"PC GAMING - Longest thread"

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. :)

I don't think I've heard of Peace maker or nations before, so couldn't say exactly what the problem is. The more likely thing which is wrong, is that those two games are old, and the joystick you have is pretty modern.

It's a software/hardware difference, basically the older the games the less chance you have of playing them on modernd hardware. This is just an assumption though, so I could be wrong.

"joystick"

People just weren't thinking when they came up with that.

Aha! found your week spot have we IB?

And on a gaming note was in PC GAmz 4U other day and purchased X-Wing Collectors Series (3 Games) for £14.99 along with Flying high (a 3CD Rom pack containing - Peace Maker
F22
Nations
Which was £9.99, but had sale on so got 1/2 off cheapest! All for £20. Bargain or what. My Joystick has never been so busy! Or so I thought. The X-Wing stuff works Ok but the others have problems. I've got F22 working and have been told that Nations will not work with my "New" Joystick. As for Peace maker????? Anybody got any Ideas? Answers on a postcard please!

Beach Life is a game which interests me at the moment, I wasn't aware it was out yet though. Is the game any good, or is it just a bog standard management game?

has anyone got Beach life on pc

Unfortunately, nobody associates the word 'Spam' with tinned meat anymore, it's used as part of Internet speak. Blame whoever created the Internet for this travesty.

SPAM!

I haven't had Spam for ages. Used to get it for school dinners covered in batter, does anybody remember that or am I just an ageing fossil? Otherwise it came in square tins that you had to open with a key attached to the bottom of the tin, attach it to a tag at the side and then wind the key round the tin! Oh what fun! If you were lucky you only gave your thumb a bad cut with the sharp edge of the tin,If you were unlucky you would slice the end off your willy! Happened to me all the time...and I've still got lots left!:-)

And what happened to PEK? Stewed in it's own juices! bit like me really but would you believe am sober tonight?

just as well I never bought it then :D

I don't think this longest thread has been spammed up much, especially when you look at the PS1/2 longest thread. Much of what has been discussed here are just random things about PC gaming and other things that interest people.

And Mr Ripper; I've never played Birth of the Federation, though I'm not really in to Star Trek games much, the only decent one I've played is Elite Force, but that's not much cop compared to other FPS out at the moment.

I did try a demo of Away Team once, and wasn't too impressed with it. It's a commandos type game, you can tell from the amount of things the game has copied from said title. It's got dull looking graphics, no real stratagy, and is just far too boring. Even though it's real time, it's still too slow.
