made a shuttle take off for around 5 secs then smash back into earth, and i think i made a space station go out of orbit as i couldnt work out how to make the space ship un-dock and i gave it full throttle while still connected
Well, this is actually not a game yet, just technology demo, but there is very nice people playing it. It is roleplaying game, but not typical levelling thing, but it has really role playing in it, you can't play it without reading forums and guides how to play, what you say have to come from character that you play with, you have to be in role, well isn't that idea of roleplaying anyway?
It is great balance for all hectic racing and living, if you are in need of quick play, easy and if you like to get everything now, then this is not for you, but if you have learned how much better things are if you have to wait them, then worth to look.
I just saw this on the tele looks nice its free its multiplayer online, but i can't play it on this pc :o SO ILL SHARE IT WITH YOUALL ...what was the site again hmm... http://www.flyaceshigh.com ill check it out when i get a chance to hog the laptop
It's a topdown hex based (2D) tactical game (WWII). Really good and the graphics are good for such. The tanks have separate armour thickness and slope for for each side, turret sides and top. Hit angle affects penetration together with the distance, ammo type (HE, AP, APCR/sabot, HEAT). Not just tanks, but contain all the infantry, artillery, air and naval support. Can drop paratroopers and gliders. Personally I like the scene when a plane makes a strafing run over the battle field. Usually played in IGOUGO fashion against AI, but can play human opponents with hotseat, email and over internet.
You can play single scenarios or longer campaigns. Or create your own ones (campaigns too).
It is based on the DOS games of Steel Panthers series (I,II,III) from mid 1990s, but this version is a fully windows game with improved graphics and sounds.
Steel Panthers MBT (MBT=Main Battle Tank)
(or actually WINSPMBT, because there was a version which was DOS based)
It is done by different people. The maps are not compatible (need conversion program) to SPWAW.
Some differences (to SPWAW) are that tanks might have HEAT armour (some ceramic armour) and reactive armour. The time span is from Korea to near future (c. 2010), so it adds jets and helos and AT guided missiles plus lot more.
Same people who made SPMBT also made SPWW2 (or WinSPWW2). It is like SPWAW, but again the maps are not compatible (without conversion). SPWW2 and SPWAW have bit different features and which one you prefer is up to you.
