"Want a Free Game?"

I bought Delta Force 2 and it's crap.
I mean I only paid £9.99 and I think I've been ripped off.

However, I know that there is someone out there that would appreciate it.

So post and say if you want it. No catches, I just really hate this game and dont want it in my house any longer.

I can't even be bothered to work up the effort to microwave the CD - I just stare at it and fall into catatonic stupour.

So, if you want to be the new owner of this cat-vomit game, say so,I won't laugh.

They have this really bril training mode where you have to try to stay asleep at the wheel whilst bringing your train into a station.

Ace!

Microsoft Train Simulator if you play it is an okay game. It is made really well and offers you a realistic chance to drive trains which is something not possible for train fanatics all over the world ahem. I havn't actually got it but I've seen it in a certain store where they claim to be dedicated to toys and have everything you'd dream of all under one roof... yes you know the one. I spent 3 hours in there not buying anything but playing on all the games in there - who wants to be a millionaire junior (won a million first go I rock), Ready to Rumble for the Dreamcast, the superb Gran Turismo 3 for Playstation and yes Microsoft Train Simulator which I must say looked good, was made good and played well BUT you had to like trains.

As I'm sure most of you don't like trains and neither do myself. Trains are not exactly the hip cool thing in this generation of 10-25 year olds and probably not in the 25-dead region either HOWEVER some people to like their trains. Lots of trainspotters in the world, and yes lots of people want to drive trains. Also lots of people want to show they can drive a train better than those guys at Railtrack who like missing signals. And the game is terribly realistic. You drive the train making sure you keep at the right speed... if you drive off the track it's time to start again. You also have to look out for red lights etc.. and stop at stations to pick people up - a very amazing skill that requires you to slow down at the right time so the entire train is next to the platform. The great graphics are also very nice to look at. The landscapes look quite real and quite beautiful. You can change views etc... basically it's a train fanatics dream of a game - no more playing with train sets. And lets be frank this is the first train simulation of it's kind and to many this is their dream game. I doubt Microsoft will do another train game and I doubt they will need to. The train fanatics now have their favourite game and will be satisfied for a long time. And non-train fanatics might love it to. We struggled to remove our friend from the microsoft train simulator (he was only playing it last week and wouldn't let go). Even the security guards struggled to get him out ;-)

Oh yes I must laugh they were selling the game for 50 pounds in this certain store.. haha ha.

I retract my statement. I will not judge Train Sim until I have given it a thorough playtest. Regardless of the standard of Train sim, I will not ever again compare it to the likes of Titanic, nor involve it in comments about grannies on mopeds.

This retraction is sectioned under (503)sb3 of US law.

I really do.



Ladies and Gentlemen, we might have a winner here.

Look, that train game might be ok. Dont be so rude.

Since my grandad was crippled in the Boer War, he hasn't been able to get out much and spends most of his days looking up 'How to speak Afrikanns' and 'British Legion' Newsgroups on the internet.

I think it would be really great if he could have a copy of Delta Force 2, because the only other game he's ever played was Window's Minesweeper, which he says is graphically superior to anything he's ever seen before.

It's his birthday in 10 days time, which is also the anniversary of the day his wife got speared by a Zulu, so it's usually a happy/sad occaision, and I feel that being able to say "Here you go Grandad, go frag some Germans!' and hand him a copy of Delta Force 2 would really make his day and allow him to relive his youth to some extent.

I really do.

I don't want that game. Id rather eat my shoes after standing in a dog log than play it. Id rather gouge my bellybutton out with a blunt, rusty stanley knife than insult my brain with that monotonous ritual torture.

Id rather gorge myself on someone elses puke or pull the giblets out of a live chicken or sit through titanic or complete train sim or be dragged through the streets naked on a skateboard by a granny on a moped than have to endure the pain and suffering of Delta Force on my eyes, mt machine would disown me and never work again.

I wouldnt wee on the disc if it was on fire, I wouldnt use it as a placemat for my least favourite mug, I wouldnt pick it up from the floor if it had a tenner sellotaped to it, I wouldnt throw it in the air in case it hit someone and they would have to tell doctors that their injuries were caused by it.

Howzat!

I was going to do some GAD thing, but seeing at it's only Delta Force, it would have to be a DAD compo.

There ain't anything faulty with the game, I would just rather try and shove N64 cartridges and a controller up my dog and play that.

I know! The person that posts the most insincere reason why they want a free rubbish game gets it.
Unless nobody does.

Come on, it's free you dirty hippies!

I'd normally always say 'Yes' to a free game, but I think a good home for that one might be Sniper, he likes that kinda game.

(He's into Red Alert and Unreal Tournament big time, and he's just upgraded his computer, so he's the perfect candidate for that particular freebie).
