Well, here my 0.02 worth! Went ot local EB yesterday, picked up CIV III, (not much sleep last night), and asked the manager about BCM. He wasn't too busy, so he said wait a few minutes, looked at his computer console and made a telephone call. Came back a few minutes later and said, " EB was expecting BCM to be in stores, Thursday, Nov 15th." That was the new date he got from his computer console and phone call. Now, he said in stores, so if that is the next target date, so be it. Then he went on to explain the process of why it was taking so long and I am paraphrasing him: Well, you know Derek Smart is an independent developer, 0jstuart)(yes I know that), so he doesn't have the big bucks and extensive workforce. (jstuart)Yup, I know that. Mr. Smart is proably putting together all the final product in his home with his family members as the workforce. That's why its taking a little extra time. I thought a decent enough explanation. Or just a interesting story. But, thats a interesting way of keeping costs down SC, make the family do the work! Then again, maybe the guy didn't have a clue of what he was talking about or did he! Just a story to pass along. [ 11-04-2001: Message edited by: jstuart ]

You wouldn't have to arrest him. Depending on the audience or mix of people involved in the discussion or protest; some people may get pissed off at his comments. If that happens, then some people may or will take him out back near the woodshed and exact there own form of punishment. Does it make it right for beating the crap out of someone for expressing his or her own feelings and beliefs, no not really! But after hearing this individuals thoughts, its sounds like he has a problem with the people and policies of the US! My solution would close to what SC said, but first a trip to the local woodshed with some rednecks might also be applicable!

I believe the SC answered this question some time ago. You would have to put win2k into a dos compatability mode, and then you would need a special sound program for that and then also a mouse driver for that. I don't remember the particulars, you would have to do a search. I believe some people did get it to work though! Good luck!

Yes it did

Sentinel Worlds, that thing had more bugs than Starship Troopers had in the movie. Some old games, huh, how about: Bards Tale, Mech Brigade, and one of my alltime favories Wasteland!

Starflight was a old PC game, actually around 1984 or 1985 I believe. Also made it to CGW Hall of Fame. I don't recall if it made it to Nintendo!

I await confirmation and your response.

Can someone please tell me how long it will be until we begin the "Countdown to the Final Coutdown"? Just a question?

OMG, how did you found this site! But, it may not be that far off

Congrats! Now you can test all the games for free!

Got take a look at MOO 3. I believe it will take you a few steps farther than the previous 2 titles did! Interface, and management of assets and politics and economics is simply incredible!

If your talking about EB fulfillment center(the main one), last time I remember it was in or around West Chester, PA. That used to be there there main shipping and distribution center, but that was a few years ago. I don't know if taht is still main center. Now, the fulfillment center that SC is talking about, I don't know Your guess is as good as mine!

I kinda thoughtso SC. But that's why i hoped one of the veterans or yourself replied.

something like that almost happened to me. We called our local phone company, had a one-time charge(I am not sure what you call it), but we can not be billed for any other phone provider or have our service switched changed or rerouted for whatever reason. Almost pays to have have my father has a retired 2nd level supervisor also! That is, retired from this Baby bell, now SBC Communications. [ 10-05-2001: Message edited by: jstuart ]

Well, never saw an error like that. Is this demo 1 or demo 2? Make sure you read the demo faq. Try and have the latest video drivers for your video card and sond card. The drivers should be direct X 8 compatible. BTW, what are your sysytem specs: Windows Os: ? Make and model of Video card an version of drivers: ?

If the product ships on the 15th, you should have it by the 17th. If the product is suppose to be in stores on the 15th, then it should ship on the 11th or 12th(15th being a monday, it would a extra day since there is a sunday involved). Hey, few days left! I would suppose only the SC knows when production stops and shipping begins And to my knowledge, BMT Micro and EbGames or Electronics Boutique, are 2 different companies. The only reason I say that is I used to be a manager of a EB store a few years ago.

Who said spreading a little love doesn't hurt anyone! Must replay in a comtimnous loop!

SC, so, if you had say 10 Mandorians, who were actually independents, they could ban together make a Mandorian Fleet? Not that I am interested, but is that correct?

You could have the SC do an interview. Then the SC could take questions from the audience and then questions from phone calls! If things go well, a spot on Larry King Live! Nah, probably not, SC is too busy programming, writing his memoirs, fending off rifraft like(shirley), besides SC is waiting for another countdown to start!
