Anyone remember PXO? I put so much work in back in the old 56K days. Surprising the game was as smooth as it was considering how poor our connections and computers were
Still, made for an amazing experience that I'll never forget. Playing with some great people, a handful of whom I've stayed in touch with over the years.
Made the 'pilot image' for a lot of players - I remember sitting screenshotting the lucifer exploding in the end-game movie, and then converting it for shockwave
Me and Hurricane put in countless games playing Unstoppable, each of us flying Valkyries, using the bug in the mission to send the two objective ships we had to protect home, then going to one of the three hiding spots on the capital ship - one killing the ship, and the other picking off manticores
Good times.
Anyone want to take a guess at how the rankings were hacked? (i.e. players that clearly shouldn't have had a score that high. I remember right before PXO shut down (i can't find it in archive.org) most of the top players had a dozen or less games played. Compared to others that (legitimately) had thousands.
Any guesses?
