If you don't have Knossos, you need it.

One of my favorite quotes from Freespace 2.  Right behind that is "I can live with being a pawn if the game makes sense."

The smartest thing I did was visit Interplay and YouTube and learn about how Into the Lions' Den began. As a result, I've never been rammed by Sathanas 3. EVER. :D
I actually can't remember what happened the first time I faced Sathanas 3, or if I had prior knowledge. :confused:

My reaction? "Dive? lol i'll climb instead!" *SLAM*
Yeah, dunno what is up with that. I never figured my self to be one of those persons that would do push when told to pull in emergency situations....

The first time I played Into the Lions' Den, I went left.

The second time, I went left again.

The third time, I dove.

The fourth time, I went right.

Every time after the fourth, I dove.

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

The first time, when also playing with a crappy and dark monitor, I was like "Augh! Who's shouting? Stop that. *squints eyes* What's that up ahead? *splash*". After that, I've always been diving and hitting my burners.

The very first time, I tried going up, and I got very lucky.  I actuallly made it before the Sath splattered me.  Only barely though.

Ha. Joysticks are for chumps. A mouse is the way to go, with TWO buttons and a wheel I'm spoilt for choice.  :)

mouse and keyboard FTW!!!  :D
