ahh this was the start of the rest of my life-
My first online wargame-
made some good buddies whilst it lasted- if your still out there
John Brown, Canuck , Molotov (oh how we laughed at his ping from his 54kb modem but learnt well under his Russian/Czechoslovakian tutelage ) was fun and we got into making new maps for it. I even made a fully explorable submarine that actually fired torpedos too for it!
This became my new box of toy soldiers. unlimited vehicles , men, imagination. set them up , then get a few friends to run around it shooting things alongside yourself. ahhhhh
but then of course Games advance and Hidden and dangerous 2 arrived,followed by expansion pack Sabre Squadron which opened up even more multiplayer mayhem for which I lost my real life and died a thousands deaths. And Ive been addicted to war gaming ever since- call of duty, red orchestra,medal of honour.brothers in arms,battlefield series and so on.
Of course I loved the sci fi arts as well, and loved the work in battlefront 2 , the modded bf42 empire)(tried lucas arts new star wars thing(currently forgotten name)didnt like it much) and so I guess all of things have inspired me to create a red dwarf themed battleground. (oh and starshiptroopers was good too(always had crappy machines at the times to play them slowly. dam technology everytime I catch up you run away from me again.(actually using a pretty good pc for a few years now(realising that 4 or 5 years is pretty ancient in pc times now)(man Ive bought dozens of new machines every few years- cant wait til they build the ceiling specs and no further upgrades are needed- what a waste of resources) ahem rant over
