To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Down the boot fair this morning and came back with Deus EX for the PS2 for a quid. <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//dance3.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dancer:' />
Even more amazing a copy of Parkan 2 brand new still sealed for 2 and it the English version <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//yahoo.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':yahoo:' />
This Jagged Alliance game is very old school, hard as nails.

Well done! <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_crazy.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlcrazy:' /> Mind that the PS2 version of Deus Ex has a slightly different layout to it's levels compared to the PC version. This caught me out a few times.
Do not use the quicksave option. It's broken.

The game crashes on the 2nd missions IIRC there was some problem with this, I tried the German patch on it but all it did was install starforce on the computer, then it would not run the game.
Going to give Deus Ex a run through when I get some time as it's been a few years since I played the PC version.
If anyone wants to test the strength of their nerves have a look for a little downloadable game called "Slender". My god, I'm 33 and I felt like I was gonna have a heart attack playing this.
Been given 15 PS1 games from a relative, nice.
Got Monty on the run, Captain Blood, Lords of Midnight and Mindtrap for the speccy emulator. My xbox 360 died with red lights so I've regressed back to a former era. Damn that Captain Blood is hard.
It is I keep having a go on the St version every now and again.
Picked up Rise of flight Aces edition yesterday a WW1 flight sim, loved Knight of the sky on the amiga. but it looks like there may be a few problems getting it running.
Got Tiny Trooper the other week it's bit like Cannon Fodder but easier, problem is it has corrupted graphics and there appears to no patch for it yet.
My latest games:
Torchlight 2: Digital & Boxed Copy
Galaxy on Fire 2: Digital & Boxed Copy
XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Special Edition)
Path of Exile (Silver Support packgage)
Legends of Pegasus (what a waste)
I will only play 2 out of these 5 games in the near future. XCOM & POE (as soon as it hits open beta). The others are good to have for the case I win the lottery or get unemployed. <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_razz.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />
Let see what have I acquired
Xcom not working
Retro city rampage great little gta clone.
Excalibur for the PS1 never got around to buying when it first come out and maybe just as well as it has a terrible control system.
Syphonfilter the Omega Strain bough all the Syphonfilter games on the PS1 but this ps2 sequel is a bit of an disappointment as it suffers from bad control layout.
Baldur gate 2 for the ps2 not look at it yet.
Star topia agan not look at it so far
Mont and blade collection so far duke Pinback has been wandering around looking for something to do.
Baldur gate 2 for the ps2 not look at it yet.
Oooh, didnt know that was out on the PS2, must investigate.
Star topia agan not look at it so far
THAT is a great game! Really enjoyed that. Very (unintentionally) funny at times
As for me, Dorijan has been helping me to get Starpoint Gemini to finally run, so I am busy with that
Oooh, didnt know that was out on the PS2, must investigate.
I should have said it's "Dark Alliance 2" Geraldine not "Baldur's gate 2" speaking of which I have seen they are doing a remake or Enhanced Edition of both the PC games.
Ah, I already have Dark Alliance 1&2 for the XBox 1, good games though. As for the BG re-makes, you might be as well off sticking with the original games and install the wide screen and restoration mods that put back in all the content that was cut from the original releases. Still, if Bioware were to use the Dragon Age engine for a BG game re-make, I might be interested. Oh, and Planescape also has a ton of restoration mods available too!
Here is a few places to get you started <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_crazy.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlcrazy:' />

At lest this version will have none of that CD swapping that the original game had <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_lol.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
I got Borderlands 2... I kinda regret it, it's a bit soulless, shootnloot is fun in a party but other than that, a little meh.
I also got Minecraft on the 360... don't, just don't.
It's a Minecraft demo at best with skins you have to pay for?! lolwut?
So my console gaming is pretty lacking atm.
On PC I'm playing Oolite of course and am sort of humming and hawing about buying Evochron.
Next purchase is the new Hitman, I've finished every Hitman game, it's hands down my fave franchise of all time and this one will be the best yet... I hope.
Hopefully I have "bought" Elite Dangerous <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_crazy.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlcrazy:' />
