Yep that's right, there's been scores of these starting up, but all have failed. Let's make this thread a place for PC gamers to chat. Post anything you like in here, comments, reviews, but no spam please.

OK, lets keep this going gamers. For beige box and country!!
Or something like that. :)

Don't generalize. That's just the picture you glean from what slight experience you actually have of America along with traditional stereotype. How would you like them to accuse you of being a spotty, pale-faced geek.

Not all Americans are cocky, not even the majority. Which says a lot about people who unthinkingly and freely throw about sweepingly inaccurate accusations.

You've got to remember Americans are cocky idiots. They say their country is great, yet much of it is a dump.

Thats the yanks for you though, underestimating a supposedly weaker foe because they have supirior air power. The question is, did they learn from it?

You see they made the mistake of fighting the Vietnamese on their on turf and also they had been fighting for 20 years before the yanks came into it, so they had all the tunnels built and stuff.

Airplanes, tanks, well equiped and well armed soldiers Vs ill equiped, underarmed but determined farmers.

The Americans just probably didn't want to be reminded of how they got their @rses kicked by a small country.

What I find funny, and somewhat strange if that Americans get cut down games as well. For Vietcong us brits where treated to the full swearing and blood letting that the game has to offer, while in the US these where cut out. Seem odd to me since we've supposed to have the strictest rating system in the world, or at least we did.

.....Ah! S*d it!.....

the reason the Germans can't buy such games is that they prefer the real McKoy!

"Hmmm! Lets play Soldier of Fortune tonight my Libefhartenstrudel"
"Nine, lets invade poland instead"

sort of thing....
