Anyway, what the hell is Freespace2:Colossus?

A limited version of FS2 that was bundled with some joysticks.

How? What kind of version...?

Not sure if I can say it here... it was from an illegal game compilation (Twilight, IIRC). In order to have room on the CDs for other games, FS1 was stripped down of cutscenes and voice files (fortunately, FRED wasn't removed).

Sigh, I can't find my ST disc anywhere... wanted to view those additional videos...

FS1 discs are right here underneath the monitor, casing's long gone though. Yep, Descent: FreeSpace on the introduction video.

Mine was an FS1+ST/Descent 3 bundle.

I guess I got it because of D3, but tried FS1 anyhow and got hooked. And FRED was interesting to play with, although at the time I had no idea how to do directives LOL.

FS2 is impossible to find where I live, I reckon... unless you somehow get lucky and happen to spot it on some backburner ignored and tucked-away shelf in a game store (but even that won't happen now). No wonder nobody around me knows of this game and its modding potential (but then again, they're all the generic gamers and not modders... babied by the simplified console generation? I don't know).

And on that note... waaahhhh my D2 is missing too!!! No way to try D2X-XL now

"Fortunately, FRED wasn't removed"?

Was that compilation released with a magazine?

And you're allowed to talk about piracy etc, just not post links.

Still got Freespace 2 Colossus in perfect condition (can't say the same about the joystick it came with)

Blue Lion · **Reply #88 on:** May 30, 2008, 02:06:01 pm

Ok slight bumpage but I have both FS1 and 2, the folding cases and the boxes/manuals.

MrBig101 · **Reply #89 on:** May 31, 2008, 11:28:45 pm

FS1/Silent Threat jewel cases, and the FS1 Strategy guide? Hah

Androgeos Exeunt · **Reply #90 on:** June 15, 2008, 02:12:34 am

I used BitTorrent.

It took me a week to download all three CD images and SCP 3.6.5...then I realised that CD2 could only be burned through Alcohol 120% because it was 780+ MB.

jr2 · **Reply #91 on:** June 17, 2008, 01:30:32 am

ImgBurn, or enable overburning on your CD burning app. But I didn't think disc 2 was that large... Hmm. IDK, I used Daemon Tools to mount it from the Hard Disk as a virtual CD. Oh, and another good free CD-burning app is CDBurnerXP (supports audio CDs & stuff, requires MS .Net Framework 2.0 to operate. ImgBurn can also rip images (make an image from a CD or DVD), not sure about CDBXP. But both are free and I use both.) An alternative to Daemon Tools is Virtual CloneDrive, which I also use.

I have the original retail versions of both - almost 10 years old now

Volition treated us good...so I bought the real CDs of all FS seies.

Tempast · **Reply #94 on:** June 17, 2008, 09:29:41 pm

Oh yeah, I forgot that.

I mentioned a little about piracy on the Hamumu Forums and got a warning point. Maybe that's why I like HLP.

Mars · **Reply #97 on:** June 18, 2008, 12:46:11 am

I wouldn't go too in depth... but it's kind of well known that the majority of people didn't buy their CDs for freespace.

Kieve · **Reply #98 on:** June 18, 2008, 01:11:15 am

I used to. They came with the family's Gateway, along with MechWarrior 3, Quake III, and Unreal Tournament. (I was overwhelmed by levels of awesome previously unknown to me).

Sadly, I longed to share the experience, and loaned the disks to a buddy while in college.
...a month later, his apartment burned down.

Have I mentioned how very very glad I am you guys exist? XD

The HLP community wouldn't be this big or lively otherwise.
