Some old fun

Post by harley »

So there I was, setting up a new machine to do some coding on. I couldn't find the original setup installer to test with so I thought I'd grab a beta one just to get moving. When I fired off the game, I got the old placeholder art I created. I laughed.

good times... good times...

what's the story behind "Balkin hell that was close or Dude, where's my P40"? I can tell this is one of those 'you had to be there' moments.
THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!!

I think the P40 one was the grog discussion about who called them what, and who used what type. Kittyhawks, Tomohawks. Warhawks, P40's etc... As usual it degenerated into a slanging match in the dev forum between HARD_Sarge and DBS, both experts in minutiae of warfare...

As for "Balkin Hell", I just thought it sounded cool. We were putting the Balkan Air Force in the game, and it just worked for me.

I'm not normal.
