I AM HAPPY! that made my day rock on JA3

what are the specs 4 the game i cant find them anywhere

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m...y= mini review of someone who played it, details more on the whole soldiers dont die controversy and clears it up

OK, but when can i buy it in the UK?

busy with my own business m8, cant remember what free time is (partially the fault on gears of war on the 360 i must admit!)

YOU BARSTEWARD THAT TOTALLY HAD ME GOING FOR A SECOND THERE (check the date folks)

was this demo not out a year or so ago?

Mmmm, that article has the wrong "Old" Alliance pics from development team 1, thats not what Alliance looked like by its cancellation.

DAMN BLAST AND F-ING HELL That demo was bloody good, somebody take their families hostage and make them complete the thing......please

Wow that looks pure Enforcer, which most X-Com fans wouldn't give a chance (unfortunately).

Hey folks, anybody played this yet?

shocking. i mean, Civilisation 4 is turn based, you dont see people moaning about that !

Surprising, thought the 1st game had sold well.

why "against all odds"?

that link is very hard to find !

Eh? How have you seen the film? I didnt know it had been released in the western world yet???

WOW That looks frikkin awesome actually !!!

Sometimes when I'm feeling low or suicidal at the state of the crappy world we live in I think back to happier times, like when I was playing the original X-Com and i wish i could play it again. Then, i remember that technically i could but that it would probably be a betch to get going. Or would it? I have the game. But i'd likely need some patches, would I? And how would i slow the game down on my modern pc? Are there any good mods that would be worth adding? And was there a difficulty bug on this or was it TFTD? Seriously, how big a deal is it to get the game running these days?

*bump* we all want to know more!

Bah, you rookies have forgotten to include in this timeline the scenario from "Ultimate Civilization 2 - Classic Collection" in the "Fantastic Worlds" scenario, where X-Com forces have to do...something....been a long time...hmm, might have to reinstall this and check. All i can remember was how awful a cash-in it was!

Ah, its a very late one where you are storming a factory with a train behind and a lot of panzerkleins around. The online FAQs tell me the docs i need are in the upstairs offices, but theres no documents anywhere, and i dont feel i did so much damage as to have removed them all from the screen. Very frustrating, but i might just bite the bullet and load an earlier save methinks.

Ok, in a nutshell my problem is i want to finish the original Silent Storm. Like all good pc owners I have to reformat my hard drive once in a while so at this point all i have is the save games from the last time i played it, maybe a good year ago. Whacking the saves into the installed game aint hard, but thats not my problem. Problem is I installed SS a while ago, added my saves and was happily playing for a while until i realised i couldnt complete the level i was on! The documents i needed to collect were just not present whatsoever, which i convinced myself of with a lot of trial and error. My theory is that the copy on the install i took the saves FROM is a different version I'm putting the saves into. There's been at least two patches i think, so this is my problem. Everything else is fine, baddies etc. Just no documents where the online FAQs tell me they should be. Anyone know of a way to tell from maybe looking at the saves what version of the game they were from? Hope that made sense....!

Bizzarre the X-Com fanwork you can find on the web. Check out the X-Com Avatar Maker.

Interesting - what stage are you at in attempting to use these properties? Do you have an ongoing dialogue with anyone who currently has a say in the use of the properties?

Bloody hell its Detonate! Give me a shout mate if you want me to post you this stuff (cant remember if you have broadband etc). There is no movie as such, the guys gave it a go before realising how mental it would be to do, and 2 years later made this mockumentary about their efforts. I've only flicked through it so far but I've been impressed, looks like a lot of work went into it.
