I was just rummaging through some boxes of games and I ran across a copy of Independence War II. I had some really great memories of playing this game, so I figured I'd install it and see if it was as good as I remember. Much to my surprise, it's actually just as good as I remember... maybe even a bit better.
I'm totally hooked again. It's depressing as hell that this game didn't do better, because it basically put Particle Systems out of business. I can only imagine what they would be doing now, 5 years later, with brand new technology... Even now, Edge of Chaos is a beautiful game, though I suppose there hasn't been much competition being that the genre went belly up.
Anyway, enough reminiscing. I was wondering if anyone around here has had any luck getting IW2 running under Linux. I've got a serious hankering to play, but I hate rebooting into windows to play games. It seemed to install alright under Wine, but it gave me a d3d error when trying to run. I tried cedegacvs, but that was a nightmare. I might consider picking up retail cedega if it runs IW2.
