Its still an old game, so it counts...

I've been trying to get my Dark Reign to work, and its expansion too. I miss having global artillery pieces.

TA was awesome. Too bad the vanilla multiplayer games usually ended with vamp/hawk spam the required more micro than strategy. Supreme Commander make the main difference that buildings were more durable and shield could cover your base thus forever nerfing TAs awesome artillery exchanges.

Evey day I wish it wasn't Starcraft but TA that got all the patches and became the universal RTS that everyone ripped off. It was a better game in so many spectrums.

Especially scale wise. Though not story wise though.

There wasn't much of it. Or much that I noticed, anyhow.

I'm currently replaying Death Rally and Quarantine. I always loved weaponry on cars and both are fun to play. Also playing Conquest of the New World sometimes when I'm bored.

Death Rally's too fast-paced for me after I upgrade to the Shrieker. A good game, nonetheless.

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

Then you should play interstate 76, the TRUE gun/car combo :nod:

Or Twisted Metal 2, which still stands up as being thoroughly awesome.  And then the series got raped afterwards...

Started playing Raptor again. This time, I'm playing on Elite difficulty all the way through, using only what I gain (or as I put it, "standard equipment"). I've scraped through Bravo Sector and am now at Wave 6 of Tango Sector.

I would seriously like to see how anyone can survive Outer Regions with only the MG21C Reaver Twin Machine Guns...

Hah, raptor: that brings back memories...

What about tyrian? ;7

I played that too, but stopped after I uncovered every secret there is to know (excluding arcade special moves), and mind you, Tyrian 2000 has a lot of secrets. The biggest one, however, is that your ship actually stands a one-in-six chance to turn into the SuperCarrot on its own at the end of Episode 5, complete with the all-powerful Banana guns.

Actually, I always preferred the stalker ship than the super carrot. Couple this with a laser, a sound shock wave, and 2 zica superchargers (with of course max shield, weapon power, and generators) and you're untouchable. ;7

What Special Weapon do you use? Your ship set up is one of the two most powerful set-ups (the other being an all-Zica set-up with Sonic Wave as the rear gun), yes, but if you don't have the SDF Main Gun...

Double-post. :D

I just watched some guy fail the last wave of Outer Regions on Raptor on Rookie difficulty. Reminds me of the problems I had when I first got to that level. That was five years ago. If I play that level now, on Elite difficulty, I can finish it if I lose five Phase Shields.

*wishes he had heard of any of these games*

Just managed to track down a used copy of ICO for the PS2.  From the few minutes I've spent playing it, it seems like it really is very similar thematically to Shadow of the Colossus.  Should be quite the experience.
