The harm that software pirates do

What CustomC said...

only games I fool with these days are CM and SEIV.

every other game I messed with in the past year is abandonware within weeks of publishing....

Well, I fully agree with you... As far as I am concerned 98% of the games released are just crap. But I also play Rowan's Battle of Britain (good blend between flight sim and stategy game), X-Tension (a game in the line of the old ELITE), Europa Universalis (very good strategy game set between the XIV and XVII centuries, where you play one of the 8 major powers in Europe). I am also a big fan of an old tactical game called Steel Panthers
(you can dowload it for free at www.matrixgames.com)
I must say I also enjoy Heroes of Might and Magic III... although the real breakthrough wass in the first of the series the others are just more of the same...

Is X-Tension out yet? Or, maybe it's out in Europe but we'll have to wait another six months until it's out int the States?

Here's the website I found that said it won't be out for another 167 days.

Do y'all know if Combat Mission has an AI? Or, is it strictly human vs. human?

Thanks.

I heard the game was already released in the States not the add on for X-Beyond the frontier, but the full X-Gold package.

you can always go to www.egosoft.com and order it from them!

CM has AI.

CM most definitely has an AI...

I wish we could convince MM to allow people to buy and then download the game off the net, I mean I've been waiting for 2 and a half weeks, I would kill for a downloadable Version that I could just burn onto a cd. It would be soooooooo nice! Give me a downlaodable Version and send me your custom CD and such in the mail so I don't have to wait so long to play.

Well, I'm not criticizing MM for choosing not to do that, but I just looked at My CD, and the game itself is only 40 megs. Most of us d/l larger demos on a weekly basis. So it's not a case of the game being too big.
