Post by: Stealth on October 16, 2002, 12:49:28 pm
if anyone wants to buy freespace or freespace 2 now's your time... there are some very good deals on Ebay at the moment.  for under $2.00 you can buy freespace or freespace 2... (excluding shipping of course)

Surely you already have FS, or you wouldn't be here.

EDIT: w00t 500 Posts!

Very well, I will let you off just this once, but don't let it happen again.

I suppose you are quite right, a lot of people dont have FS1.

As an aside, I was pleased to see my local second hand games store stocking the FS1/2 double pack for £10... damn good value if you ask me!

No unopened Lego 5571's over there (ebay) yet; gah, I am getting more and more mad at myself every day for not immediately snatching up the one on Bricklink last month and allowing that other little pill to buy it... :mad:

From the auction description
Set in the same universe as Descent, albeit in a different era, Descent: FreeSpace?The Great War represents another of Interplay's forays the space combat genre generally dominated by LucasArts and Origin...


Same universe?? I hadn't thought about that - I assume the Descent games come significantly prior to FS1...

The 20 extra missions in the Sci-Fi Sim of the Year edition of FS2??  Are they on the VWatch archives?

Post by: CP5670 on October 17, 2002, 09:20:08 am
I think those extra missions are single-player versions of the gauntlets and the Templar campaign, but they have not been changed around at all for play balancing and so on. The rest of the missions are all available from the internet. (this is just what I have heard, as I don't have the SOTY edition)

It's that truck I posted here a while ago; this (http://www.1000steine.de/users/brickset/images/5571-1.jpg) one. :D

Ah, the 5590 Whirl & Wheel Truck! I would really like to get that one as well since it looks neat and seems to have many useful pieces, but this item is a bit hard to find these days. (released in 1990 and discontinued in 1993) I don't have any Model Team stuff yet (at the moment my entire collection is Technic), but the 5571 Black Cat model seems to be very popular among Technic people as well and was recommended to me by several of them. :D
