I've got Starship Troopers, which is a Command & Conquer type game (based on the film) but it won't work on my PC - I can't see the menu.

I got it a month or so ago.

Anyone want to swap it for another game?

Fuck me this is a nice idea for a website...

Design brain whirring

I've got Medieval Total War and it keeps crashing...you want that?
Posted by jlittle, 13:50, 28th October 2003:
 
Not that much of a nice idea - it would requier a lot of legal work.

"I've got Medieval Total War and it keeps crashing...you want that?"

GIMME! I LOVED Shogun: Total War and im a realtime strategy nut (i made a small strategy game demo for my final year project at uni)

Would you consider selling it?
Posted by gobbo, 14:20, 28th October 2003:
 
of course Grim... gets first dibs, he started the thread :D
Posted by ilovebeerme, 14:35, 28th October 2003:
 
that sucks that it keeps crashing foghorn! Can your machine handle it? Check the website for patches. It's too good to give up on.

gobbo: so, you going to send us all a copy of your uni game?
Posted by gobbo, 15:40, 28th October 2003:
 
cal: Hehehe, um it kinda sucks, cos i only had a few weeks to do it, im proud of it and i got a first class honours degree for it, but its still not what id consider to be "demo" quality - sorry :D

Email me your details!
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 16:13, 28th October 2003:
 
But what will I get in return? Cant take the C&C type game as Mrs Foggie would not be happy. So....

Offers?
Posted by Grim..., 16:22, 28th October 2003:

Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 16:25, 28th October 2003:

SWoS sucks ass.

BS, its amazing, not as good as Mega-Lo-Mania which is amazing and then Cannon Fodder, but still one of the best footy games ever...

And don't diss rimming till you have tried it Victor
Posted by Grim..., 12:12, 29th October 2003:
 
SWoS was very good, but bugged all the way to hell on the Amiga.

Amiga Power said it was the best Amiga game ever, and they MUST BE OBEYED.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 12:22, 29th October 2003:
 
We've had this discussion before. Sensible Soccer was good. SWOS was shite. (and Nishi, Went To France?)

Vics stupid.

Cal it is what westwood wanted to make generals as.

Posted by Victor Menendez, 13:05, 29th October 2003:

Cal: If you would like my game id be happy to send you one of my CDs i made as a demo for games/3d graphics companies to employ me (although none of them did so please dont laugh too hard at my pathetic attempts)

Beargod: Dude, thank you for your confidence in my abilities although I fear the CD i send to Cal is gonna be a huge let down now! :D

Chandler: Hohoho

Foghorn Leghorn: My starting bid is £10 for Medievil Total War :)

Grim...: I too have Starship Troopers and mine also crashes :D

Westwood Studios: Fear me for my revenge shall be absolute! Ha, then you'll wish you'd employed me and then whos gonna be laughing, hehe, not you matey boy...

I still stand by Megolomania as amazingly cool, and fun. I obeyed Amiga FOrmat, but I think both of thm were future anyywas.

Format was dull and boring, Power owned.

And yes, they were both owned by Future Publishing.
Posted by jlittle, 09:56, 31st October 2003:
 
Sul - do you still have your Southpark game?
Posted by Sul, 10:03, 31st October 2003:
 
Errrm the dodgeball game?
Posted by Mr.Nishi, 15:20, 31st October 2003:
 
No way format's hints and cheats were much better and their reviews hit it on the head with the games..
Posted by gobbo, 19:09, 3rd November 2003:
 
Foghorn: What happened about Medievil Total War in the end, you interested in selling still?
Posted by arsepuppy, 19:19, 3rd November 2003:
 
I think Foggie should do porn. He could do a film called "Foghorn's Sproghorn".
Posted by Grim..., 10:35, 4th November 2003:
 
(Little late here...)
Nishi! Lies!

Power's reviews oblitterated Formats every single time!
Plus you didn't have to wade through 30 pages of printer adverts to get to them...
Posted by gobbo, 10:36, 4th November 2003:
 
Dudes!

Trying to transact business here!

Foggie? :D

Yeah, the one you did in VB.

It might be on a floppy somewhere in the loft at my parents gaff. It was a bit crap if I'm honest with myself.

I liked it!¬
