mcleodone: A good game! A pity that owners of the other games in this universe are not owning the rights of this
Or did they just forget about?
Cause as a small gift to easen the pain: The Earthsiege/Tribes games with the hercs are free now at
http://www.tribesuniverse.com/ PS: as i checked cyberstorm there was also a successor of cyberstorm, i never heard of it - was it also worthwhile?
No idea about the rights situation. Thanks for the link, I didn't know those games were for free now, great find. Earth Siege 2 is probably the best one from that list. It was the absolute upper end of what I could run on my 486. Mech Warrior 2 is pretty cool too, some fans are particular to one or the other but they're both great games. The closest thing to those classics we have here on GOG is the recently re-released [url=http://Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri ]Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri [/url], only remember playing the demo so I don't know if the game is good but it appears to be quite well liked among those who know the game.
As for CyberStorm 2: Corporate Wars, I never played that one and from what I heard it's not as good as the first game.
MissionForce: Cyberstorm is a cult classic and generally well liked but has sunken into obscurity. It has a 16bit installer so you can't install the game on a 64bit OS. On a 32bit OS it supposedly works as a 32bit OS can handle 16bit Windows installers but a 64bit OS can only handle 32bit. Unfortunately, I have Win 7 64bit Home Premium which doesn't have XP mode, and I'm not even sure if XP mode works, at all. The only way to get this game to run seems to be a virtual Win 98 partition and if I'm desperate enough I'll just have to set that up myself but I'm hoping that GOG will come to the rescue and save lazy aging people from having to deal with PC systems from begone ages. I'm so lazy that I don't even use a Dosbox front end but mount the CD drive manually every time I play a game that requires you having the CD files somewhere on your HD or wherever. It would be much easier to just configure this once in a front end shell but laziness is a strange beast, making you do illogically strange things.
