UntimelyDemise Posted October 14, 2002 Posted October 14, 2002 I know the game's been out forever, but does anyone else play 1602 A.D.? Outside the US, it is called Anno 1602. I hate to say it, but I've gotten kind of addicted to it. It's sort of like Civilization, but the competitors don't start screwing with you right away, giving you a chance to build a decent city. Plus, I just like cannons blazing on the high seas! I have a bit of a pirate in me, I suppose. Shiver me timbers!

Skynxnex Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 Nah man never heard of it before, I will admit though I am looking forward to Master of Orion 3 (MOO3) that is supposedly coming out in November. http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2519/yodavspals4fr0gi.gif
UntimelyDemise Posted October 15, 2002 Author Posted October 15, 2002 Sky! Nice to see you again! I'm one of those weirdos that has never played MOO. One day, I shall gain the knowledge of the masters who play MOO. Hmm...I kinda sound like a cow. MOOOOOOOOO!

Skynxnex Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 Nice to see you again too Untimely, sadly it has been too long, at least its no longer hotter than Mercury here in VA anymore. http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2519/yodavspals4fr0gi.gif
the_mask Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 I'd rather have that Mercury weather, than all the rain and wind that's currently marking my way from the parking zone to the university... To the best of my knowledge Anno was created by a German company named Sunflowers and it came out about 5 years ago. That was the time when I had the choice of joining the armed forces or civil service for a year. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif
the_mask Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 Oh yeah, and according to my games-mag the sequel Anno 1503 (respective 1503 A.D.) should be in stores at the end of Oct. I saw previews on the mag's DVD, sweeeet. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif
UntimelyDemise Posted October 16, 2002 Author Posted October 16, 2002 mask: Excellent! More New Worlds to conquer for the crown! Sky: Yes, now if we can just catch that damned sniper, things could settle down in our fair Commonwealth! Oh, and maybe if we could get a little more rain...

Skynxnex Posted October 17, 2002 Posted October 17, 2002 Yes that crazed sniper has unfortunately now made his way into the area where I live in VA, Fairfax County...in all honesty I would rather take the hot weather than the rain as well.. http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2519/yodavspals4fr0gi.gif
Guest JediIgor Posted October 17, 2002 Posted October 17, 2002 PC Gamer said MOO3 was now outdated by today's standards. For example, all of the interface was just text. I wouldn't usually complain.. but they are giving 1990-era war games good scores!!! (You know what I'm talking 'bout!)
UntimelyDemise Posted October 17, 2002 Author Posted October 17, 2002 Sky: Keep your head down, bud. I have a friend who works in the Uniformed Secret Service up there, too. Dangerous times. Igor: I hate to say it, but I would rather have a good, user-friendly play system and fewer bells and whistles. Look at Rebellion...the game is outdated, but we still love it! Sometimes they ruin games with too much fluff and not enough substance.

Skynxnex Posted October 17, 2002 Posted October 17, 2002 Definitely right on about the fluff...the bane of games!!! http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2519/yodavspals4fr0gi.gif

Admiral-Beef Posted December 7, 2002 Posted December 7, 2002 that shouldn't be too hard, i found it at my local k-mart for 7 dollers, but i didn't buy it (gotta check the net for reviews, then i found this topic!!!)

Rogue13 Posted December 11, 2002 Posted December 11, 2002 I played the first Civ game that Sid Meirs made on my old Atari ST. I loved it. I never got arround to buying any of the Civ games for the pc but reading this topic brings back a few memories. 2xtreme Gaming Clan http://www.clan-2xtreme.co.uk Counterstrike Source : 195.20.109.124:27015Day of Defeat : 195.20.109.124:27025Team Fortress Classic : 195.20.109.124:27030Counterstrike 1.6 : 195.20.109.124:27040
