  1. Hey!??! Is it me? What happened to the ROMS folder in FTP 2? I'm checking it now, its gone!?!?

     

    Ah... whoops. This browser was acting screwy. It's working now. BTW - I uploaded some new ones to the NES category.

  2. Just saw their Heroes section @ Activision.com

     

    The IM game is only for Gameboy Advance. It seems like a suped-up Mega Man. Might be somewhat fun.

     

    I played the X-Men fighting game they recently did. I liked it, it was fun. Not the best fighting system ever, but it was good.

  3. Sure, I use SNES9X for Super NES games... I tried a few for Neo Geo but couldn't get them to work. Did you ever get a N64 one that worked?!

     

    I want some cool NES ones, they're small enough to upload en masse. The SNES & GENESIS ones turn out to be up to a few megs each, for dialup, that's a bitch to upload.

  4. In the drunkenpics2 ftp I put a folder called ROMS. Inside that folder, there are currently 3 sub folders: SNES, NES, Genesis.

     

    I'm going to upload the few I have today to their respective folders.

  5. Hey... I dug this one up out of the cobwebs.

     

    I need more ROMS!! Could you guys upload some small ones for NES / SNES / Genesis to the FTP? I'll make a new folder for ROMS in FTP2. Leave some good ones there!

  6. BTW - The game should be relatively cheap nowadays. I found it for $15.00. But, before you start playing, update the version of the game to 1.1 . The patch is on the web, its pretty big, about 17MB if I remember right. But its worth it.

  7. Don't think I've ever mentioned this one here. Watching the war on TV & looking at all the tactial command computer screens through the ever watchful eye of the media reminded me of a game I used to love losing too... Jane's Fleet Command.

     

    Jane's is world reknowned for providing armchair generals with the ultimate in true-to-life simulation of all sorts of war machines big & small... from A-10 Warthogs to WWII prop planes to Navy fighter simulation. This game puts you in the chair of the Commanding Officer over fleets of warships in many, many different scenarios. You basically get your Aircraft Carriers, your Destroyers, some Submarines, all the goodies that come along with them, and one big globe to conqu- um... travel. The training & campaign scenarios are hard as hell & enjoyable... that is, if you're into the real-real-real time thing... This is so realtime it can be realtime boring unless you are a true diehard fan of war simulators. Time rolls along just as it does in real life... there are lots of times where your sitting around waiting for a sub to pop up or waiting for your Prowlers to come across a SAM site to blow up... it can drag

     

    To me the game was still a blast. The graphics are incredible. Nothing is as awe inspiring as watching your Battleship launch TLAM's (Tomahawks) into an enemy city. The game truly makes you feel like your in some very dangerous situations, politically & militarily. Also, they have some special "Enforce the No Fly Zone" missions in Iraq which are fun. You get to see how equipped Saddam really was back in the day. Show him what an F-15 can really do!

     

    + Extremely accurate wartime simulation.

     

    + Incredible fleet graphics & detail for a large-scale sim. These types of simulations usually hog up CPU time just running the engine, graphics are usually on the backburner if any at all... but Jane's FC really excells in the graphics department.

     

    + Combat is a trip! The game really makes you feel like your in trouble & is a tough challenge to beat. Track & intercept incoming cruise missiles to keep your ships alive. Send squadrons of fighters in to take out military targets... you get it.

     

    - Real-realtime. If the game says it takes 15 minutes to get from A to B... go take a shower or something, it will be a while.

     

    - A little overwhelming at times. The computer can house you easily if you dont have your strategy straight.

     

    - Requirements... this game is a power hog. You can run it w/ reduced graphics, but even that won't save your CPU from frying if there are too many planes on screen at once.

     

    Lemme find some pics...
