I turned 32 this month and yes I remember Elite :) I have to admit that I was pretty young at the time it came out (saw it on BBC micro first and then on various othercomputers) but I was more into Yie Ar Kung Fu 2, Sabre Wulf and a certain game featuring a guywith a Jetpac;)

I had a copy for the ZX Spectrum +2 for a timeand then eventually Igot the sequel (Frontier) on my Amiga (and still have some where in the loft!) I have to say I prefered the sequel as I was pretty terrible on the original :( It would be a great game for a retro (updated) re-release imo.

Couldn't you just make those yourself by using explorer and making a short cut out of the app?Luminouslight
Good point :)

My problem with Vista and NWN2 is that it runs like c**p :( the animations get all jerky etc. My sys specs are fine...any suggestions other than "lose Vista" would be helpful :)

Just wondered...plz give your reasons why :) Thx.

My personal favourite is still Quake 1 :)

The game came out just after my daughter was born in 1996 and was the business at the time. Okeee YES Unreal came out shortly afterwards and kinda blew the Quake single player game away but IT [quake] was a pretty significant title when it launched and is still pretty good fun today :0 (just bit ugly hehe!)

Thx again :)

I hope I'm right in thinking this (but wish I was wrong also!) but Vanguard is pretty empty now :(

I played it from launch and it was (and still is) visually stunning. It plays well but I just lost interest with the level grind sry :(

Last time I logged in a (month or so ago) the RP server was pretty empty and lagged still :(

Hope you have more luck than I did.

Ya a new Mechwarrior games is WAY over due :( And the MMO setting would be great BUT imo it would need to be a hardcore MMO with severe consequences for losing battles otherwise what what would be the point?

Anyone else here find the deadzones on the analogue sticks terrible compared to the old PS2 sticks?

Particularly when playing GranTurismoHD I find that onc eyou pass halfway betweeen middle and the edge there's no more to give...it's not staggered evenly. Maybe it's my controller (my luck I guess!) but just wondered if others had found this with their games? Tends to be a right pain when playing other games too like resistance etc.

I'm just curious if you all would still buy the game if it got some bad reviews but it will still come with a headset?odin2019

Not sure tbh. I won't base my pruchase entirely on reviews but will decide whether the cost involved is worth it for an online only game. I've got BF2 and BF2142 and they don't get nearly enough attention for £25 products :(

Well Factor 5 have always made pretty good games (not amazing) but competent and enjoyable products so I can see this as being a 7.5 at least, maybe more if they've grown, who knows?

Still have hopes for this one, besdies, who the hell are EGM anyway?
