None, I play a new game about every month, plus if I could say one game, it would be almost insane.... but it would be Star Wars Commander... or something in the name area like that

Have you tried changing compatibility mode to Windows 95?

...I don't have windows 95

what are you talking about?

Do you have Windows XP? You can run programs in compatability mode. That way, if you're game worked on Windows 95 or 98, then you can tell compatability mode to run the game as if it was on Windows 95 or 98.

I don't know that much about compatability mode but you can always give it a try. My CM2 game works sometimes and it can't run on XP.

there is a compatibility mode in win2k, i think you need to run a certain command to unlock it, lemme have a look for it.

I would NOT suggest getting Diablo 2 now.

I has been horribly ruined by crackers and even the white hat hackers.

here's an old one: Subspace (or Continuum as it is supposed to be called now, although every1 still calls it subspace:p )

bit of a surprise that I'd be the first to bring it up, really..:shock:

still waiting for master of magic 2 :rolleyes:

Wahoo
22-10-2003, 04:40 PM
subspace is alright, but it's too much of a copy of games like infantry, which are brilliant.

sjaak
23-10-2003, 03:47 PM
what is infantry???? one week ago I had never heard of it and all of a sudden eeeevery1 starts talking about it! you're all driving me paranoid! :)

Mr_Moo
26-10-2003, 12:33 AM
mmm If i remember right, you need to pay to play Infantry now non? I got horribly addicted to it for a while when it was free, nothing quite like stomping around in a mech gunning buggers down. Ah well
