Am I the only one that remembers HTC’s space game from way back when or am I having a flashback to something else?
-
Nope there was a space game, might have been WB era?

Very well could have been. I did switch to AH from WB as soon as it was available. Maybe Hitech wrote the code for the space game and that is where the confusion is on my part. That was decades ago. Anyway, it just popped in my head.

Yeah there was. Can't remember the name.
They had Dawn of Aces too, i.e. WWI
[Edit]
Planetary Raiders I think.

It was in the ICI days.
Pre-Wild Bill. ;)
Later renamed Raider Wars.

That’s it! Thanks for jogging my memory. Can’t believe it’s been about 30 years since I’ve got addicted to these types of games!

Seems like AOL killed everything they touched back then.
I started out on INN playing Red Barron. AOL eventually bought
it and it died.

The game was first built as "Planetary Raiders", sort of like an elite game but was changed to "Raider Wars" which was much more like Warbirds (WB).
Heres how it looks in software rendering mode (it supports 3D as well).

The only remnants of the space game in AH is the Yak3, with its unique resistance to damage :D

I mean if HTC did a reboot of that with current graphics and VR, I bet it would do at least as good a War Online: Pacific.
:cool:

Still runs, Windows 11.

That was fun creating that. iMagic pulling the plug was one of the reasons we parted ways.

And then you could have a troop transport with space marines latch on and laser a hole in the hull like the Portal game and fight your way to the bridge to capture the ship. ;)

There are a diehard small bunch of us who were totally into it back in the day. It was one of the most fun games i've ever played. Thank you for it! I don't blame you for leaving after they did that! Probably wouldn't be very popular today but back in the day it was something special.

I dunno.
Sounds kinda cool to me. Like a MP version of AH meets X-wing.
Imagine what you were playing in VR.

I’ll bet the arena server software is similar to warbirds/DOA software.
I miss DOA

Sounds cool to me as well. WW2 was so yesterday, but Aliens are today!!! In VR! Too cool! Eh, this is where good ideas come to die. Flamed, Scalped, Stepped On, Squashed, Railed and Flailed. Sounds like a Waffle House, Hash Brown order doesn't it? The BBS.........UNDEFEATED
