    I’m also still playing in 2018.

    I recently built myself a retro PC, mostly from spare parts I found in the trash.
    Pentium 3 1.4GHz, Windows 98SE, GeForce 4 Ti4800, 1.5GB memory. 🙂

    It’s fun to play the game as it was intended. At 1024×768, with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
    Maybe it’s the skill I’ve acquired over the years, but the game seems to play much easier.

    I can’t exactly pin down why.
    Maybe the hit detection works better or there are less bugs in general. Or it’s just my imagination.

    Still haven’t finished the game, though. It still takes ages to travel to destinations and the game can be very unforgiving sometimes. Dying and having to do a whole mission again for half an hour sure isn’t the best part of I-War 2. 😉

    I transferred the domain from Soup at the 16th of December 2014.

    Time really flies.

    (I love that we have topics that are over 15 years old.)

    [quote=”IronDuke” post=20663]I love that background! It looks like the Drake system in the Gagarin cluster. :3[/quote]
    Got it from here:

    I only removed the stars for content areas so they don’t interfere with the text.
    That looked a bit horrible on the old design. 😛

    • Make the design responsive for tablets and smartphones
    • Change the background with media queries for really high resolutions

    Done and done. Enjoy.

    Sorry to make you sad, but…it has been canceled by Syfy a few days ago. So we will probably never get to see the last two seasons that were planned.

    Although the writer of the series tries to find a new home, but lets be realistic: SciFi is a niche and most likely no one will pick it up.

    Sadly, I have to vote No, because I would never use it. 🙁

    Never used Discord, but FYI:
    I already have a Mumble server running on this machine that can be used by anyone who wants to. 🙂

    Mumble is a nice VoiceChat program and apps for mobile devices exist, too. 😉

    If Atari ever decides to make a sequel, they should hire you. 🙂
