I have been using a Microsoft Optical Wheel mouse.  The ergonomics were
not perfect, but it was a light mouse and had fairly good responsiveness.
It tracks a bit when you pick it up, so you have to raise it higher than a
ball mouse where basicly all you do is take pressure off the ...

I have an old dell dimension 4100 that I'm doing some upgrades so it
can last me a few more years. After upgradind hard drive to an 80GB
and the Video Card to a Radeon 9200SE, I think the one last thing I
can upgrade without major investment is the CPU. I currently have a

I bought one and it had a heat sink, but no fan. My puter was crashing
during particularly intense battle scenes in a FPS combat flight sim
(Yager) that I traced to the video card over-heating. I've ordered an
auxiliary fan for the card. Does anyone have a 9200 that came with a

CAn't find the link right now but I'm sure if you go to Eidos' homepage
you'll find it. apparantly it's the turorial and the mission immediately
following it.

Went back to 4.3 and all is sweet now, why i have NO IDEA.
Anyone have probs with 4.5 ?
Thanks.

Well, contrary to pre-release reports, it appears as though a Thief: DS demo
will be released soon. Good, guys I really think you Thief fans will enjoy
this third game in the series.

Anyone else have it play in super fast motion?  It only happens ever know
and then (actually more so then not), but all the animations (torch
flickereing, walking, creeping etc) are *really* fast. It's almost like
playing an old Dos game that would need Slo-Mo.   *Wonders to himself ...

I've just doubled my ram and upgraded my graphics card to give my 3 year old
computer a few more years of usefulness, and I'd like to do the same with
the audio card as I've discovered that it, too can have an effect on game
performance.

My old Dell dimension is too slow, so I am planning to get a bland new
system. I pretty much have decided on the graphic card (ATI X800 Pro)
and monitor (IBM 22" C220P) and CPU (P4 3GHZ), and Audigy
2/512MB/120GB/DVD-RW, but in terms of the overall machine I am still

It's too expensive.
Went to buy it today, saw 2 games I was excited about 4 months ago now at
$24.99, bought those instead.  Sorry Thief 3 but I'm a cheapskate, I'll buy
you in 4 months or so.

Are there any flat panel screens that are suitable for use with action games
or do they all smear?
What is the maximum response time that is acceptable? Dell has a 20 inch
unit with a 16 ms response time, but it's like $900.

last i played,was operation wolf,with the mounted uzi`s on the
cabinet,(about 1992 ish i think) 50p a go.
what is the state of arcade coin op action games these days?
desert.

I picked up this game used for $7 last weekend and I'm having a blast with
it. I'm really surprise that this game didn't get very much attention when
it came out. The graphics are fantastic, the character animation is great
(ragdoll physics and all) The gameplay is a lot of fun. ...

I love the moment when I first load up a new game and I enter the game world
for the first time. Everything's new and unfamiliar, I don't know where I am
or what's around the next corner or over that hill. I don't know any cheat
codes or tricks or AI behaviour loopholes.

Background: I had an old PC that I ran my favourite games on - Alien
Trilogy, Die Hard, Indiana Jones, The Dig etc. etc. That old PC died,
so I xfer'd those games to my new(er) PC, not without problems. Most
of which I've got around, but Alien Trilogy is giving me serious
