Pyros Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 *Sigh* another games company goes down, Cavedog who created my favourite forms of strategy has gone down, I don't know how or why but just like the loss of Looking glass technologies it makes me feel like we are loosing more and more of the ideas people and they seem to always be replaced by bean counters .As a game player it worries me, I see a future where mega corps like Hasbro publish only the formula games with accountants as production leaders.Who can we blame, I do feel that piracy definetly plays its part in hurting the small guys.I for one will miss these companies and wonder what great games would be created with them still around. RIP Cavedog 1995 to 25th August 2000 I think the best epitaph is a quote from there own site: "Cavedog Entertainment was created to explore interactive gaming and to create new standards of fun." RIP Looking Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phased Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 Personally, TA is my all time favorite game. BC is up there too, but TA is at the top. I don't think I've ever fired up a skirmish and not been drawn in to the battle that will soon rage on my computer. Fear not my fellow commanders! The battle will continue to rage on! For all of you who still play TA, you can get all new units here http://www.taucc.com/ 90 plus units here. Just make sure you get the Tomcat. Nothing brings to fear of god to core vermin like the Tomcat.Cavedog may be gone, but they left us with one hell of a game to remember them by. Too bad it was overshadowed by that POS Starcraft.------------------ Commander Phased GCV Indomitable ICQ 125478 "Follow me if I advance, kill me if I retreat, avenge me if I die!"

Guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 Ditto on the thank you Phased!! I've put more time into playing TA LAN games then any other game's total play time (SP+MP+Whatever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyros Posted August 30, 2000 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 Thankyou Phased, just finished downloading them all, me and my sadistic core playing wife are going to be trying out all these units against each other tonight.I am getting a little worried though I mean I've seen my wife destroy every car in carmagedon two, waste many a monster in Everquest, terminate many a player in UT with the resounding shouts of Headshot/Godlike/Ultrakill and the loving reception I recieved when she uncloaked behind me in klingon academy yelling DISRUPTORS FIRE!!, I just wonder do I really want to be in the same multiplay universe as her with her commanding a battle cruiser, I mean SC do you have any idea of the trouble she could cause (especially after she looked through the screenshots and was commenting on the weaponry available).

Phased Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Pyros, just get a squadron (12) of the Tomcats together and supprise the wife. Just set them on a patrol close to her, but out of range of the flak cannons, set your tom-kittys to fire at will, then turn to her and yell "GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!"------------------ Commander Phased GCV Indomitable ICQ 125478 "Follow me if I advance, kill me if I retreat, avenge me if I die!"

Pyros Posted August 31, 2000 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Don't worry about me, I feel sorry for the enemy both me and my wife love co-oping My only problems are keeping myself occupied till it comes out, although the Ta units are giving us some big laughs.Take care all.

Eclipse Posted September 5, 2000 Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 Thanks, for the link. Even though I don't really play TA much anymore, I do try to keep all the units. Might even reinstall it if I ever make it out of this college alive ------------------ Cmdr.
