I also think the DOS version has a sort of "stardreamer" to speed up time.
Yes. There is a warp function. From a recent Retro Gamer feature on Firebird, the Dos version was more refined than the ST/Amiga version. (And after the Dos version, the code was backported to 68000, for the mac version).

Tales of monkey island collector edition.Normal don't bother with these special editions but could not resist a monkey one. Fallout brotherhood of steel for the XBox after finding Fallout 3 won't work.

Alan Wake from GOG, all 7.88 GIGs of it, my poor modem...........er I mean router, router!, is melting What happened with Fallout 3 Pinback? I've got that for the 360 and it runs fine, unless your talking about the XBox 1?

Alan Wake? How is that a "good ol' game"? Is there an old Alan Wake game then? I have the new(ish) one on xbox 360.

You got me there Overlord <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_lol.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> I guess GOG are expanding into newer games. As long as their stuff stays DRM free, I guess its ok.

I really don't like fiddling around with new PC as past experience has usually leads to a disaster

I can't get into that Wither game.Bought Sniper ghost warrior basically creep about in the jungle and shoot people in the head, shows it a console port as there's no lean key also it switches to a standard FPS game every couple of levels.Batman Arkham Asylum not tried it yet.Got two games for the PS2 Lego Indiana Jones and the Simpsons game.

Space Marine collector's edition, normaly I wound't buy theses editions but for £8.99 it was just too rude not to <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_biggrin.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />Huge box love the art book and it got a couple other bits of tat in it <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_lol.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Alien Breed trilogy, just started playing the first one "Impact" pretty good update of the original Amiga game.

Just picked up one of these PS2 thingies on Amibay and a pink one at that! <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_crazy.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlcrazy:' /> <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//haha.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' /> .Anyone have any recommendations game wise for it? Space Sim, Flight Sim, RPG and Adventures would be my choice, but which ones? I still have the Colony Wars games for the PS1 and hoping they will still work in this too

I got one of the older fat PS2 which has no problems playing PS1 games not sure about the slim ones.Don't think that there are many space/flight sim on it and as you already have an XBox you probably will have them, I know there is a startrek game which come out on the PS2, which did not appear on the original XBox.As for RPG/adventures there's plenty of JRPG on it,if you like them, Escape from monkey island come out on it along with a couple of other point&click adventures.I try to keep any eye out for PS2 exclusives or ones which were not released on the XBox or I have not played.Picked up a copy of Bully or Canis Canemedit as it says on the box, it a bit of a remake of the 8bit classic school daze by Rockstar.

Thanks for that Pinback <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//curtsey.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':curtsey:' />I have been looking about Fleabay, there seems to be a lot of interesting games available. Have not found any space sims yet though. <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_confused.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':?' />

Check out your local Blockbuster as they usually have loads of PS2 games for sale.

Will do Pinback, but found a veritable bounty of PS2 games on Amazon. Its a lot better than messing around on Fleabay <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_werewolf.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlwerewolf:' />Jedi Starfighter incoming! <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//crazy_pilot.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazypilot:' />

Picked up that Star trek game yesterday "Star Trek Encounters" not had a chance to look at it yet, also got one called "Dropship United peace Force".

<img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//huh.png[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' /> I bought those two for the PS2! Encounters is so so, fiddly in bits, but ok. Dropship is really good though, in fact one of the best games I have so far for the PS2, you will like it I am sure <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//biggrin.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' /> Another game I got for it was Deus Ex. Well, I just wanted to see the PS2 version and so far its still good old Deus Ex but looks a wee bit better than the PC version. Music is enhanced a bit too in places. <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//cool.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Never knew that the original Deus come out on the PS2.

It can be a wee bit hard to track down but its out there and for a console port, it's still streets ahead of the XBox version of Invisible War <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//triniti.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':triniti:' />Oooh look! There is some on Amazon [url][/url]
