FPS was never my scene, either.  The closest I usually came was a sim like F-19 or Silent Service II.  Now, my son is all about some multiplayer Halo (version whatever) on his Xbox 360. [:D]

I played the heck out of Silent Service II. That was the old sub game where you sunk Jap ships, right? Memory is fading......[:D]

Closest I came to RPGs was Darklands. That was pretty fun.

The story driven ones can be really fun.

Story-driven just means it's an RPG now. Sorry. Dull. For me, at least.

Goodnight tithe.

Dr Zimm seems to be arguing with himself on that empty thread...

He quotes Nik and Mynok, then proceeds to agree with them in lots of words. I guess I am just not clever enough to understand what I read either...

Hi Leo.

I saw that you attended that match where Swedens sorry excuse for champions played yesterday - congrats!

Good thing you beat them - I seriously don't like that team.

Yep - it was very good game for us (best in years if I recall)! [:)]

So you don't like Malmoe... I could have guessed that since you are from Stockholm... [;)]

Good results for all the English teams tonight. Nice to see Fulham winning, even with their slightly mental chairman/owner [:D]

Leo, I'm surprised you didn't suggest "Serious Sam" as a touchstone FPS. Didn't you play that? IIRC, wasn't that a Croatian development team?

Fun game too, by the way. [8D]

I personally know the designer and main programmer of "Serious Sam" (and I knew his first project - it was footbal DOS game [:D])... but I never played nor liked "Serious Sam" game...
