Re: how many people own legit freespace cds?
I only ever had FreeSpace 2: Colossus. I was too young at the time to fully understand how to play well/correctly, but I loved it for its atmosphere. The only other computer game I'd played back then was Rogue Squadron, which is nowhere near as awesome.
That's exactly what I did. Exactly. Coincidentaly, the joystick I bought to play Rogue Squad came with FS2:C.

Whoa. Creepy. Incidentally, add me to your list of Canadians. (and your list of people the same age as you.)

No, I was just pointing out another creepy coincidence. Not that anyone actually keeps a list like that.

Re: how many people own legit freespace cds?
I got freespace 2 when it was out and I'm fairly sure I've got all the boxes and stuff somewhere.... :nervous:

That's my lot though; I'd buy anything freespace if I saw it but I never have  :blah:

Re: how many people own legit freespace cds?
Which version is this? It wasn't answered the last time I posted it, so I'm posting it again. It's got "FreeSpace 2: Colossus" written under the installation instructions, but it has all 30 missions.


 
Re: how many people own legit freespace cds?
I have FS1, ST and FS2 on CDs (German)

Also i've found a FS2 Multilanguage DVD Version with German, English and French on a jumble sale a few weeks ago. (i never know, that there was a multi-language release of this game?)

My english isn't very well, so sorry for a few mistakes.

Re: how many people own legit freespace cds?
I have two copies of FS1: the original release, and the re-release with the Silent Threat bonus disk (which I was lucky enough to find in an EBGames and purchased just for the expansion).  My FS2 copy is one of the Interplay 20th Anniversary prints that they shoveled out shortly before going belly-up; considering the price that FS2 was going for on eBay back then, $50 seemed like a huge bargain (and still does, in retrospect).  All of my disks are still in near-mint condition, thankfully enough.

Re: how many people own legit freespace cds?
$50.00 wow that's a lot... I figured out who ordered those 500 copies of FS2 we ran that nov in 2003 (I work in a PA disk factory - music/games/& cshells). It was probably Schoolpop.com, they were selling them online for like $15.00 a pop.

Re: how many people own legit freespace cds?
I got my copy of FS2 (normal version) as a Christmas present in 1999 (or 2000? I don't remember). I had problems with and old audio driver, but in a week I resolved that and played.

Later, I also "obtained" a stripped down version of FS1 without cutscenes, music, voice wavs and without the Silent Threat expansion.

Probably some OEM version.

But one such version should have music and voice wavs, at least...

Re: how many people own legit freespace cds?
I have all 3 CD's in paper cases with the quick start guide. As for what happened to the rest, i.e. the box, etc....
I was too young to remember. When I first saw FS2, I thought: "is that a game?"

Anyway, what the hell is Freespace2:Colossus?
