Asus+GeForce is the best possible solution... One thing must be said for honesty: ATI have better visual quality. But how much better could it be than a 6800 or my 5900?

err... i would point you towards the latest benchmarks... the one made with DOOM III

The Longest Journey Merits a bow *bows* Surely one of the best adventures ever made... more so because i like the "tone" it has... Anyway, i fear if we continue we would go a tad off-topic, so returning on Freespace... There *are* some things Mr. Smart said wich left me a bit "strange"... when he said he would *never* do a cut-scene... do you remember the wonderful intro of Freespace 1? or the movie wich presented the player the GTVA-Colossus? It gave me the chills, really. But, in the end, every developer has his style, and he must have the opportunity to work "his way"... if Mr. Smart says "planetary missions and no cut-scenes", so be it, the *only* important thing, in the end, is that it becomes a good game, not if it has cockpits, or cut-scenes, or all-hell-break-lose. My opinion, of course. P.S.: i guess we could talk, somewhere else, about Gothic 1 or 2, i'm one of the few with a "reason" behind the "i don't like it" phrase.

UHm... that's not real mature on their part... But... hey, let's not accuse the whole freespace community, i could also be defined as a freespace fan, but by no means would i harass someone even *before* he has done his work Moreover, i don't really understand all this hate for difficult games like UC or BC... there is Secret Weapons Over Normandy for casual flight sim gamers and Falcon 4.0 for the serious ones... I really, really don't understand all that hate... when i look at it it seems something like "They're too dumb to play these games so they, feeling humiliated by their inability to play UC/BC, have to say that it is a crappy game" Seems really like Esopo's tale... "the fox and the *thing used to make wine*"

Here is what i mean... will i find THIS inside the big box: A paper box like this one? Or a dvd-like box like this?

alt, wait, "normal cases" might be a clear answer for you, but not for me... here in italy, for some years now, we find games in *horrid* DVD-BOXES... USA edition boxes, instead, are usually in paper, with an opening cover... As i think i have stated, i would buy the american GOTY just for collectionism, thus i need to know exactly if it is worthy the price What do you mean, then, with "normal boxes"? Thanks again.

Greetings, I would like to know the *exact* content of the USA version of Morrowind Goty (for PC, not for X-BOX)... i'm considering buying it, but first i would like to know what i will get... Does it contain the usa paper boxes of the main game and three expansions? does it contain all three manuals? what about the map? Are there just the CDs? I guess you've understood what i want to know... Thanks for your time. And for your answer.

Well then, allow me to offer a bottle of :beer: as a sign of respect to the owner of an original copy of a masterpiece. Anyway, if you live in the US, it should be NTSC, i couldn't use it

Uhm... Freyar, so you have X-COM for playstation, right? Would you *coff* sell it? But wait... it is in NTSC format, right, not PAL?

Uh? X-BOX? What is this fuss about the X-BOX? Wasn't another title being developed for that console? Freespace 3 is for PC, yes? [following logic]Wait, Mr. Smart clearly stated keyboard and mouse control for Freespace 3 (like the originals), so it can't be for X-BOX but for pc. [/following logic] Geez, you almost made me get an heart attack.

well, i noticed that it is a tad faster than normal, but i found no difficulties whatsoever in intercepting ufos or sending promptly a task force on a terror site... would you try downloading "my" version of X-COM? It is the exact same as the one i use with no problems... perhaps you have yet another version wich isn't too optimized for modern systems? (Although it seems strange). http://sismetto.web.ctonet.it/x-com.zip This is the one... i hope it helps.

No, not really... the windows version is already slowed down, what you need to do is go into che options screen in battle mode (click on the "?", it is one of the icons), and set a lower speed from there. Having a P4 2.8 i am *certain* the game is already slowed down, since it runs perfectly after i lower the speed from the options menu.

Also I (personaly) think the artwork is better looking. Oh, well, the important thing, in the end, is that one of them get finished and is faithful to the original, wether "mine" or "yours" A group of people is also making a "clone" of Master of Magic wich is able to run on windows machines.

This one's better. http://www.projectxenocide.com/
