I have worn down a lot of joysticks in my life, but my favorite was the original Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro. These things were made to withstand the armageddon and the apocalypse at the same time. I'm still hoping to get it working someday on my regular PC with the help of a cheap …

...I run the Virge version of Terminal Velocity this way, and I have to start it by running it from the setup.exe then wait about 5 minutes while it sits there deciding what to do before it finally loads, lol. LOL ...yeah, a lot of people think messing with old computers and software as a hobby is …

What's YOUR favorite joystick for old-school PC gaming? I tend to prefer a classic CH Flightstick for very old 286 machines (the Gravis MK-series of 2-button joysticks also gets an honorable mention). And for early Windows-era games I *really* like the programmable Gravis Firebird II (although they …

I found a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-dvmY1VP18 The video gives you the music and a view of some of the gameplay, but I guess it's being played on an emulator because it doesn't include all the great sound effects (the primal screams when a Rocket Jockey is harpooned, the crash sounds, …

It kind of reminds me of Jet Moto, with the "bike" and the grappling. Looks like that's where it stops, though. Yeah, I played Jet Moto (and Jet Moto 2, and Jet Moto 3), hoping that these games would be similar to Rocket Jockey -- but those Jet Moto games are virtually "unplayable" with much, much …

Long time no see, digitaldoofus! I remember reading a review of it in the Computer Games Strategy Plus magazine long time back. Never had a chance to play it though. And it did receive favourable reviews, iirc. Hi, Malik. Yeah, a couple of the big "magazine" reviews saw at least a bit of the game's …

Maybe I should have inserted my avatar between each paragraph of my original post. :) Seriously, though...if any of you guys try this game, please post back and let me know how you liked it. When I turned a few of my friends onto it a few years ago, they also became lifelong fans. I ask you: What …

I'm sure there's been various "Greatest Game" threads in the past, but I'd like to post this one as a HUGE recommendation to fans of Action games and fans of multiplayer games. Most people have never tried the game I'm about to tell you about, largely because when it first came out, it was almost …

>>>"...a serious refrigeration facility in... Siberia? I've gotta admit, that's one of the last business plans I would've expected to be successful."<<< Are you kidding? Just *think* about it...that has GOT to be the most efficient, low-cost mass refrigeration facility in the world! I bet their …
