As for "Elite"-style games, I'll always have a soft spot for [url=http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/]Escape Velocity[/url].
I'd be game for a new joystick-flying mission-based game, though, either in space or in air.
[B]Flight sims, too, seem to be lacking. Pretty much all I can think of that's new (or, rather, recently and consistently updated) is [url=http://www.x-plane.com/]X-Plane[/url], which is good, updated consistantly, and now has a "war games" function. It's still not as satisfying as "actually" blowing shit up on missions ans such, though.[/B][/QUOTE]
MSFS is also regularly updated. FSX is due out at the end of this year, and looks damn pretty.
Also,
Escape Velocity is why I got some of my older macs. I worship that game, the series as a whole. It's a wonderful, amazing, fun game to just pick up and play through.
[B]But MSFS isn't as flexible as the X-Plane line. It offers you some absolutely incredible aircraft and mind blowing scenery, but it stops there.[/B][/QUOTE]
That has absolutely no relevance to the fact that both X-Plane and MSFS are updated regularly. :)
And combat sims are...well, they just don't seem to exist anymore.
...like Beyond the Red Line!!!
Multiplayer and limited single-player demo coming soon!!!
[B]I'm a proud owner of FLII. It was a very worthwhile game that, back in the day, provided one of the best flying experiences you could get, with amazing terrain textures for the entire northern pacific US coast. [/B][/QUOTE]
F22 Lightning 2? Novalogic? Got it on my shelf to. Actually one of the last flightsims I actually enjoyed.
[B]I still play DiD's Total Air War when I feel like a combat sim. Best damn game I ever bought. [/B][/QUOTE]
I AGREE!!! That is still the ONLY Combat flight sim I can stand to play these days. Everything else just kinda...stinks.
I am excited for Spore, but that wont be for another 6 months at least.
Though a new Sam and Max sounds pretty damn cool.
other then that if it's not nintendo its not cool.
Just finished Paradise, shitty adventuregame.
[B]i haven't been excited about PC games for years. Nothing feels fresh at all anymore.

I could not agree more, games just dont excite me like they used to, i dont know if its because i'm older, or because i feel the quality of the games has gone way down, or even when they are high quality, its the same old idea over and over and over.

Thats the sequel to TLJ isn't it....
ugh i need to finish TLJ, you know what, i think i'll put it on my laptop tonite and play, hopefully i'll have time, these 12-18 hour days dont leave much time for games...
Ok, so i went to check out the dreamfall site, just to see if i'd be able to play it on the laptop when i get it after i finish TLJ.... no, it wont run on the laptop, no suprise there... but, my DESKTOP machine barely meets miniumum requirements! UGH, i may have to upgrade... i haven't had to upgrade my computer to play a game in a while, that used to be the main reason i upgraded my computers, IIRC my first upgrade ever, was upgrading my tandy 1000 from 256k to 640k of memory so i could play California Games...
