What games should I consider - I'd like to pick up a new shooter, but I'm not sure what to get. Of course I already love Tribes and Tribes 2. Had a blast in past years with Quake 2, and Descent lan play. I love combat with live 2,..

What games are you all playing now? - Not sure if I asked this a while back. Like a lot of things, I meant to do it then I think I forgot, but I'm not sure if I *did* forget. This happens a lot to me now. Terry Wogan calls them - which is great, but I'm *not* senior. ..

Frightening Statistic - Hi folks - Heard something on the news I found this weekend, the world's will pass an estimated 6.5 Billion people. Meaning that the world's will have doubled since *1960*. 46 years. Yikes. This can't..

So, aside from Tribes 1/2, which, if not dead, are on life support,
what games that you have played and liked are either hanging on by
their fingernails or are dead?

I'll start with Mechwarrior. Loved all of them, even 4. Capture the
flag in that was almost as good as Tribes.

Liero lives on, through clones. My favorite is Liero Xtreme.

Yeah, I'm aware, however I still like the original best (one day I will figure out a way to play it online, perhaps involving Virtual PC and some VNC programs.. In other words, overkill). Quite an untimely demise, that poor Liero had.. >> Stay informed about: Good games gone dead

I play T1 every day if anyone can post this information in places such as forums and web sites please, it will ensure tribes will live on. For a free (legal) version of the game: http://www.tribes0.com/trorbs.zip (this is a full Tribes folder, just set path as C/Dynamix/Tribes and play, no need to install) Also, directions on how to set the new master server: http://landofoz.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=127 tripop{OZ} >> Stay informed about: Good games gone dead
