"Role Play?"  I've said this 1,000 times, I am Admiral Wolf.  I am able to speak to you as a Doctor in a blue box somehow materialised in the Galatea fighter bay and showed me both the present and my future.  I am aware of my fate in 2335, but through a Paradox machine, the Doctor has enabled me to communicate with you, the "players" of a training simulation designed to prepare Earth for the forthcoming events.


Galatea Out.

That was an out-of-body experience.

Thanks to FS2: Colossus, I found and fell in love with all Freespace 2! Anyways--it came with my Logitech Wingman Force 3D. I must have played it 15-20 times at least!

Oh, you get it when you get a joystick. Probably why I never heard of it before.

[tinfoil]

Yeah. Probably should have mentioned that at the beginning but i was pretty sure you guys would figure it out anyway.

[Blue Lion]

Oh I'm sure everyone else did. I'm just weird and don't use a joystick.

[karajorma]

I got it free with a Force 3D - Which I bought to play FS2.

IRONY WINS!!!

[Colonol Dekker]

Keyboard only.
I've only played the full retails. . .
@miral_wolf did this "doctor" have a woman with him? if so which one, and when you get her on here. . . .or the next London do?

[admiral_wolf]

Funnily enough yes.  Very nice attractive blonde girl called Rose.  Shame she brought the boyfriend Ricky with her...

Colossus was my first contact with the Freespace... I played it countless times before I found the full version somewhere on the Internet a few years later.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

That's exactly how it went with me too.

FS2 Colossus started my obsession for FS2.

* Androgeos Exeunt has voted.

I was about to vote "WTF is FS2 Colossus", but after reading the first few posts, I voted "Never".

This is how I got my hands on FreeSpace 2...

Compaq Desktop PC running Windows 98 SE -> Bundled FULL VERSION of Descent 3 -> Descent 3 CD 2 -> FreeSpace 2 Trailer -> FreeSpace2.com -> FreeSpace 2 Demo -> Azureus -> Alcohol 120% -> FULL VERSION of FreeSpace 2

FreeSpace 2: Colossus was probably the "Descent 3: Sol Ascent" of FreeSpace 2 (i.e. Level-limited "Special Edition").

Never. I had FS1 recommended to me and bought it. Then I saw FS2 in the game store and was wondering where the marketing was, and bought it. Then I found some of the old web sites and downloaded some of the old campaigns. Then I forgot about it for a few years, loaded it up on a new computer on a whim, went looking for the fan campaign stuff again, and I found this site. Now I have pretty ships. (I bought silent threat too. )

Smart move. Apart from the FS2 Demo and Trailer, I got everything else from BitTorrent.

I played FS2 Colossus since I was 6 which i found beneath a few old dust-filled bookcases, right until I was 14, when i discovered the glory of Turey's Installer. . . Thank God for Turey!!!!!!!!

btw im 14 right now if that gives u a rough idea

EDIT: oops, I typed inside the quote

You mean -around- the Galatea, since its inside is so big...

I like how most people voted for "WTF is FS2 Colossus". But I say most poeple have played it in theory if it is just part of the normal FS2 campaign. Also known as FS2 Lite - Why The **** (WTF) would you get a Lite version of anything...though I have never seen a Hevy version of anything...

[colecampbell666]

And you posted that why?

These, gentlemen, are the two strangest posts in this thread.
