'cause who'se gonna pay $80 for a ten year old game?  Heh, and none of that money goes to Interplay, they already got all their money they're gonna get from this unless they re-release it (unlikely, due to compatibility issues with XP)

I have my old FreeSpace TGW DVD that came with an old IBM Desktop.

Lucky you. I came to know about FreeSpace 2 only because I got the initial release of Descent 3 with a Compaq desktop. That's computer, sadly, has snuffed it, but I still have the 2 CDs!

The second CD had the FS2 Trailer in it.

[Zarathud]

I used to have 3 copies, but I gave 1 away years ago.  FS2 Space Sim of the Year Edition + Original Edition, along with FreeSpace 1 and Silent Threat.  Somewhere in storage is a Silent Threat poster.

You have a Silent Threat POSTER?

A promo item?

[Impact]

 i have 2 descent freespace boxes and one freespace 2 boxes simply because fs2 was sold with fs1 in bundle for about 5-10 euro.

i dont know why your copies are all so expensive. i look today on ebay and find fs1 and fs2 for 1-5 euros. but whats the point about this, just download it with fso. its not like the creator will get money for that, or the freespace god will be angry about you for downloading it and send the shivans after you.

[colecampbell666]

Um. People here aren't scared to download it illegally. 90% of us got it that way. (not me )

Writing extensively for the Descent Chronicles/Volition Watch, reviewing missions and teaching FRED had some benefits.   

I picked up the poster when I had the privilege of seeing FreeSpace 2 in beta at Volition's offices -- my jaw dropped when I saw the beam weapons.  And then I had to sign a NDA and gag myself for a few months.   

I remember trying SquadWars for the first time and lining up for a choice shot at a Volition designer and...pop...someone triggered a collision bug.  The shot passed directly through him, and we started writing down what actions we had been taking at the time.  While there was another tweak to the code, I had the chance to see the Summoner demo which unfortunately crashed (not their day, it seemed).

[Androgeos Exeunt]

It happens. Murphy's Law probably chose them to lay waste on that particular day.

Picture.  ASAP.

[Galemp]

It'll probably have a canonical high-res GTI logo on it.

I think I need to crawl through 10 years of debris in my attic to find it.  Give me some time.

I recall it being very similar to the GTD Orion image on the cover for the Silent Threat CD:

Play the Just Another Day campaigns and you`ll find how wrong you were... <_<

[Stormkeeper]

I wonder why the Orion on Silent Threat's cover looks like its firing blue beams, when beams didn't exist then.

[Droid803]

The Deimos in the cinematic at the end of FS2 uses blue beams and blue lasers as well.
And has side turrets.

When clearly, its supposed to be green beams and green lasers.

[Stormkeeper]

You know, I tried re-colouring the beams to become blue, but apparently I need to give them new textures or something too... Oh well.


Any word on that poster? I'm mildly interested, because tbh I've only ever seen a Descent box here in S'pore, and never any FS-related stuff.

[tifi]

I have original CDs for both FS1 and 2, however I've managed to break CD1 for FS1.
The box has those stupid 5-way 'petal' things holding the CDs by the hole in the middle and it wouldn't let go of it and it snapped in half 

[pecenipicek]

FS2 only here. nowadays i just download from turey's since its much less hassle that way. but the box is still awesome

You have to like press down in the middle of them... and, if they give you a hard time, you need to, once you (successfully) get the CD out, break one of the petals so this doesn't happen.
