Good to have ya back Gavin. Just curious, any chance for a progress update?

Hi gav! Good to hear from you. You know if there is a need for some things to be done, than just say it. Something else is, i/we actually need your opinion about the botf database and the random events, and if you would like them in or not.

That it, i'm actually really tired at the moment, it feels as if i haven't slept for days..

Pc Gamer want to do a review? 8O

Wow! Just think, we could have a TRULY big hit on our hands! Pc gamer could get a lot of people interested in BOTF2 - and could even spark professional interest in the game...

It's good to hear you're back Gavin, and that's good news about the release date. I was expecting sometime around christmas, actually...

Glad to here that everything is going good in the programming dept. Good news with the release too, its always good to have a more or less concrete time to look forward to. When you say it will be released between now and Sept, I assume you mean the beta, right?

PC Gamer. Cool! If and when they decided to do a review, you gotta let us know when it will be in the mag Gavin.

I knew Microprose was gone (Bit obvious since they haven't exactly done many games of late...)

But what actually happened? Were they bought out, or did they just go bankrupt? Microprose shouldn't have gone - we could have had more BOTF before now...more Civ before Civ 3...more <whatever else they worked on>

It's SOO annoying when a games company just goes like that. I really don't like it when a new company takes over games development. Ok, I admit that it can be a good thing, new blood and all that, but something will always be lost in the new games.

That said, it's a shame that the same thing happened to Taldren as well (They worked on the Starfleet Command games before SFC3 came out) - I REALLY liked their logo!

Yeah nice logo. Someone know that font? Anyway it's quit normal that this happens in the industry. It's a hard world out there.

Anyway this game is free, this means that a lot of people will try it, because they will think. What the heck, it's free, i will just download it, and try it. And perhaps we can hook them up, so that we will have a massive online botf2 community.

I'd say F#&k you Atari, if it wasnt for the fact that I'm playing a fairly new, pretty good game made by them. Sid Meier's Pirates!. The new sequel to the old Pirates! series.

yeah it is fun, but i suck at dancing and cant pull a hot chick

I dont even bother with the dancing. Sneaking into hostile ports is a bitch too.

yeah.. iwulf already answered my question... btw.. i think thats lord of the rings font, dont have it tho

i also have pirates.. didnt have a chance to install it tho

btw.. did microprose make civilization by any chance ?

Civilisation was created by Sid Meier for Microprose, as I understand. Civilisation 2, as well.

I've got Civ2: Test of Time. That's was made by Microprose as well.

Civ3 is well and truly Infogrammes though. (Or Atari, whatever you want to call them)

ive got a bunch of civ2's and a bunch of civ3's
