To pass the time...

[Mr_Blastman]

I like most of ya'll here, really want to play this mod.  However, I accept that the developers should take their time to make it right.   So, I have to find something else to do to get my mech fix for the time being.

Seeing how this game has elementals in it versus mechs... I remember the last time I ever did this in a Mechwarrior game and it was 1.05/1.06 MW 2 Mercenaries w/NAIS on Mercnet.  A LONG TIME AGO, but it was fun. 

Well, I recently dug up my copy of _this_ game and loaded it up in dosbox, it works PERFECTLY, so I thought I'd share with ya'll what it is, and perhaps some remember it, some don't - but - let me just say it was freakin incredible back in the day.

Anyone else remember Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri ?

It _still_ is freakin incredible and a lot of fun.  It isn't battletech, but you get some robot action plus a great story and squadmates etc.

Here's the wiki:

I am delighted it works so perfectly with General Midi sound in dosbox.  You can't go wrong if you give it a try.  What else is everyone using to pass the time?

Damn I remember that game, had a demo back then and it was sadly unplayable on our comp...
I wanted to play it so bad but upgrading our pc was a no go :/

I cleared out all my old MC and MW games a year or 2 ago but I found a MechCommander Gold free ISO download ( http://mechcommander.org/ ) and gave it a run. Works fine for both SP and MP.

You can play it on http://www.reverbgaming.com and aside from a few minor things to tweak it seems to work great and I have played quite a few multiplayer games in the last few weeks. They have quite a few old CD based games (MCG, MC2, MW3, MW4, MW Veng. etc) and the MechCommander Gold lobby usually has from 10 -30 people on it, (I still find that amazing.)

Theres always a few people there to help you get setup if you're having problems connecting to a game.

It's an old game but hey....... it passes the time.

Ah hell yeah, Terra Nova.. there was a postmortem about this game a couple months back, really was ahead of it's time!
