The ESRB sucks because it encourages censorship and often forces
publishers to change game content to meet a given rating.  Look at Medal of
Honor or Battelfield.  Neither game has any kind of blood in it, let alone
gore.   You would think a game about WWII would at least give ...

POLL: Do you still play DOS games and how?
This is a three question poll for the comp.sys.ibm.pc.games

  I see NVidia is now pushing SLI even for the regular 6600 graphics cards,
the ones with only 500 MHz DDR, 9 gigabytes bandwith.   What are they
thinking?   Are 2 GeForce 6600 LE cards really going to deliver the
performance of even one GeForce 6600 GT card (which has about 16 ...

typical, if something warrants being sold in licensed premises, they'd

I posted Grand Theft Auto San Andreas for PC on eBay and they ended it
because it was for "Mature Audiences" Well, they sent me a link to sell
mature material, but it still wouldn't let me list it. They said it was too
explicit. How stupid is that??? I mean with a modded game, it ...

Is DOD Source just going to be Counterstrike w/different weapons/uniforms?
Will it have driveable vehicles? Or is just the old DOD w/better graphics?

Novalogic produced/published both games. Didn't they do Terra Nova? I'm just

guessing they have their own.

Does anyone know of any stores that rent PC games near Tempe or the
nearby east valley of Arizona?
The only place I knew about that rented PC games in Tempe appears to
have gone out of business. All I can find in the phonebook are places

 I am in level 11 (Surface Tension (the really long, difficult one)) past
the point where you blow up a tank with a Gauss Cannon and in the second
level of a building near a storage room door which the Security Guard is
supposed to open for me. However, he doesn'[t, and nothing ...

With the release of Battlefield 2, bugs and all, can we now say that
the time for Team Fortress 2 has passed?  BF2 seems to be everything
that TF2 was promised to be, but TF2 is still vapor.
TF2 is dead, long live BF2!

Anybody had any joy with this? On my system it runs fine for a while
than starts pixelating then horrible radiating lines start forming - a
bit like a smashed mirror, then it hangs the whole box.
I'm running FarCry with 1.32 patch and the latest nVidia drivers on

Hey all,
I am on the last leg of old regular MOHAA on exit from the mustard
gas underground (Schmertzen?)... I get total insanity with no way out
with about 8 Nazi soldiers shooting at me from all directions, this is

 My CPU usually runs around 40 degrees (C) at idle, and about 50-55 under
load.  The chipset is passively cooled with a large heatsink and runs around
32-34 degrees.  My graphics chip (GeForce 6600 GT, Gigabyte, copper
heatsink/heatpipe only) seems to idle at 55-58 degrees and ...

Ok, so it's not exactly cutting edge, but I'm having an absolute ball
with this game. Can anyone beat 1184.5?
