What game(s)/system(s) are you playing at the moment?

I'm playing Wario Land on GBA (nice game) and C&C Renegade (Had to stop due to small flu).

troop18546 13-03-2005 08:14 PM

I'm playing (now) "Motocross - The Force",

Stroggy 13-03-2005 08:26 PM

oh i've started playing quite a few games but none of them continuously.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth
Black Mirror (at first the slow pace and boring voiceacting got in the way but when i finally got into the game it crashed)
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II (replaying it as dark side and trying to complete everything)
Republic the Revolution (I don't understand why people didn't like this game, its extremely addictive)

I've completed Mafia about 3 times and I've done quite a few of the Free Ride Extreme mission, some of them are really fun (such as the sniper one) and the cars you get are just sweet.

Timpsi 13-03-2005 09:20 PM

Solidarnosc (trying to figure out how to get around the bug that makes the game stop responding to the orders), The Great Escape on Amstrad CPC emulator, the original Pirates!, and (like for the past 2,5 years) www.hattrick.org.

Well.The question is:Did you play AvP1?Did you enjoy it?From your answers depend if you will like AvP2...

TheVoid 13-03-2005 11:11 PM

The original Diablo :ok:
I personally find it much better than the second. Even tho it's obviously inferior in many aspects and way more limited. I just like it more.

Tom Henrik 14-03-2005 11:48 AM

Minesweeper. I LOVE the game.

My latest achivement :)

N17R0 14-03-2005 12:44 PM

Tom, you never fail to amaze me. O.O
As for me, I'm in a helpless addiction to Anarchy Online, and I have a feeling it isn't ending any time soon (also why I haven't been posting as much lately).

Rogue 14-03-2005 12:57 PM

If I'm correct, that is paid online game? (Subscription etc)

Do they offer free game too?

N17R0 14-03-2005 01:16 PM

Anarchy Online actually has a free membership you can get (with a freefull download of the game too). Check it at www.anarchy-online.com
I have all the expansions so I'm a paying member. :P

Rogue 14-03-2005 02:07 PM

Interesting. They talked about it at G4Tech TV.

After I'm done with WarioLand 4 (GBA) planning to finaly finish Metroid Fusion (Also GBA).

I have to start over as I'm almost at the end of the game, but have not all powers ups while fighting copy of samus. :blink: :angry: got killed so many times in that duel. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Fruit Pie Jones 14-03-2005 02:23 PM

I am, and will probably always be, playing Il-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles Ace Expansion Pack (long, unwieldy title for the greatest combat flightsim ever) on the PC. Are there any other air-combat simmers here?

I'm also playing Ultima 6, because I never finished it back in the day. In fact, I never owned it; I just played it on my best friend's PC.

Ioncannon 14-03-2005 03:01 PM

Playing Strong Hold: Cruisader while I wait for the FFXI servers to get out of maintence (1-2 more hours)

Danny252 14-03-2005 03:32 PM

Thief 2: The metal age on xp

Stroggy 14-03-2005 03:42 PM

Oh another game I was playing is Myst IV. I got quite far until I got a new computer and had to start over for the third time (first time my old computer crashed and all mys aves were gone) Now I still need to convince myself to replay all those dreadfull puzzles. I play Myst IV for the graphics and the story, I always feel great when I finish a Myst game, especially Myst III: Exile had a great effect on me.

DeathDude 14-03-2005 03:48 PM

Another game I've been playing has been Outlaws, just for fun to bring back the memories, although the cut-scenes I really enjoy to watch.

Unknown Hero 14-03-2005 05:46 PM

Right now, I'm playing Sokoban.

Usually I play Civ3:Conquests and Sensible Soccer (http://www.abandonia.com/game.php?ID=47).

I think I will soon install Call of Duty and Mafia to replay those wonderfull games of new age. (Call of Duty passed 3 and Mafia 1 time).

I think that minesweepwr works only in the small mode. Any bigger and it loses its charm and just gets boring, but in it's small mose it truely is a thing of beauty (plus my record is 24 seconds).

Partizanka 14-03-2005 10:30 PM

I played Europa 1400: The Guild for about 2 hours yesterday. Thats the longest I've spent playing a game at one time for almost a month. I probably should have chosen a better game to spend all that time on.

Yobor 14-03-2005 11:55 PM

I play Rome: Total War occasionally, but for now I am addicted to Runescape :-)

Got Warlords III and play that quite a bit too.
I've stared to play sacrifice too.......

Kon-Tiki 15-03-2005 12:00 AM

Nothing, except an occasional game for testing purposes the past few days. Working on making them more than playing them :bleh:

It works with VDMSound.

TheSmyth 15-03-2005 03:27 PM

Nope, VDM Sound isn't doing the job. If i run normally, the game loads and closes straight away. And with VDM Sound i get "bad command / filename".!!! :ranting:

Rogue 15-03-2005 03:48 PM

Than you got some other problems, as I was able to play game with VDMSound.

Burt Reynolds, or
Peter Tchaikofsky

Who knows what the outcome of Minesweeper challenge may be!!!!
Duumm Dummm Dummmm

*Diddle deedle doo*

Tom Henrik 16-03-2005 07:36 PM

Just a little warning to all of you who want to beat the record.

There is a bug in Minesweeper. Have you noticed that sometimes it takes the program a long time to change from 0 to 1 second? If you clear the board within that time (it is possible, my brother did it when we had a Minesweeper competition) your record will be deleted and you will have 999 secs as the best time.

So be careful ;)

Just had a little go at Beginner again. I've lost my touch, but hey. Here you go. :ok:

The Police Quest series. I only played the 1st one way back when. But never got a chance to play the others until I found you guys. :ok: Nostalgia. I love it. :)

This looks very scary though, as there are a lot of great RPG's here that I never got to play in the 'ol days. I now fear they will hook me to the computer for quite a while LOL. :)


As far as "current games" go, I've been playing Swat 3 (online) pretty frequently. Which got me reminiscing about 'ol Police Quest and that's how I found you guys. :)

mwuhahahaha the enemy stand no chance against my heavy cruisers, destroyers, cloaks and 50+ interceptors.. teehee

how do you beat the one which has a huge sphere of enemy destroyers?

wormpaul 18-03-2005 05:13 PM

Just to make sure you got more fighters :ok:

Danny252 18-03-2005 05:52 PM

uh? I cant even get past the kadesh missons ^^ I just skirmish! die pc.
and I believe I read somewhere use a rather expendable unit to draw some out at a time and kill (or salvage them according to this walkthrough, which is crazy about salvaging...)

Danny252 18-03-2005 06:06 PM

LOL once I had scouts harrasing my destroyers and heavy cruisers. they didn't last long after some ion cannons just sliced them up, literally! I killed the lot using ion cannons :blink: so much for them being anti-capital ships only... heavy cruisers = 4 ion cannons on turrets, but yet an ion cannon cruiser, a ship 1/2 of that size takes up most of itself with one ion cannon... LOL guess someone made an improvment ^^

TaloN 18-03-2005 06:29 PM

is homeworld abandoned? i had the demo once upon a time

Rogue 18-03-2005 06:45 PM

It is still on sale here. You can get it in couple of stores.

Wimp_Reaper 18-03-2005 06:55 PM

I'm currently playing Children of the Nile and Resident Evil 2 (both PC)

To Homeworld: there's also an Add-on called Cataclysm i think. It's good, too

Danny252 18-03-2005 07:04 PM

you think I dont know about cataclysm? you crazy? Homeworld is the one game I have always wanted! ever since I played the demo..
and yes, I believe it is still sold.
also there's a number 2

Rogue 18-03-2005 07:14 PM

Homeworld: Cataclysm is not the same game. It sells as separate product and you don't have to have a Homeworld to play it.

