Yep those college days of tournaments with Bill Walsh College Football (now known as NCAA College Football) playing in a round robin elimination was fun.

It all started for us at UAB in 1991 (our first year as a college football team) playing Madden in those tournaments. When Bill Walsh came out we had a blast and played for 12 hours straight. The first tournament was for a case of beer and in the time it took to play the tournament with 8 guys we consumed many more than that case.

Everything I know about air combat I learned from X-Wing and Tie Fighter.

Just curious how I can "hijack" my own thread I started when I was responding to Nifty.

Dead Man; The only Star Wars game I have not flown is X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter. But I have had it for a long time and I think

Well, I was actually referring to the games X-Wing AND TIE Fighter, both of which I wasted tons of time playing.  I do own X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter as well, but it made the HO jousting you see in AH look like child's play.  Those damn X-Wing weenies would always joust and run.

I played the TIE Fighter demo about 100 times before the game was actually releases here. Since that day I've finished the game 4 times. The other similar releases didnt even come close. X-Wing was cool and alliance was a bit dated. Boy oh boy do i remember some fun times in TIE Fighter.
Once you know what happens in that mission where other pilots try assassinate you its perfectly possible to line up the first coupla pilots and waste em even before they can move to attack. Hilarious.

I saw mention of X-Com. What great games. Except terror from the deep, that was a bit crap.

XvT was also a bit crap.

Thanks for the great memories . Looking forward to Jedi Knight 2!

Yep gavor I am looking forward to it also. I just hope it does not go the way of the last few Star Wars games and get crappy.

gavor, I know you didn't just dis da Lobsta Man and his Tasoth homies!  

The cargo ships and cruise liners were frickin' intense!   Open the door and one of those damned flying saucer things would be right there waiting on you...

I have to agree, terror from the deep was my favorite of the x-com series . I didn't care much for Apocalypse .

Off topic here Super Metroid is still my fav non pc game, even the sound track is awsome . I've been playing lately on emulator .

Lobster man! Gaaaaa. How impossible was it to kill him when he first turns up. No I wasnt a great terror fan, i enjoyed it to begin with but it got boring quickly.
Now apocalypse, there was some hard core destruction. Arm a few guys with heavy explosive stuff and let em rip. Why go looking for the aliens in the building when you can level the building !

Jedi Knight 2 is looking good cant wait for some more lightsabre action!
