Good deal, cool game. The sequel is fun as well.

I must confess I didn't know it had one, what is the title?

[laffer]

Conquests of the Longbow

It's not a direct sequel in that the story has nothing to do with the first one, but it is the second game in the 'series', by the same authors.
Pretty good game, I think.

I just fired it up on my 1200 via WHDload - I wish Sierra had put more effort into their Amiga ports, the colours just dont look right compared to the VGA PC version.

Laffer links ONLY to Mobygames for an Amiga game which has an entry in HOL, so he must think that HOL sucks

Ban request sent to GMs

So he has a preferred reference site, not a big deal IMO.

[TCD]

Neither is a plug for HOL

[laffer]

I didn't want to link to the Amiga version as it's a *really* awful port, like most Sierra ports... that's why

I use HOL for all my Amiga game needs.

He's right, the Amiga ports of Sierra games are generally terrible and I'm a Sierra fanboi!

You are mistaking the tone of my posts.
I have a tendency to "tease" some EAB members, including laffer:

I don't think he has a preference for MobyGames. Perhaps he wanted to link to the entry there for the additional DOS screenshots. Or perhaps he just forgot to post the link to HOL.

Anyway, I just wanted to have a bit of fun at him (I expected him to post something like "ooops sorry, I will never do it again, I promise).


Since you are a relatively new member you might not have read some of my other "teasing" posts and since I did not really include anything showing that it was such a post I can see why you misinterpreted it as being literal.

Feel free to PM me if you want to have a further discussion (if you think I am not a nice person or whatever ).


I am also a contributor to MobyGames btw (not very active recently though):
http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,137916/

so don't think I have an hatred towards them.

On the other hand, don't mention yuk, Lemon...

Lol, fair enuf lads

Just finished GTA: San Andreas.......Holy crap what an amazing game, Straight into my top 3 best games ever made.

[chaos]

I just drove a few laps in Need For Speed 1 SE. Hands down the best NFS by far. Pretty hard, too I can't believe I last played it something like 15 years ago

Beware, you'll play it a dozen times more I actually own it on both PS2 AND PC, because I had finished the PC version with keyboard and mouse a couple of times and thought: this game must be more awesome lying in bed with a (cordless) PS2 controller in my hands.

It turns out that its a mixed bag. The driving and especially flying part certainly is more comfy with a controller, but the walking and shooting part is just far more comfortable with a mouse. IMO of course.

Did you finish the driving school and unlock the car trading missions? That will keep you busy for a while.

I played it on xbox 360 (downloaded from the marketplace)

Yeah, did all the driving school and flying school and pretty much every misc mission/objective I could find, The only things I have left to do is take back various sections of the hood from the Ballas, and spray over a few tags.. Also a couple of the casino - Robbery missions left but all of that will be done today.

Will probably play through it again very soon

Hopefully I wont find Zeros - RC Missions so bloody frustrating next time lol
