I replied 'online advertisement', but it was really the Matrix front page, I play other Matrix games, so I visit regulalry. I heard about the original on the Underdogs site, but wasn't really interested due to the lack of SP.

Guess I actively searched.. A friend back in the day had the Ralph Reed game and a few of us played that on his Amiga without mercy. Couple years later, I remembered how much fun that game was, so I did a search on the net to see if it was still around and for a PC. Thats when I found its superior successor.. ToS 1.2. since then I've kept up with ToS on and off over the years.

I was definitely actively searching for a good mech-like game when I stumbled across ToS.

The print ad's (if there were any) had been completely missed by me, but when I saw the review of a 'Giant Robot' turned based game in PC Gamer I got it ASAP.

Hetzer lured me into ToS 1.4 and I've been hooked since.

Dumb question: What is the 'lack of SP'?

Mateo: Do you regulary read gaming magazines? If so, which ones do you read on a regular basis.

Single Player .

I downloaded v1.4 from the Underdogs site; links from that download, or from the site, or from various websearches eventually led me here... which led me to buy TOS:WS.

Someone on the Stars! forum mentioned it when I was playing regularly a couple of years ago. 1.4 then WS.

I found out about WS through sarna.net (Slayer posted an announcement on the site's front page that ToS:WS had been released to the public), but I think I may have unknowingly heard of this game about two years ago. Someone posted on sarna.net an invitation for anyone interested in helping develop a new 'Mech combat game (or something to that effect; it's been a while). I replied, was invited to join a Yahoo message group, but became disinterested when I realized how much I was going to have to read just to catch up, the group having several hundred messages already posted. Is this that project? And which category should I vote? None of the choices really fit.

I heard about TOS:WS over at the gonegold.com forums. The chat about this game overthere was about all I need to jump right on it.

I bought a pack of over 2000 freeware and shareware games a few years ago, one of them was Tos 1.1.
As soon as I tried it i got hooked, and I´ve been playing it or its "sequels?" till now.

BTW, the other 1999 or more games sucked :rolleyes:

I saw the box in a store and, since I played and loved the old Battletech game (Mechwarrior?) on the Amiga, I was immediately interested. Now I'm hooked.

I saw TOS:WS in a PC Gamer Mag. just flipping by and saw the " Factory " print of a titan got my eye and started reading. It sound like something I've never played before on my computer and it was Battle Tech / Mech Warriors . I have played the other first person/ **** pit style MEch game and like them, always looking for something new and different. So Far i'm enjoying it alot, i dont see that changing in the future.

Found it while looking for Steel panther on the Matrix forums.

I saw it here at Matrix...

As for spreading the word - I own many games, MW3 and MC1 & 2 included. I mention TOS:WS on the boards there for the old-timers where I can along with a link. Even had some replies mentioning seeing it in PC Gamer.

I saw a review of Korsun Pocket in a magazine, came to the website (and was already familiar with it from SPW@W), saw ToS:WS, and purchased at CompUSA.

Saw the game on the shelf at CompUSA. I knew about Matrix games from reviews like Korsun Pocket, and ToS was sitting next to KP on the shelf. Hadn't played any mech-like games since the original Battletech games (Activision?) or maybe the Sierra/Dynamix Cyberstorm game and wanted to try it out.

Saw the box at EBGames here in Montreal, but it was over a month and a half before I remembered to look up some reviews. Liked what I saw and the rest is, well, history.
