  1. It's not But normally it should work. i never complaint on the quality
  2. Yep, I use BFME which came with DirectX 9.0c. But it still came out with the error msg Damn.
  3. Woot! Today's is someboddy's birthday Happy bday!!
  4. The game keep saying that it did not detect DirectX9 setting But I have install DirectX9. Does this game needs more requirement than Battle For Middle Earth?
  5. Now that PSP has been released, it is not a hype anymore. I have make comparison between DS and PSP, testing a few games and I really prefer PSP albeit the expensive price. THe games in PSP are much much more superior compare to DS's games. Graphic is one thing. Gameplay is another. DS is full of kiddies game.
  6. You are lucky I have to go through major tests all my life. Now that I have start working, I have take a vow, NEVER to take tests again.
  7. I would tell you that without the walkthrough, I would not have complete this game thanks!
  8. i prefer Lei because of his variety of moves Remind me of Jackie Chan of old
  9. I dun know what to do next. I have: 4 chinese characters incense photo of male photo of female paper with hair (which I burnt to reveal no. from dies. lighter medicine bottle beer. Yup, I dun know what to do next
  10. I think microsoft's decision to come out with XBox 2 make sense. Average consumer's mindset is anything new will be better. If PS3 is coming out, and if Microsoft did not follow up with their own XBox successor, Xbox will lose out and have their market size shrinken. Good move by Micro$oft to counter $ony
  11. For a moment I thought that the dark figure in his avatar was Link from Wind Waker. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He/she changes the avatar! It suppose to be nekid man and woman
  12. I have never play Dark Forces before but Jedi knight is cool. But still, TIE is the BEST Star Wars game ever. I would rank all Star Wars game that I have ever played as this: 1. TIE Fighter 2. Jedi Knight 3. X-Wing (the difficulty is really punishing) The rest is just mediocre or craps (who want to fly a Naboo starfighter? ) EDIT: It seems that I don't get much feedback for this We must be very old to talk about this game
  13. Your avatar is...errr....very suggestive
  14. What's the difference? You should steal a lesbian's heart with your prick
  15. Game: Tie Fighter System: PC Emulators: Duh?!? Do I have to answer this? Intro: It was 1993 when Lucas Arts released X-Wing. Immediately, my childhood life is never the same again with my time spent on shooting down those pesky TIE Fighters all the time. In 1994, Lucas Arts did the impossible, by releasing TIE Fighter, giving you a chance to serve the Emperor and Darth Vader. And I found myself been shooting Rebel scums ever since. Tie Figther is a space flight sim with a little story and action thrown in. You will be in the shoes of a rookie pilot, piloting one of the seven spacecrafts available,fighting the Rebels and complete missions for the Emperor. The story happens right after the Battle Of Hoth. And it will take you to numerous places that you might recognise. You will see familiar spacecrafts as your opponents like X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, Shuttles, Frigates and so on. You will be ordered to do missions after missions while helping the Emperor to check on his own subjects. You can even fly together with Darth Vader!(Just don't try to issue any orders to him!) The version that I am currently playing is the TIE Fighter Collector CD Rom Version, with upgraded sound and some graphical upgrade. Graphics: Graphically, this game is amazing, 10 years ago. Although you can't compare it with today's standard, it is still top notch. The graphics is polygon-based and was rendered quite beautifully. And all the spacecrafts are quite detailed and you know what it represent. Meaning X-Wing looks like X-Wing, TIE Fighter look like TIE Fighter and Star Destroyer look like STAR Destroyer. The cut scenes are well done enough. Most impressive is the details during the space combat. You will see space debris flying past you, lasers passing you, nearly clipping your wings, the enormousity of Star Destroyer and its awesome power and so on. With the current standard machine more than capable of handling the graphical requirement, it is really an amazng experience when you are engaging in a furious dogfight, with all the Rebels and Imperial forces meshed together. Visually stunning. Graphics : 10/10 (even for the dated graphics, 10 for being able to convey the awesomeness of Star Wars universe to the player) Sound: Star Wars game is Star Wars game. So, expect all the familiar John Williams' scores are in. The Imperial March is pretty impressive. All the music are there so no complain there. ANd the sound effects are really top notch. You will hear the wooshing of the laser sounds as it passes you, or the sound of X-Wings zipping passes you. Standard Star Wars sound as I say and considering this is a 10 years old game, it