Nice report man! I love your writing skill though I'm not an expert in English, it's cus I'm french. I agree with you for the lessons learned. Women are I'd say 500% more exciting than Starcraft.

I've played games like that :P So damn close.

Then you think about something insignificant that would have won you the game like building an additional probe 15 seconds earlier at some expansion.

Cool report.

boo
i didnt read it
it didnt seem to be entertaining in the first couple paragraphs, so bleh:(
usually your others do
i think it was the bold text
yuck

ACK! Hey Johnny, if you get around to reading this, could you close off the bold tag I missed (the one time you don't use the preview button...)? Sorry about that probe.

I'm glad everyone else liked it. It wasn't the closest game I've ever played by skill (YourHero was the best there), but who took away the victory was closest! I never actually thought I'd clear the board with twelve guardians =).

Yeah, I've played in FFA's with YourHero before too.. and he's very good.. at least that's my observation from being on the business end of a hydra swarm from him in one FFA with defiler support. Ouch!

Way to hang in there and make some noise.. and come out with the win! I love reading these.

Snow's a rater now?! Congratulations, etc.

Praetor continues to set the standard for pulling strange & wonderful FFA wins out of his ass. And, they make ever better reports
:)

All the best,

Star control fuxed up my comp =[
I went over to that site and bought it for 10 bucks cuz I'm so damn thrifty, and d/l it successfully. As soon as I run it, the logo comes up, then it minimizes back to windows. A lil' message says "This program will not run optimally under windows, would you like to run it under DOS?" Well of course I wanna run this thing optimally, so I click "Ok". Next thing I know the comp reboots in DOS, and freezes. I turn it off, then on again, and it freezes again. Luckily Gateway tech support rox, and they fixed it =P

so SC2 sux!

Maybe you should buy a computer capable of running DOS, Bob.

Doh :(. Too bad. Works great on my computer (except I have to live with the PC speaker for some reason - luckily it doesn't sound that bad, Star Control 2 uses it well). Did it give you options about what you wanted your startup options to be when Star Control 2 was run in DOS? It did for me, so only go with extended memory (not sure if it is necessary or not), I believe that is the only required element to play Star Control 2. And how did you computer get fixed - maybe that'll give a clue to what was wrong in the first place.

BTW, the DEMO works great on my computer, I haven't gotten the full version yet. I certainly hope the full version works when I get it.

#24 [29599]
fjwilson.reshall.ucsd.edu
Pictures in one of my reports... heh. That'll be the day. And as this appears to now be Bob's tech support forum: perhaps you should go to DOS mode first then start up StarControl2. NotDefault is quite correct, besides the hard drive, the only device SC2 uses is the keyboard.
#25 JSH[29622]
pmroch1-17.rconnect.com
Bah. Screw pictures. Praetor shows that he can't even use a bold tag correctly, so what makes you think he can put grandiose pictures in his reports? :)

hehe

bob, you can download StarCon2 on the Net for free.

FOOLIO!

BTW< Prozerran, where can you get Star Con2( what's the URL?)
#28 NotDefault[29939]
cr710281-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com
I think the creators still get royalties from Star Control 2. So don't pirate it. If you like the game at all, buy it.

NotDefault
#29 [29951]
fjwilson.reshall.ucsd.edu
Darn straight, NotDefault! In fact, the creators mentioned that SC2 still gives them pizza money =). Go to www.star-control.com, on their buy games page you can download it from Accolade, or buy it in other ways.

Ahh a good old fashioned text based ffa report, nice. I read the rather short but good The Art of War by Sun-Tzu that you suggested and found it very intresting. The commentaries were also very intresting and fun to read. Thatnks for suggesting I read it. By the way, are you planning on relasing and more Phoenix Legion Chapters at SCL any time soon?

Keep on writing cause you are divine,

thats all good and nice to say not to pirate it, but i bought the game when it first came out on floppy, and my floppy drive blew up with me old computer, so i aint gonna buy a new floppy drive for one game!

No-you can't download it on-line it doesn't exist anywhere online and as for buying it, good luck finding it.

Yes, amazingly close, and it made me hungry too :) I don't think it's quite as good as the Tao report though
