It's very funny ... whenever a sequel comes out, the publisher always gives away the first version ... for free :smile:

Ground Control is a good game, had me hooked for a week, so ... give it a shot, broadband users.

2)duke3d
3)anything ID software

i was funnin you bud, in all seriousness though, in spite of the fact that HL has resided on my hard drive longer than any other game, it has not been played as often as many others i own..

i actually played civ II for almost 2 straight years.. it is the only game i actually played repeatedly.. few games have that achievement.. replayability that is.

there was another game called "starcon 2" i played it for a whole year.. just one game.. its a sort of puzzle game and i missed a valuable piece that had me stymied for a long time.. thats a record for me playing a single adventure.

Its an RTS, looked pretty cool from watching my flatmate play a couple
of times, and he enjoyed it enough to be very hyped up about its
impending sequel.

i have a copy of ground control somewhere, very lush looking and fairly
decent to play.. just lacked the "x" factor. worth a look if you can be
bothered to wait for the download :smile:

Strangely, I have been blessed with a subscriber account, though I never actually put up the money... Think I might download and have a look.

No no ... you don't have to pay to subscribe ... look again, there's
free membership too. (you'll have to wait in line before you can
download the file, but that's not a big problem, aye ?)

I opted for the HUGE 600 mb dl containing both the original game and the mp demo for gc2. Sadly the demo didn't work because my gfx card is whack. The original game is actually pretty decent tho. Don't get me wrong its no starcraft, but its not bad either. Sort of reminds me of the game syndicate... in space. The multiplayer aspect seemed kinda shallow but the single player missions are fairly entertaining. I'll put it this way: it's definately some of the best legal freeware I've ever gotten.
