Wow Syn, u managed to get that game going on a TNT1? Was it decent or terribly slow? What res did you run it at?

Finally captured all 4 of 'em little buggers. They're such a jerk

The next level following that is crazy I tell ya. Those monsters just wanna eat you up and spit you out

They look so scary I tell ya. Almost finished the level then the damn system hung on me, doh!

Know any cheats?

Of course, not gonna use 'em right away, that'll take all the fun away, but you know, just as a last resort kinda thing

hehe

Yeah plucky it runs but looks like crap.I only played the first couple missions to get an idea how the game was gonna be.

I got a okay system(800Mhz T-bird[not overclocked],K7Tpro2-A,128mb pc133).I am just having to use a backup card for a while until my new one gets here.

Well I am playing it now. I WAS playing it.

While the game is cool, it crashes more than any game I have played to date. So much so that it has ruined it for me. Also this is a game for the patient. No saves, meaning you screw up, you start that level all over again (and no save feature planned in the future). Can be a bit of a bummer. Cuss alot? You will with this game.

A patch is supposed to be released maybe today (Monday)that addresses these crashes. I sure hope so because I can't play until I get it, that's how bad the crashes are.

Really? I haven't gotten any crashes with the game so far...maybe I'm just lucky eh

Yeah the game should have checkpoints where we don't have to restart the mission all over again from the beginning...

I don't mind though cause its an action shooter and I like blowing those mofo ugly lookin' creatures outta the blue, er yellow, heaven skies

I continued to play some more ... the no-save feature is ok in my eyes, you might cuss some but feel great when you finish another mission.

Does the Millenium Gun kick a$$ or what ?
I still have to figure out a way to strategically use the other 2 meccaryns that I found so far ... encountered Kabuto for the first time but now I need a faster setup to continue, can't stand 800x600 any more (oh so sweet gfx).

And the cutscenes keep me ROTFLMAO, hehe, prolly another contender for GOTY 2000 in my eyes.

I have no problems on my PII 504/CLAP , playable at 800x600x32 high details for most of the time but I need more horsepower to enjoy the game at highres.

Did I mention the hillarious cutscenes ? You have to see'em.

No crashes here either(got the V5).Wish i had a card with T&L support though(why did i sell my Radeon again??).Great game so far and the cutscenes are funny indeed Doc.

Oh yeah, no doubt man, those cutscenes kicka$$!

God, I'd really hate to kill those Rippers and Vimps, but then again, there's an abundant of them everywhere, so heck why not?!

Fire AWAY!!!
