's Air Combat I played that one to death. Tanks! by Norm Kroger Advance to contact, fire, and maneuver classic. ------------------ Don Rose Proud father of 6-year-old Adam.
