finished about 6 missions now, I like how the morphing ability has been added, game is basicly same idea as Anomaly 1 but the morphing stuff makes for a good change.

1992 Might and Magic: Cloud of Xeen installed, played, loved it, finished it, send the score to an address in the usa and few weeks later got the certificate from King Burlock thanking me for helping rescue Crodo and defeat Lord Xeen.

1993 Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen, during install it found "Cloud of Xeen" and made "World of Xeen"... that was so cool back then Finished the game, send the score to an address in the usa and few weeks later got the certificate from The Dragon Pharaoh thanking me for defeating Gheltem.

Don't think anything will ever bring back the nerd in me like getting those 2 certificates lol

Both Americas? Maybe things have changed since I studied geography but I'm pretty certain I would have heard if there was another America.

On this side of the pond if someone says "both americas" then they mean north and south. And since the document was in polish for themselves its pretty clear

uake III Arena came out in 1999. That would be well before Linux had caught on with anyone outside of the zealot and admin crowds.[/quote:

I guess the question would be whether the situation is significantly different now.

you know what they did back then ? they released a windows version which even Linux people should buy (thus counting as windows sales), then these linux people can dig through their website and find the FTP link for the linux client..... indeed I wonder why that did not work so great

I had no idea Ego was porting stuff to Linux, though I have to wonder why they picked Reunion rather than any of the follow-up titles.

Creston

LGP published this for Linux many years ago (2008 if I remember correct) , however their contract with Ego has expired, now I am not sure if Ego ported it themselves again but I more have the feeling they simply took the LGP port (http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/)

why so much attention to this game, because of Molyneux ? I would rather see something like Forsaken Fortress get a little bit of attention, its so close to making/not making it... they can use the PR more then molyneux... ymho

Pledged. Damn, my kickstarter use is closely resembling Prez's Steam use, gotta buy them all!

Damn, that looks fun. Funded!

Did anyone send this in to Blue yet? Screw Peter, I'd rather see this than Godus (which will be made regardless).

send it a while back, sadly was not posted, or I missed it

I ran across Thorvalla yesterday, that looks like a more promising RPG to me, with Neal Hallford (Betrayal at Krondor) and Guido Henkel (Planescape: Torment and Fallout 2), they asking for a lot which giving the scope of the game sounds realistic.

Looks somewhat interesting, but with 19 days remaining and not even 50k raised of 1 million goal, it doesn't look as if it's going to make it short of a major earth quake. It's an interesting side of Kickstarter, really.. Get off to a slow start and you're screwed, because only the biggest enthusiasts are going to bother chipping in when a project seems unlikely to reach- or exceed its funding goal.

Meanwhile, it seems like GODUS will make it. A more modest goal than the above, but still, it's surprising to me that people are actually backing that one with Peter Molyneux name being attached to the project.

totally agree, amazing how things you personally feel you should stay away from take of like a rocket (like godus) and others which really interest you don't even get to 10%.

but things can change fast on kickstarter, Forced also looked not to make it and then bang it went into overdrive
