I got flatout 1 and 2 for $3.18 on gog yesterday. Can't wait to get some mods

[Luis Dias]

So I recently bought a midrange android phone, found a gameboy color emulator (pretty good!) and Link's Awakening ROM lurking in the internets. Omg, I haven't played this for 15 years, it's such a beautiful game

I got stuck on the Forgotten mod due to it crashing repeatedly when those slicer tanks overloaded the game with their Macross Missile Massacre launchers. Problem is, I kinda needed them to win the mission, so now I'm just annoyed with the mod. The good news is I'm playing FreeSpace for the first time in a couple months- Frontlines to be specific.

How does it play on touchscreen? I recall that, for example, SNES emu is rather difficult due to touchscreens not being a particularly good replacement for a controller.

[Luis Dias]

It's a very good emulator, image and sound are perfect, no lag whatsoever, good interface (it's GBC ad). But it's hard to control, I haven't mastered it yet tbh. I was really good with the physical GB keys but with these I keep going in directions that I really really didn't want to. It's getting better with practice though and I'm already finishing the first cave.

I do wonder how it will behave in more frenetic cases. I'll let you know if I quit in frustration!

[Klaustrophobia]

I still have my original Link's Awakening cartridge and a GBA to play it on.  I've recently decided I need to go back and purchase/play all the games in the zelda series that I have missed.  I think all of them are pretty easily available now either through used game stores or virtual consoles/re-releases on newer systems.

Can't it take Nintendo Wii controllers (or that one other phone-based controller too, I believe) via BlueTooth? I know Snes9X EX can do that...

...anywho, I'm trying Final Fantasy I (the GBA Dawn of Souls version) on emu. Somehow I now regret taking the Thief.

My old black n white GB is dead I'm afraid, and I can't find my Link's Awakening cartridge. That game is probably well within my top 5 games of all time.

Alpha Centauri is quite good. Not really my beef, but I can see why people consider it one of the best 4xes

[Scourge of Ages]

I just lost XCOM Long War so hard, the game crashed.

Man, that game is STRESSFUL.

[StarSlayer]

Finally downloaded WoT last Monday managed to unlock the M4 last night.  Leveraged my elite Tier Is to feed credits and free XP into accelerating my way through the Lee.  I love my Loltraktor

[Scotty]

The M4 is a Good Tank, and there's not a bad tank anywhere on that line of tanks.

The T1 Heavy is also a Good Tank, and there's not a bad tank anywhere on that line of tanks either (with the slightly possible exception of the M103).  It's worth going back through the Lee just to get this tank.

Also every tank is more fun to play if you train the crew to 75% first.  Also Tier Is don't make a lot of money; Tier 5s make a lot of money.

[StarSlayer]

I leveraged my sign up bonus gold to transfer my original medium crew up the subsequent tiers so I'm already rocking a 100% crew with about 50% on their first perk.  I just need to unlock the 76mm and I think I'll be a happy tanker for a while.



If I'm not mistaken I can drop back into the Heavy class via the M4A3E2 --> T29?  I've already sold off the Lee and the thought of re-buying and grinding it more kind of turns my stomach.  Any map where there wasn't cover to hide my left side was painful.  Defilade? Lol Nope!

[Scotty]

You can get back through the Jumbo, yes, but then you have to grind through the T29 with the 76 mm, instead of getting the 90 mm from the absolutely sublime M6 Heavy.  If you go clear up to the T20 you can unlock the 90 mm there, though.  T1 and M6 heavies are just really good tanks in general, too.  Honestly, the Lee is the only tank in that entire tree that's not very good.

[ssmit132]

On the subject of World of Tanks... I finally got my first Top Gun award (6 or more kills in a battle) yesterday. I really like my Matlida sometimes...

Also Tier Is don't make a lot of money; Tier 5s make a lot of money.

QFT. My T-25 (which is a premium tank but still) is my most used tank because it's very good at getting credits when I need them, and I find it a fun tank to play with too. Very useful if I have a couple of bad matches in my Tiger (P).

Honestly, the Lee is the only tank in that entire tree that's not very good.

And while I'll agree that the Lee is an inferior tank, even it can do well if you can compensate for its flaws. True I don't play with it much (I mainly have it as part of my goal to have every tank that Oarai used in Girls und Panzer in my garage) but I've had some good games in it.

Small update to this, yes, you are right, they are not good replacements, because it has difficulties understanding simultaneous button clicks, which you can assess is a big issue. I've solved it by mapping the A and B buttons to the UP and DOWN volume buttons in the phone, which translates to a weird hand held situation, but it's also weirdly not dysfunctional. It's weird, but also not unergonomic! Anyways, I've grown accustumed to it and am already finding the key to the 4th dungeon. Which means that at least, it works. And I have fun with it, so there's that...

There is a really great appearance mod for vanilla CoH kicking around.  Gives all the vehicles and infantry period camouflage and uniforms.  Its especially nice for the Germans who really invested in interesting schemes.  I'll dig up the link if you are interested.

Didn't realize their were other WoT'ers on this forum. We should start a HLP WoT brigade!
Oh, and it wouldn't be WoT if we didn't talk stats...cause stats.
