Darkness Rising was a demo for FS1 that was just the First Act of The Great War (until the Taranis mission) which included Afterburner trails and planet bitmaps. I played it for 2 years before actually getting FreeSpace.

I remember, once, paul Merton demonstrating on Room 101 that CDs were indestructible.

He did the following things to a CD, one after the other
1) Scratched it with a compass
2) Smeared Jam on it
3) Burnt the Jam and disk with a small Blowtorch
4) Placed the Disk in a plastic bag, you know the ones you put home-made sandwitches in, and prceded to smash it to pieces with a hammer.

He then placed the CD pieces in a CD player, in their correct places, and pressed play.
It played perfectly

Paul Merton is crazy.

I remember, once, The Sizzler demonstrating that CDs were very destructable.

I did the following things to a CD, one after the other
1) Rubber a magnet all over it.

I then placed the CD in a CD player, and pressed play.
It broke the CD player.

Is suspect the "CD" played perfectly because, the CD player was a Combo CDplayer/Radio/Tapedeck and had the demonstrated song on tape in the tape deck

You mean prove how destructable a cd player is? Cd's aren't magnetic storage, rubbing a magnet all over them will do nothing. Cd's are however sensitive to temperature, and plopping them in an oven at who knows what temperature could **** up the data (it'd be like ****ed up burning the whole cd at once).

By rubbing, I don't mean holding the magnet near the CD. I mean rubbing the surface. And by rubbing the surface, I mean scratches and scrapes and slivers falling off.

Oh ok, that makes more sense than what you wrote in the first place

Darkness rissing was like FreeSpace 2: Colossus which had 10-12 FS2 missions.

Darkness Rising was Act 1 of FreeSpace 1, and like 5 out of 6 acts in FreeSpace 1&2 it has 10 missions.

(in case anyone didn't notice, that's a hanging rope, i'm not that obsessed with it, but i'd be pretty devestated at that)

An inverted hanging rope

[Jeff Vader]

  yeah... Are you supposed to tie something heavy to the other end so that you'd have to drag it with you and you'd eventually die of exhaustion, or what?

[Colonol Dekker]

I thought it was a screwdriver

[Wobble73]

Looks like a pipette to me!

No, Darkness Rising is lost to the depths of hell... except for the few of us that still have it. 

[Snail]

Darkness Rising is the best FreeSpace version ever. Better than FS1, FS2, SCP... Everything. But only because of the sentimental value it has for me.

[Mobius]

Oi...


"VOGEL"? That's German...
