Maybe because the first half of the game would be really good... and then some one would say... Lets rap this up now... People are thinking out there and enjoying this... Bring in the explosions and and get rid of the story....

Sorry, my soccer loving friends, but this is American football. Besides, you have Championship Manager, which might be the very best sports text simulation ever created!

I've been watching WiF ("World in Flames")computer game for about 2 years now.

Go to above site and follow the links to the beta download page. It's starting to look really cool. They're going to release it without an AI opponent in first phase. At least that's the word I heard a while ago.

I have about 5 editions of the board game going back to the mid '80's I used to love it, played solitare for months at a time. My wife hated it though. I had to put it away so we could use the dining room table for Thanksgiving, lol!

I think that was the original name, or Battle force, I know they were forced to change the name at some point.

I ran across a new Online game today; the premise looks interesting, particularly to those of you who like role-playing their empires. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of micromanaging - no detailed ship building, no detailed combat, etc. It's been billed as a sci-fi Version of Diplomacy... anyway, go check it out if you want; the main page doesn't give a lot of detail, but the message Boards have some good info along with the link to the help (rules) page:

main page for Ultimate Galaxy Online game

Help/rules page for Ultimate Galaxy

Oh, for those who like to know these things up front, the pricing structure is US$4.95 for the first month & US$9.95 each month after that.

Re: OT-Some New games
 

Some days ago, surfin' on the Net, I came to a site of an Online rpg and science fiction game called "Faction Earth".
I read carefully the background storygame: it's huge and I easily say it's one of the best and interesting I've ever seen.
"Faction Earth" is a truly great game that mixes "The Matrix", "Blade Runner" and "X-Files" all in one......and it's amazing how the development team are really dedicated to the community! (like our beloved guys of MM and Shrapnel)
You don't need to buy any software: the download is free, the game runs through a client and it costs 1.99 U.S. $ for the 1st month and then 3.99 $ every month.
Now it's a few days I play "Faction Earth" but I must admit it's an amazing game and I'm completely addicted: before, only "SEIV Gold" has addicted me as "FE".
Do you a favor and go to visit the game site:
