Re: preordered DOM-II
 

I'd agree with everything else you said Saber...but although I've sadly never played System Shock I must think system shock 2 was certainly better than almost anything else in the genra for quite a period of time. Playing it at night on impossible makes me really scared when i hear monkeys or protocal droids or anything. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

If you can get it to run on a modern computer, check it out! System Shock was the best "FPS" ever, and the game that made Warren Spector famous. True, playing SS2 at night and hearing a monkey go "eee-eee-eee" somewhere in the distance was pretty scary... but SS1, after the first time I tried it, and almost got a heart attack, I simply couldn't play at night. And that was on Level 1 (medical)... and my friend was with me!

If you liked SS2, and can live with worse graphics... SS1 is an absolute must. The magnitude of difference is similar to Master of Magic versus games that tried to be MoM2, or X-COM versus any of its sequels. Oh - if at all possible, go for the CD Version, which has full speech (tons and tons of audio logs, etc). That stuff is REALLY freaky.

P.S.

Let me phrase it this way: SS2 was a great game that impressed everyone who played it - unless they had played SS1.

Re: preordered DOM-II
 

well...i just pre-ordered....I got the Priority Mail option...not sure the difference between Priority and Express (other than the 15 dollar difference in price)....

So, sometime within the first week (hopefully) of November, I will be loading up Dominions 2.

For anybody who still wants to catch the pre-release special price, I procrastinated in my usual way, but discovered that the $39.95 is still valid this morning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