Danny252 18-03-2005 07:15 PM

but the storylines interconnect (I believe) But I've only played the demo of cataclysm

taikara 18-03-2005 07:32 PM

I'm debating playing Anarchy Online...

I used to play when it first came out, and free only makes things better...

FYI: I really don't play games much anymore, unless I'm sure I can be done with it in three days or less. I'm such an addict, once I start, I don't stop, especially if I have no one else around to keep me from going overboard.

I really want to, though... :cry:

Sean 18-03-2005 08:16 PM

I might download Anarchy Online... but id have 2 get bittorrent 1st =-/

Is it worth it?
(the download would take 1-2 hours and then the game might not work)

Also it would be quite a large chunk out of my monthly usuage limit....

taikara 18-03-2005 08:32 PM

It's pretty good, as MMORPGs go, but gets a bit repetative, the missions are basically the same thing, but in different locations. But, if you like hunting down nasties with a group of people, and having to be somewhat tactical about it, then it's worth a go :ok:

I used to love soloing and sneaking up on baddies using bugs in the system, hehe.

Also! Character creation rocks!

Edit: Don't try using bugs as a Doctor, though. My doctor class sucked at it. Nanotechs are good, though, especially as I had badazz duel wield pistols that would roXx0r j00, plus a bit o' nanotech "magic" to pull out of my non-existant hat.

On the main site, if you select to download from "German HTTP" then you don't need birtorrent, it's just an ordinary download..

Danny252 18-03-2005 09:22 PM

now, what sort of file size are we comtemplating here? complicated words, eek..

Sean 18-03-2005 10:49 PM

I think its around 350MBs?

Sean 18-03-2005 10:50 PM

Im Playing...

Hidden & Dangerous 2
(first day playing it and i already own most people on it ^^)

Havell 18-03-2005 11:00 PM

Nope it's almost 900megs (took me overnight to download it) but it is fun! I'm called Havell, I'm a level 4 Enforcer and I just upgraded my rifle.

Sean 18-03-2005 11:31 PM

900Megs... ill have 2 pick up a PC mag with it on CD then if i can!

Danny252 19-03-2005 07:30 AM

*calculates 900 megs in 64k time*
900 * 2 is 1800... divide that by 60 and you get...30!
so, that'd take me 30 hours? flip

Classic Pig 19-03-2005 10:50 AM

Playing? Games - y'all suck! I have no PC, Playstation, XBox, Nintendo etc! Life is a little boring :yawn: without a platform! Oh well - I will survive!

Sean 19-03-2005 10:54 AM

So your using a school computer?

Classic Pig 19-03-2005 10:56 AM

Nope - public library with free internet...

I love the UK!
LOL

Sean 19-03-2005 11:08 AM

I love the UK aswell.

Nope, it would take you more than that, your conection speed is in kilaBITS, not bytes, divide your connection speed by 8 to get it in kilabytes.

still playing AO :P
currently camping a boss spawn point as I type this.

Yobor 24-03-2005 12:54 PM

For some reason my Anarchy Online download is taking immesurable amounts of time. It only goes at up to 10k a second. I am very confused. Other downloads go up to 450k a second.

the server probably doesnt go faster than 10k! your connection can only go as fast as the thing you're connected to

Havell 24-03-2005 01:22 PM

It depends where you are downloading from, I got it from the German HTTP and it downloaded at 70k (normal speed for me).

Rogue 24-03-2005 02:34 PM

Playing Adventure Island (NES game)

Trying to finish game, but got stock at world 8-3 :blink:

Indeed hard game.