is amazing Sound : 10/10 (i think the sound is even better than Battlefront in some cases) Control: In the floppy version, you can use the mouse to control the spacecrafts. For the CD-Rom version, it requires a joystick at all costs. I think it is a good move because you will be having a terrible time trying to make a turn using the mouse (I do that 10 years ago:P). And as a space flight sim, TIE fighter has complex control. You will have buttons to set the rate of laser recharge, how you want to place the shield around your spacecraft, the speed, targeting the enemies. But it is easy to learn up and in case you forget, you could always bring up the command list during in-game by pressing "k". With the complex control, it really give you the feeling of piloting an actual spacecraft. With shorcuts, you can also issue commands to your wingmen (which is quite common now in most multi-player FPS game). The responsiveness depends on the joystick that you use. With this game, I don't feel any lagging in the response and it really helps especially in tight situation. THe usage of joystick and keyboard together is a nice experience. Menu-wise, it is a nice change. Instead of getting a boring menu table to select, you have a whole space station (or is it inside a Star Destroyer) as menu. Choosing the door will move you to the area you wish to go. Mission-wise, you can choose to talk to officers for flight objectives or look at the mission board for briefing. It keeps the navigating between missions or area interesting. Control : 10/10 (make you feel like you are really piloting a TIE) Gameplay: We have come to the most important part of the game. And this is the part where TIE Fighter shines. First of all, this game has a storyline. THe game will start normally. You will be doing what a normal Imperial pilot will do; patrolling, guarding shipment, capture Rebels or attacking a squadron of Rebels. As the game progress, the story will unfold and you will discover new twists and unexpected events. A normal patrolling mission might become a capturing mission or a mission to destroy a frigate as the missions progresses. This kind of unexpected events really spice up the whole game and make you keep coming back for more as you want to complete these extra events. You get to pilot in seven spacecrafts. You have the normal TIE Fighter (which you will use quite often), TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber, TIE Defender, Assault Gunboats and TIE Advanced. In the final parts of the game, you also get to fly a new version of TIE. Each spacecraft handle differently and with different attributes to it. You can also choose which missiles to be loaded to your ship. With so many spacecrafts to master, rest assured that you will be playing this game for quite some time. The difficulty of this game is not as punishing as X-Wing but the AI is quite good. In fact, it is so good that you will find it is hard to outmaneuver some of the enemies, especially those pesky A-Wing. But overall, it is still in accpetable level and didn't really affect your enthuasism to finish this game. In fact, you will strive to improve your skills even more. Only one downside, Imperial foces outnumbers by the Rebels?!? please... Gameplay : 10/10 (You will keep coming back for more) Overall, I will give the game a 10/10. A really perfect space flight sim, which is unrivalled even to today. I give this game
  16. That is the one telling how Kakashi get the Eye? Wow, boring.
  17. "Concurrent Versions System". It's a system developed for managing these sorts of projects - especially when there's several developers working on the codebase at once. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the info.
  18. I think PSP score in the mobility department . I would choose PSP rather than DS But it is still flocking expensive at my area. USD$500??? WTF?!?
  19. Nintendo has clearly said over and over again the DS is not even considered a handheld to them. They dont even believe the DS is in the same market as the PSP. To them the gba is still contending the PSP as they are waiting for the next GB... whats so confusing about that? its been said over and over. Think of the ds as u did the virtual boy.. its a inovative system that really isnt ment to take over for the GB... its like they are testing the market. Did VB last no? cause it sucked. The DS is another offbranch as well but isnt as bad. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> None of the game in DS really interest me. I think the Mario series and the Zelda series, not to mention Pokemon has been getting really stale. But I dun understand the Japs. The sales indicate that they really like the series. Go figure.
  20. The older game might be SUper Mario DS. It is banking on the heart and memories of those live in the past years, perhaps?
  21. I just notice too. Angel from U.A.E. Salam! But dun talk Arabic to me. I only know "Salam"
  22. I dun bother to click. Unless Angel is a girl
