[drupal=399]Currently Hurling Controllers / Mice At… Demos and Things[/drupal]

It’s been a few weeks since we last hurled peripherals at unsuspecting games, so it’s about time for another installment. After the absolute insanity that was the holiday season, it’s a bit strange to be back at “only” two or three big AAA releases a month. But, somehow, we’ll manage to cope.
In this installment, Richard Ham hobbits his way through Lord of the Rings: Conquest, Ed plays with Men of War, and Jamie totally na-na-na-na-na’s everyone in Rock Band 2. Take a look:

Richard ‘Rahdo’ Ham (Creative Director):
World of Goo is incredible. If I had played it last year, it would have been my game of the year. But I didn

I want to play more toot toot trains with MoP!!! Sure, Civ is pretty great, but nothing beats the capitalistic rush of OpenTTD. I’d sure like to get another game going on a larger map some time!!

Wow, how did I miss out on Transport Tycoon Deluxe back in the day? I never played that one but I like it’s look! I did play a large boatload of Roller Coaster Tycoon (the original) though, but that didn’t come out until the modern year of 1999. Loved to build coasters that hardly any of the park patrons would dare to get on, and those that did would usually end up hurling as soon as they got off. Had to keep a park janitor near ride exits for clean up. :stuck_out_tongue:

Transport Tycoon is a classic, definitely worth checking out.
Just don’t play with Fishbus straight away, his train loops are evil :rolleyes:

That’s the tiniest screenshot ever!

Even on my netbook, it definitely is uber tiny!

Not my fault you have teeny tiny attachment laws!

It might be tiny, but i can understand already what i see.

That’s some nice traintracks you got there :wink: But my “Berlin Trainway To Hell” was as close to this, i just wish that I would still have the saved game so i could show off :frowning:

Any train crashes happened on your railway?

No crashes, just perfect harmony! There’s so many trains on the track though that there’s a lot of queues at the drop off areas. One you master some of the really sweet presignal tricks you can make 4 lane tracks without trains stopping at all to let other merge!

That’s good, since i usualy ended up with a couple of train collisions, as i discovered my train light system had some flaws in it. But you learn from your mistakes.

I never managed to make a railway system so there would never be waitlines. Did you master it?

I saw you talking about transport tycoon and couldnt resist to try it myself :smiley: heheh… Its a nice game (though I played it 30 mins).
I played all Roller coaster tycoons. Just love those Chris Sawer games (or whatever its written, same spelling).
I also played Airport Tycoon 1 and 3, they get boring sometimes, though…
I think its not need to mention I played Doom (all of them). Second part was the best (maybe because I played it 4 years old).
Also all of the quakes.
Doh, how could I forget Wolf3d, prince of persia 1, supaplex and cd man?
And something not so widely known: Hexen 2.
Needless to say I have a classic bagage :P.
Btw, anyone wants to play doom 2 on net?

(Pegazus) #14

Tycoon games are fun, i use to love Airport Tycoon games, but the newest one was just horrible. The flight system was messed up.
Wolf3d, lol i remember when i saw the map of the layout, was full of swastika

by CD do you mean Sega CD? If yes, then well i got no words to describe it… :frowning:

I’m intrigued by Lord of the Rings Conquest, will it play on an ion netbook like the 311. It does seem to have some scathing reviews but I love Tolkien inspired games and Pandemic Studios seem to have recreated the Middle Earth vibe well.
