Found a little gem of a game (spacesim)

[Heibges]

If you every played tabletop Battletech or Mechwarrior back in the day, Matrix games makes a game called "Titans of Steel: Warring Suns" which is exacly like it in every respect.

Great little game.

If you want a good space sim - check this out:

X2 The Threat

and

X3 Reounion

Wonderful games

Good, old Privateer, best spacesim I ever played.....

Planets landing, different missions, beautifull cockpits (with damage model inside)......
and MYSTERY, some SECRETS.................... lack of this in X2/X3..............no reason
to explore space in X series.

Best Regards

Never could get into #2. Played #1, but got tired of the fake physics and clutches to go from one area to the next. Got rich too fast making fuel too. Had a mini empire and after I got all the best stuf money could buy for my ship, the game was pointless and easy.

StarForce really killed any desire left for playing #2 and #3, even though I own a copy of #2.

I really en=joy the both X2 and X3, esp after patches and bonus packs. And no star force anymore.The Egosoft company released no dvd version of exe files

And X3 is still going strong.

but yeah, the physics should be much more sophisticated...

I second that!

I have IDWar II: EoC and I love it. "The Middle States" Mod (or whatever the new name is) looked very promassing that last time I looked. :hmm:

The only thing keeping me from playing it is my crummy old joystick.

Edit: http://www.torn-stars.com/ Home of IDWar 2 Mod "Torn Stars" Formally "The Middle States".

Was checki out first link to some game site and saw a pacific fighters and 3 IL2 expansion pks from X-1

Weren't they the same ones that did the number on SH-3 modders/


If so UBI lets them really get around.

What I'd REALLY like is a remake of "Tie Fighter" with the sort of graphics you see at the front end of "Empire at War"......


......Damn, I just drooled into my keYboARDzz34uyi #*(# 54.46667qyglksb.bzzzzt..

GWX team may be free after 1.04, so maybe between making a GWX4SH4 they can mod Tie Fighter

....Oh, you were just kidding

If you own TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance your in luck. Someone converted the TIE Fighter stoyline over to X-Wing Alliance a few years back...

But I don't have a link...

Oh and I played the Starshadder demo so much in the past two days I'm up to Commander with three decorations. aside for a couple of bugs its a lot of fun. I Just wish I had the money to buy the full game.

Maybe we should start a game sharing commitee of some sort, and when you're done with one of these old games, share your CD's with the next guy? I have so many old games that I couldn't count them all. I-War 2 is a definite game that should be shared is an example. Some of these other games look entertaining also.

Just a thought.

Already exists. Kind ole Safe-Keeper, before his Norwegian Operations adventure, was part of a team that ported TIE Fighter, including its and voice lines, to X-Wing Alliance. Download that, the Imperial theme (Imperial X-Wing Alliance, I think it's called), and the XWA Upgrade models. Your wish is hereby granted.
