Matrix Games Forums

I joined the forum when I found about EIA being turned into a computer game. I came to the site and found WITP too. I was hoping that they wouldn't be released close together so I would have time to play one before the other. I guess I got my wish.

reading this thread is almost like time travel...."I come from your future with knowledge of wondrous new technology...."

(certainly none of them are still active in on this forum at least).

I think that we lost Major Tom when he stepped out of the capsule some years ago...

Feinder: If you look at the member list, it's quite amazing how many people bothered to sign up, but then didn't even make a single post. I signed up on 5/17/200 under my old logonid of Charles22. I lost the old logonid when they switched formats.

As a rough guess, I would say 90%, or higher, of the members never got their posts into double digits.

Yep...several of us have had several logonID's....

I did join because of old Pacific War and then Steel Panthers. Nowadays I usually waste my time here on WitP forum...[:'(][8D]

Good old times ! [:D]

Hmmm...MatrixGames have Area 51 ? Or...maybe this is "Matrix" ? [:D]

A bump for one of the oldest, threads in the WitP forum database.

It's the first where a WitP Dev (good ol' Mike!) chimed in...

Yes, I'm a little bored.
-F-

OMG I started reading this thread and wondered what it was all about! Then I came to your post and realized that this thread is 7 YEARS OLD! [;)]

Methinks my brother (Feinder) is not too busy at work!  [:D]

I know how everyone feels. I started cruising the Matrix games forums when they redid Steel Panthers, a favorite of mine. I had been playing WIP since 1992 when I got my first PC. SP came out when I was in Okinawa and I picked it up immediately because Grisby was the designer. When I found out that SPWAW and WIP were here at Matrix I signed up immediately. Had to go thru a couple of name changes tho...

Wow, color me confused too at first. I was thinking, are they going to redo PacWar again, only this time make it more strategic and less a micro-management chore (WITP)? [:D]

I too came here originally because Matrix had 'redid' one of my fav GG games, PacWar (I've been playing his stuff since Apple II days). I've never finished a WITP campaign game, never had the time the past few years (school). This thread brought back those heady days when I had so much hope for the game (weekly turns for example with that scale instead of what WITP became). Still, WITP is an incredible accomplishment. [&o]
