"... but don't give a crap cause we are all in AH now"

I tend not to. The only time I ever feel the need to mention past or other game(s) is to make a point that I feel needs to be made by using an example of something from them.

However sometimes you don't know where you're going if you don't acknowlege or remember where you've been.

I find it fascinating how people tend to form groups, how they try to create a feeling of being part of something. It goes for nations, sports clubs, and now even for something like a computer game. Not a negative comment, just sharing my observation.

One could write a doctoral thesis on mental behavior just reading the BBS. We're all here the loners, the joiners, the paranoid, the schitzo as well as the various combinations of each. Only thing I've gathered is that it's all roadkill. If you want a real relationship with somebody get away from the computer.

Actually beegerite.. I have met a lot of people who play AH and WB before that and AW before that. I "keep in touch" with RW and it is a social thing. I have met a lot of people that I would not ordinarily have met.

What Lazs just said. You meet many people online and quite a number you end up calling "friend." While most are simply online aquaintences you're not so much "friends with" as you are "friendly towards" and you enjoy thier comeradery in the games environment. However some of these people do become real life friends and are folks you end up sharing with outside of AH (or AW. FA or WB's)

Something turned us all on to this genre, be it AOE, RBII, EAW, AW etc, etc.

It's the place where you had golden memories, your first love.

Difference is that some remember thier first love with affection, cognizant of her faults; others with contempt, because they had her and passed her around.

As in all things, it's a question of background.

Its only natural to compare Aces High to other sims you have been on.

Despite whatever areas of the game irk people (buffs, AI acks, radar, etc) Aces High is a damn good game.

I flew a lot of the Novalogic games (F22, F16, MiG29, etc) and Falcon 4. Its too bad Falcon 4 and its incredible complexity never worked in an easy online system like Novalogic or Aces High. Subsequent 3rd party development has added that (JetNet) but its too late. Most of the Falcon 4 flyers are cultish and hard to find. But, that's another story. On the other hand, the NovaLogic software is aimed to sell to LOTS of people, so anything complicated would kill sales. Check out how arcadish the Commanche 4 chopper game demo is. Start engine and start pulling the trigger. Sad but true. And I bet they will sell a lot of copies when they port it over for Xbox, PS2, etc

Aces High is fantastic...sure, we all have personal peeves with things we'd like to see fixed/added/removed. But overall, I love the game despite it all.
