And have you info about any of the games I listed higher?

I've been looking for a copy of Dark Forces, but I can't seem to find it. there are still a few places I can check, but I havne't had time yet.

 

I downloaded it, but I couldn't get the sound to work. My last resort is to borrow my friend's copy and burn it.

And do you know where to get Wing Commander?

Those games will be even more troublesom to get than DF. I don't even know who the publisher was, and even if I could find out who, they probably don't sell them any more. You'll have to check somewhere that trades games in, or yard sales.

Thanks. Has anyone tried JKII on the net?

To answer your question Mad, it is $15.00 a month. Now about how the 'joining the military' it works a little differant. Let me just take it from the beginning:

 

When you first start your alignment or faction is neutral. As you progress through the game and decide what faction Rebel or Imperial you can begin to earn faction points for that faction or simply stay neutral. When you have earned the respected number (200) of faction points by doing missions that favor the side you can join.

 

When you join the faction of your desire, you can begin to earn rank, faction appropriate items and such. These are purchased using faction points aswell. So, yes you can have a full suit of Stormtrooper armor, but you never actually be a Stormtrooper.

Cool.

Once I get my new PC I shall buy Galaxies.

Wow, I didn't know that. Like I said, I only played it for 7 days. It's very lonely starting a game when you don't know any one... if you decide to get it Mad I'll look into getting it too.

Well, then I am glad I could be of service and help you two out.

Well, I've just been idely watching this forum, and thats helped me by saving me from asking a lot of questions! Thanx you guys, and I'll look into buying galaxies too!

Well, if Darky intends in reopening his account when Jump to Lightspeed hits, check out the Naritus server and give him a /tell. I am sure he would love to help you all out further.

Can't wait for my new computer. I think after that i am going to be much more active on different games.

I just downloaded the 14 day trial (again), any I'm still not overly impressed... but I am still alone. AA or Darky, either of you want to reactivate your account to give me a hand ?

I am happy. I have just managed to buy Dark Force, Rebel Assualt and X-Wing for 5 dollars on Priceminister (a kinda french version of ebay). I now have to wait for the guy to send me the games.

Grats on that Mad. I'm thinking of getting TIE FIghter, if only to experience the Thrawn sub-plot.

Sorry Thrawn, I do not want to get hooked again. I am believe Darky wil be reactivating his account soon if he has not already.

Hm... If you're running XP you will have problems with Rebel Assault, it won't run, not even in Compatibility mode, also the game does not recognize USB gamepads/joysticks.

 

X-Wing Collector's CD (Win 95 Edition)(you know it's this one if it includes a demos of X-Wing vs. TIE) should play correctly in any Windows platform, and Dark Force may or may not have problems with XP...

 

Thrawn, TIE is a great game you'll enjoy it, though the sub-plot is kinda screwed up...

 

I just noticed that there's a game missing from this list: Where's Yoda Stories!!!

You know, I don't think LucasArts lists Yoda Stories on their site.

 

If you're running XP, Mad, or have a newer sound card, you may have trouble getting the sound to work on Dark Forces. Unless you have a Sound Blaster, there's just no support for odd brands.

My favourite was the X-wing, among with it's mission packs and all... Somehow, it was even more exciting than XWA.

Yoda Stories - I always wanted that game, though I've never seen it in Australia

 

I really liked the demo, I thought it was a great desktop game - well, the demo at least.

 

You know, I don't think LucasArts lists Yoda Stories on their site.

 

No, it doesn't seem to be on the website anymore, although you can still get an update patch for it through support.

But it still won't run under XP.

 

It was a fun game, though it only had 15 possible scenarios.

I was wondering why certain games don'trun under xp? I mean isn't there a way to make them run?

Not that I know... The Compatibility Crap from Microsoft doesn't help and unless you had a windows emulator for a windows platform...

And where do you get an emulator... is that legal?

 

And about Yoda Stories: it came out on game boy for anybody owning one. And i saw a shop selling it here if you are interessted.

Emulators are perfectly legal, but the games you get for them are not, unless you own an actual copy of it.
