Wasn't there a similar thread not too long ago... one with much more detailed accounts IIRC...
Would you rather have them bump that one?
Anyway, heres mine:
(again)
One day when I was in third grade or something, my older brother brought home some games he borrowed from his friends. IIRC, he brought HL:OP4, Fallout 1,2, Roller coaster tycoon, and Freespace 2. I played OP4 all the way through and spent a little while on Tycoon, but then I tried freespace. It was the best. I had it on two computers, and was playing it at different spots on both. Eventually on my computer that I have in my room, I got to the second to last mission, of course, I didn't know it was the second to last at the time, but then my brother had to give it back, so I was Freespaceless. Then my HD broke and had to get it formatted. Up until a bit over a year ago, I would off and on spend a few hours on the internet looking for it every few weeks. Then, one humble day, I stumbled across this place called 'The Freespace Oracle'. It pointed me to the HOTU, so I got that version. But then I had to format my HD again because it got a virus Roll Eyes . When I got the computer set up again, I got the HOTU again, but the FTP was down. It was then that I signed on to this forum for the first time, because I wanted to learn more about and join the modern FS community. So I finally decided a more ambitious method of procuring the game. This great person, Zman, had an FTP or something with the ISOs on it, but at the time I didn't know exactly how ISOs worked. I got it anyway, had some trouble mounting them and stuff, but eventually, with you're help, I finally got retail working. At my next birthday, after many failed expeditions into the SCP, I got a computer upgrade. I immediately got the SCP, and finally played with good graphics.
