Hello There
Hi there. Last night while watching Return of the Jedi it reminded of one of the first games I had for my first pc (an epson 286, 640k ram and a huge 20mb hard drive), all I could remember was the name of some of the ships (epee, sabre, broadswoard and the Tiger's Claw). After some quick googling Wing Commander II was the name I had been looking for and this site popped up.
Several hours later I was playing WCII and getting killed since I didn't seem to be able to fire the cannons and ramming the enemy ships wasn't proving to be a succesful strategy! Maybe tonight once the little ones have gone to bed I might try to get a joystick (a PS3 one?) working on my PC with dosbox and I may have more success Looking forward to reminding myself of the good ol' days of gaming and finding some other familiar titles (ones of the top of my head that I used to love are the Monkey Island series, Gunship 2000, Indy 500, Dune II, Wolfenstein). |

When the little ones have gone to bed you shouldn't play games but make a new little one.

It usually takes people a lot longer to figure out where the name comes from! In fact at the moment I don't have any sheds At one point in my life I did indeed have 2 sheds, unlike Arthur "two sheds" Jackson who was merely thinking of getting a second shed.

Poor two sheds, just thought about a second shed and now no one will leave him alone. Can I call you Tim by the way. Thanks Timmy.
