The sad thing is, those wouldn't be enough floppies for the install.

LOL.. So how is the game in general. Have heard from both sides. Some say its amazing, some say it sucks completly. Small multiplayer, 6- 8 players or something. Worth looking into?

I can't stand deathmatch games anymore, i look for single player. Doom had a good single player game, a bit dark but just adds to the horror of it IMO.

I'd so give it a go.

It's worth downloading but not the $50 they are asking for it

and it's a wonder why so many gaming companies go out of business.

If you really beleive that something is worth downloading but not worth paying for  "then I do belive you must be one of the most ingorent person on this planet. "

Im not real sure what an igorant person is....but I am confident you qualify:rofl

The release of Doom 3 encouraged me to reload Deus Ex on my machine.

The graphics are outstanding, the level of fear is instills is about the highest yet. But after playing for an hour or so each night for the first week and clearing 4-5 levels I have not fired it up again in days.

Ditto Edbert.

I wonder if Skuzzy is driving a F50?

Creamo I am talking smaller gaming companies that have great concepts for a niche market like say flight sims or racing sims where the company does not make much profit. Can we say spectrum holobyte or microprose. These smaller companies need the profits from selling there game to stay in the business and make cooler games.

So pretty much your saying that if the company is rich why not steal from them because they have money to burn? great job there buddy

Picture HTC, if people found a way to hack the game and play without paying...same idea.

Shelby AC Cobra 427 would be first choice.
Ford GT would be second choice.
Porsche Carrera GT would be next.
Lamborghini Countach and/or the new Gallardo
Mini-Cooper GT would be last.

My favorite Ferrari is the Maranello, but for classic Ferrari, it would be the 308GTB.
My favorite Corvette is the 1958 model.
My favorite Thunderbird is the 1957 model.

I would own all of the above, if I could afford it, but until then, I'll stick with the old Infinity I30 I drive right now.

So there is no little yellow 80's Civic full of puterparts in your driveway? :)

Nope, I have the I30, and the wife has a Volvo S60.  My son had a Honda Civic DX Coupe.  Sold it when he went into the Air Force to the neighbor's son across the street from us.
The car got totalled about a week later.

The house is full or puterparts.  We have 6 computers in our office at home, plus 4 more in the closet.  Extra parts abound.  I could probably build two more from the spare parts I have.

I did...  very disappointing.  The world struck me as unrealistic, the volumetric lighting was half baked, and the levels were too small.

Sounds good. no idea what that I30 is really, but the s60 is a good car.

still time for you to get that civic tho, you are still a "young" man :)

Post by: Skuzzy on August 13, 2004, 01:27:07 PM
The I30 was from Infinity and based on the Nissan Maxima.  Mine used to be the wife's (1996 model) and when it got a bit long in the tooth we got her the new S60.
She needs a nice car as she is an interior designer and calls on high end clients.  The S60 is nice wihout being pretentious.

We are very happy with the S60.  Been a very nice car.   It is the most comfortable car we have ever driven.  On long trips it is a dream.

The only Honda-like car I would have is the Acura NSX (NXS??).

Heck, I don't really keep up with the Japanese attempts at sports cards much.  I give them a casual look once in a while these days.

Not to say there are not some nice cars there, but they lack character.  Hard to put into words.  You hot rodders that came up through the 60's, late 50's may know what I mean.

No station wagons allowed in the garage.  It is the sedan.

A friend and I had a discussion about foreign cars.


"Show me a toyota or a honda from the 70s. They were around, but where are they? In the scrap yard."

He owns a 78 Buick Regal in original blue paint, clean white interior, 70k miles, and its a daily driver.

I hate foreign cars, except BMW.
