It was just a little blurb about a revolutionary war game with a couple of old pics ( no mods even!) and I went online and ordered it the next day. Thanks.It was probably the same issue that turned me on to CMBO - "100 Greatest Games of All Time." Which would also explain why our member numbers are relatively close. I'd never played any war games, but figured if it was as good and revolutionary as they said it was I should give it a shot. They were right. I played the demo for about an hour before ordering my copy.</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than 380 soldiers were killed in that defence. Also Dutch troops prevented German Fallschirmjager from capturing key airports around The Hague and also stopped them from imprisoning the Queen. Not the most heroic battles maybe compared to others, but they are if one considers the state the Dutch army was in after the '30 depression period.

Gaylord Focker Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Though i bought the game long before the PC Gamer top 50 games issue, wich is a trend they can't seem to stop ...top 10 games of 2003, top 10 games that won't see the light of day ect...where was I? Oh yes, the point i was coming to is that there were some games on that top 50 list that i think CMBO should have beend ahead of. For example, Tribes, Beavis and Butt-Head, Worms series, No One Lives forever, Roller-Coaster Tycoon, UNreal Series, 1942 Pacific Air War, Star Control 2, Need for Speed series, Panzer General, NHL 2001,Tomb Raider, Age of Empires series, system Shock series, WarCraft series, Black and White,Quake series, Doom,C&C, Duke Nukem,MechWarrior2, Diablo series, and Star Craft.

trouserchili Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 just as an aside... anyone else notice the "without permission" thingie under the main body of text in the picture?

Let's face it, by and large computer gamers are a VERY weird bunch. We are probably fortunate that their fascination with what is on their screens at least keeps them off the streets and out of the affairs of decent people. Otherwise, we should surely be compelled to build more institutions for the criminally insane. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that it wasn't quite aligned with the rest of the text and wondered if the guy doing the scan hadn't had an attack of conscience and put that in himself. If he would care to come forward and clarify... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing so nefarious - it was just me having second thoughts about posting copy written material to a public forum. Obviously I did it anyway. It's one thing to credit your source, another to rip the source off entirely. Further details will be handled in the confessional this weekend.
