well Tribes 1 and TA can be played...

maybe we will fire up some starcraft :p

but there will also be a ps2 there (provided there is a tv or projection for it)

I will also bring my second system to be used as a dedicated server.......maybe for ut2k3 or something.

Good Good Good..

Post by eGoCeNTRoNiX »

That's good to know. I just hope it all goes in without a hitch. All the parts are new so it should be good. On another note.. I have only found 1 copy of Tribes anywhere on the net. It's 9.00 from some dude on eGay, but it doesn't have ANY manuals.. Do they have it somewhere in PDF format so I can download it before I buy this game and I'm completely lost as to what keys to what, and I'm not missing something that I could be doing that is easily learned about in the manuals? Or maybe somebody doesn't play it anymore and wants to get rid of it for the cost of shipping w/all manuals included? The other game mentioned Total Annihilations.. I've found Total Annihilation Kingdoms.. Is this the same thing? LMK eGo
