Give us the details of your PC so we have a better idea what you are trying to run it on: CPU speed and type, RAM, OS, GFX card, Sound Card. That sort of thing. The more the better. :) Go through the WC1 and WC2 dirs and set all the .exe's to Win98/ME compatibility mode. That worked well for...

I think this is a really good idea. Definitely copy the text into a single e-mail each though and each send it. That way EA will get thousands of e-mails, not just one with a petition attached. I like the text of your message, but will leave it to the experts here to define exactly what we'd...

Well they won't work in Dosbox because they are windows executables. :D Kilrathi Saga should run fine on any speed computer without any slow-down utilities. It runs absolutely fine on my PC and ran fine before I upgraded it recently. Must be something to do with the version you have. If...

Knight, if it's something you want to do it doesn't matter who else is interested. Just do it anyway. Looks like you are going to have to play all the way through the game to see all the cutscenes though, although the script of all the mission briefings are on the CIC, so you could always go...

Yeah, System Shock 2 really freaks me out. If anyone fancies replaying it, try the enhanced textures at http://shtup.home.att.net/ the "schock texture upgrade project". Get scared all over again, but people won't keep telling you "Doom3 looks so much better"! I remember getting goose-bumps...

Confed, I had the exact same problem. Same solution too. Configure the 2nd controller not the 1st then it works fine. :D I set the 1st controller to mouse and deselected keyboard, and then deselected mouse for controller 2 and set the keyboard up. Works a treat.

Also don't you think it looks a lot like the laser out of Die Another Day? What do you reckon, did some government scientist just watch that film and think: "Cool! I gotta make me one of those!". ?!?

Blimey - the F22 is an absolute bargain compared to the billions squandered on the Euro-Fighter, which is pretty much hated by most RAF pilots. As to the whole tank/machine-gun argument (and by the way, have you noticed how the Germans had all the cool toys in WWI and II but still lost?), IMO...

Howard, I am so glad you took Quarto's comments on board. It really looks like a rich play-toy but you are much more aware of it being functional now. Brilliant. My only criticism is it feels a bit too StarTrek for my liking. (unless that's the look you were going for). I'm wondering if that is...

I remember the first time I ever saw a Wing Commander game very clearly. It was my second day at University. 28th September 1993. I'd met a girl the first night and the next morning she introduced me to the people who had the rooms either side of hers. One had his own PC. I was pretty impressed...

Belgian fries with mayo. Definitely. One very nice thing - McD's in Europe (but not UK) serve beer. Also I always think in France you get a much nice quarterpounder (I mean Royale). I think they might use real meat. :D

My collection is getting pretty complete so I probably will buy it. Good for planes & trains as well. Is there a seperate thread on the multiplayer? How does it work - cooperative or deathmatch if you see what I mean? I'd go with most of that. You're going chronologically there aren't you...

Definitely. There are soooo many gba carts to pick up off ebay, and there's always old GB ones for peanuts! Roughly how much are GBA SPs retailing for in the US now? I want to know how bad a deal we get over here in the UK! I did read the helpfile. (amazing I know ;)) Just wondered if anyone...

Okay. I've started off with WC1 (using KS versions). I'm then going to do 2, 3 and 4. (Might need some help with the best command-line options for the WC4 windows patch). I'm probably going to skip Prophecy as I only just played it in the summer. Still haven't made up my mind whether to go...

Just to chuck another iron into the fire: On the cover art of WC Privateer, Perry has a number "05". If it get's a number it must have some kind of designation. Anyhow as there is only one ISS it seems a bit daft to call it ISS-1 or whatever. If they ever made a second it would be ISS-2, but...

Yes, but Wimpy tried to set themselves up in direct competition to McD's and call themselves fast-food. It'd be okay if they were just trying to be a restaurant or cafe or whatever, but they call themselves a fast-food place and take 1/2 hour to serve you your meal! Mind you even in McDonalds...

Just wondered if we should be saying TCSS Caernaven Station. After all we just call US Naval Stations by their location name. Like Guantanamo Bay for example. No one in the news ever refers to it as "US Naval Station Gunantanamo Bay". (That's just an example. I certainly don't want to kick off...

Prophecy is still awesome to look at. Those lovely Glide effects are the reason why I still have 2 Voodoo2's SLI'd inside my PC. I just let my nVidia card have a night off and go 3DFX. Yummy! Voodoo2's are very easy to get working in XP now if you are prepared to spend a bit of time. The cards...

In the UK we have something called "Wimpy" which does excellent burgers & fries. But you sit down, your order gets taken, your meal is brought to you on a proper plate. Hmmm. We've kinda missed the point of fast food haven't we? Mind you way out here in rural England fast food means hoping...

So would CSS mean Confederation Space Station? And are those two depots TCS meaning ship as in the HMS example from the UK? The only one I can remember having a specific mention rather than some kind of designation is Perry Naval Base from Priv, which is a bit non-specific for the military...