Mad-E-Fact 24-03-2005 05:11 PM

I just finished KOTOR2 yesterday. Nice storyline up to a certain point, then it went gradually downhill, concluding in the extremely disappointing ending. :/

troop18546 25-03-2005 03:21 PM

Well, 2 days ago I bought "Half Life 2", I still hate Counterstrike, but this game is really good, one thing though, even though the grafics are cranked up 2 times more than Doom3's it still doesnt get the full detail quality... :whistle:
(Here's a challenge for Doom3! :evil: )

Are there any decent systems for multiplayer AC? PBEM seems too slow...the game is usually so big I loose track of it if I stop for awhile.

Morbid_Pathologist 27-03-2005 01:45 PM

sigh...half life 2...great game...but i am not installing it again...steam....killed it...especially with dialup :angry:

anyway, im in the middle fo playing....


N - The Way Of The Ninja
Command And Conquer : Tiberian Dawn (Also making maps for it)
Crusader No Remorse (once my soundcard gets fixed, wheee, cheesy synth music!)
Morrowind (well, i finished it last year (both expansions) but im working with APEX on a mod for it


then theres the others, KOTOR2, i ripped it a few weeks ago, but i havent installed it yet, brothers in arms, played the first level, straight away, no chance, good thing i didnt pay for it.

but ive been spending more time hacking the school network with Auditor (an OS that runs off a CD), still no luck of finding out whether my old english teacher (shes in her 20's) has any home movies or not :cry:

Reup 27-03-2005 01:47 PM

MrBackAlleySka 27-03-2005 01:50 PM

Been playing Dune 1, and Baldur's Gate 2 ^^ However I ordered Planescape: Torment for $2.60 off amazon, so im just playing dune until I get it in the mail. (Which'll probabally be wednesday-thursday, considereing today is easter). But it's shipping as a duel-jewel with another game, Shadowgate...never heard of it. Is that any good? o.O (but ooh I can't wait to play Torment, I used to have it, got to Pharod and the disc broke....you know how it is, those mysterious cracks in the center of the disc with 1 crack that manages to crack a little too far.)

Chris 27-03-2005 02:17 PM

well... my most favourite game at the moment is called "Abandonia online".

It is a text-based website simulation featuring the adding and editing of reviews and news, providing of new abandongames and a forum, you can post and spam into with a steadily growing amount of other players answering your questions and so on...
To keep the game interesting there is some strange AI, called "Admins", which likes to interfere with the players actions and to change the game's parameters randomly.

It is entirely controlled by mouse and keyboard, with left-click to select links and right click for the copy and paste functions.

The grafics are ok for the time it was released and the sound is not existing. Nevertheless I rate this game with a straight 5, as you get into it very fast and may start to hang out with it for the whole day.

So take a look at www.abandonia.com, register at the forums and try to get your post-count up as fast as possible :D

Very true. When I started playing the game and it had all these cinematic events (like with the turrets at the start when you just reach the ebonhawk again) I thought the entire game would be like that... but after a while you can see they started rushing it (first half was really slow and deep while the second half was very very fast and disappointing)
For example you can see they left out some big quests and scenes, like the destruction of the HK droid factory and using the Mandalorian Battle Droid to enter the city (at first it was planned that the player actually uses it to destroy the turrets in the city while he's flying to the surface... but they scraped that too)


Anyway,
I'm now playing Act of War, Republic Commando and The Black Mirror.

i only play The Black Mirror sporadically because, while I do think its an entertaining and above all dark game, the acting is painstakingly slow and weak.

Act of War is good, its what C&C generals should have been, and republic commando is quite fun too (except for the sometimes annoying AI of the teammates)

DeathDude 27-03-2005 03:50 PM

I've been trying to get into Star Ocean for the snes, with translation patch and all, but it just doesn't seem to grow on me like other Final Fantasy games, and other rpg's that I've played.

Have you seen that thread on the Obsidian forums, where people posted all the dialogue that was apparently left in the files, but cut out from the game? It's really sad to see that the ending was actually meant to be much better, but was shortened due to time or money reasons or whatever.

2nd Deus Ex is cheap probably because it sold terribly, they have to get it off the shelves somehow.
