Roll Call of Longevity

[MarcA]

I must have got it March/April 05. Has it really only been 2 years? It seems like I've been playing it a lifetime.

HI ya Apharog! How is Ohio? Yep I remember the thrashing I received. Great game I enjoyed it. But you had me beat. Guys if you want to play a good honest player-play Apharog.

Its like a Ships reunion in this thread [:D]

Purchased at Origins and have been playing since. Good to see you again Titanwarrior89. Our game which lasted until near the end of 1943 is still my longest PBEM. My current PBEM is in January 1943. I think that the only thing that will end my playing of the game is when I'm forced to run an operating system that it won't run on. Hopefully a long time from now...

I drove to Columbus, Ohio and purchased at Origins the first day it was available. Columbus was only 3 hours away at that time so it was not a superhuman effort. I played regularly until Patch 1.6 came out. That seemed to gum up things so badly that my regular opponent dropped out of the game in the summer of 2005. Work demands picked up for me so I dropped out too until just this February. It is all I play now.

Played Pacwar since it came out and only stoped to play WITP on the summer of 04. It is the only came I play consistently, although I like my Craps casino game between turns.

from the day UV came out and WitP before it was released to ze' public

I came to Matrix Games back in 2000 because of their treatment of GG's PacWar, of which I was a big fan.  Then I played UV until WITP came out and downloaded it the hour it came out! [:'(]
 
Unfortunately I've never 'finished' a single game of this monster, work and school took too much of my time and I stopped playing back in 2005.  I am currently 'relearning' it via the AI on a game I started last month.

SPWAW was what drew me here orig. lol....still have my copy of SP:WAW version 1. (along with the original Steel Panthers from 1995!)

[ericl]

i downloaded it on July 2, 2004. Haven't stopped playing since...

[madflava13]

Been playing UV since it's release, with WiTP on my hard drive since it was released...

Halsey introduced me to UV in the fall of 03. Downloaded WitP 7/4/04, and never looked back. I have bought only three games since them, but these have served solely to fill in the time spent waiting for turns to arrive. I have to say that CHS and ABs map in particular have added a much-needed depth that is missing from stock scenarios. In stock, China is like a parking lot, terrain-wise. In CHS it is very tough.

For the first three months after purchase, WitP was the only game I played. Can't claim that's still the case, but that's mostly because I'm so heavily into modding now. Almost more fun the playing...[:D]

Bought it June 26 2004 at Origins. Didn't start playing until the next day when I got home. Been playing ever since.

[Speedysteve]

Bought it on 1st day of release. Never left my PC since

[Grotius]

Same: bought it first day of release, had it on the hard drive ever since.

[Bobthehatchit]

UV vet moved over to WITP the day it was released for download.

[Charbroiled]

Played PACWAR since it's release until I upgrade my OS to Windows. Bought WITP in Sept/Oct '04....been playing consistantly to date. Played one AI game til May '42...been playing PBEM since then. Have bought only 2 games that have stayed on my HD after purchace of WITP...Morrowind and Oblivion. Have bought other games after WITP...Civ IV...Pirates...and a couple other that I can't remember, but they are no longer of interest.

Somewhere, War in the South Pacific is in there, but i am not sure if it was a direct progression or not... it covered (about) the same territory as UV...
