I miss TA but that was Cave Dog... but Chris Taylor's new RTS is something that even I will play!

Oh man, TA was so fun. I also have TA Kingdoms, and the rare expansion pack for it. I was able to grab it at EB before they pulled it off their shelves. But yeah, supreme commander is looking quite nice.... also check out TA Spring. http://taspring.clan-sy.com/

Controls are a bit funky but its still cool.

Dayo, I happen to have a copy of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. And a burnt copy of Rogue Squadron, don't think the Rouge has multiplay. I used to have X-Wing Alliance, I am gonna get another one of those. Best game I have ever played in the flight simulation genre.

So is X-wing vs Tie any good? If so, I may search for a copy (may have to make a "free" purchase for this one though). I might even try some other flying games. I know Wal-mart tends to have a bunch that just come in a CD case but they're relatively cheap. I might try a couple and see if they're worth playing.

A quick Google search gave me this as the top link: http://www.download.com/X-Wing-vs-TIE-Fighter-demo/3000-7557_4-870385.html

It's the demo for the game. I'll have to give it a try sometime this week.

I have x-wing alliance.  It is the best star wars simulation created so far.  I even have the patch that made the super star destryer the correct size.

You can also fly the death star in that game to. You have to edit the files that contain all the various ships to make it work. Anyways I am hopefully and patiently waiting for my Alien vs Predator 2 to get done. That game has some sweet multiplayer options and scenarios. Since no one can figure out my question or lack of interest I will tell you what my mystery game is.

Aww hell i don't care both those games are so dated. graphics are ugly by todays standards.  I think you guys should play civ4 I know a few were playing at the 150 and having a good time at it.  BF2142 will be out by the lan.

Alright, downloaded the demo last night and installed it. When I got to the place that showed all the controls for the game, I hit exit. WTF?! There must have been 100 different commands to use!!! It's like every key on the keyboard had a use, then a shift-use, then an alt-use! Yeah, I want something a little more simple than that :P

I remember playing the original dune on sega.  If I am not mistaken the last game made by westwood was C&C Generals, but it could also be C&C Renegade.


The latest game in the series is Generals (and the expansion Zero Hour) .Renegade is their first person shooter which is HORRIBLE IMO and came out just after RA2: Yuri's Revenge.

8 of us played at the Harrisburg land and rather enjoyed ourselves!
