If the old games run too fast, there's always MoSlo. Slows your computer down so the games are playable.

Still looking for a playable Version of Xcom 1/2 myself, and another MOO2. (MOO1 too maybe). I had all those minus MOO1, care of gifts and a "retro gaming" PC gamer CD, but lost them. Found other downloadable Versions of x-com, but unlike the PCG Version they don't work right- very slow in the base screen/menus, very FAST on the globe screen.

SJ, I like your idea, sorta like 1 or 2 mystery type techs, chance you take to research because you don't know what your going to get or how good they will be or how good they get the higher up you go in the tree. Throw in a random number of them so you don't get the same ones each game so you can't memorize them and know which ones you want or don't want. Great idea, limitless possibilities if it can be done. Also make it moddable for you modders http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

just some ideas mac

Re: Off Topic DO NOT BUY CIV 3
 

Well the latest patch was released recently, and the game has progressed from very annoying do not buy to "hey this kinda fun" ok to buy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The Expansion pack has been announced and it promises to make a lot more improvements. So what the hell, I have upgraded my "Do Not Buy" "Buy if your really board" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Heh... what'd I say months ago? Development of any signifigant program is now completed in public. DON'T BUY FIRST RELEASES -- unless you want to finance development.

I figured that Civ III would be a pretty decent program about a year after release. Looks like it's on track. When MOO III is released in public beta I'll buy Civ III. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

What? They will make us pay more money for the most important feature (MP) that should have been in the initial release? Ridiculous!

Edit:
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That is just sickening.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yet another lacked feature in the release that crippled the game IMO.
