Multiplayer should be a lot of fun in Retrovirus... Anxiously waiting for that moment!

Hopefully will be able to play this week with everyone on Thursday. (10 PM Central time for me.)

SirWinner

Anyone know where I can download the original set of music for all 3 versions of Descent?

Thanks!

SirWinner

Thanks for the update!

SirWinner

Sirius, Point well taken. At least in Microsoft Visual Studio projects, you simply layout the Form Design then add the code behind the scenes which saves hundreds or thousands of hours when doing a large project. I do have hidden objects on form dialogs in many projects that get moved and unhidden /...

SirWinner

And a very nice patch it was...

Retrovirus seems to be very very stable and loads of fun so far!

SirWinner

Thanks for the feedback.

Know that I have prepared an e-mail too long when after I have sent it that there are many misphrased statements.

Most of the time my attention is on what is meant not how it was stated.

SirWinner

Having loads of fun playing Retrovirus. Glad that we finally have a new game that plays similar to what we have had in Descent for many many years! (1994, 1995, and 1999... and beyond) One really cool thing is that after you have completed a level then go back to the list of levels, you will see how...

SirWinner

Thanks for the note on Homeworld... I'll consider that too.

There's a new game due out soon called "Planetary Annihilation" which looks promising:

"IRregardless"... This is one is improperly used a lot. The REAL word is Regardless. When IR is added to the beginning it effectively means "NOT regardless"... which is NOT what people really meant to really say... but sadly the more this word is improperly used, the more people ...

I played LOL (League of Legends) for about a week. Too many players didn't bother to even view the tutorial or much less follow its' suggestions... they run in and die then after about 3 to 5 deaths in a row they then Rage Quit. Too many rage quitters which then ruined the game play... Sadly you the...

Roncli, I did get a message from Rex on the Retrovirus Forums then sent him the e-mail and now Steam has Retrovirus registered. Had a FPS issue that has been resolved... at the first level the Worm wouldn't enter the screen... now it is working. Was getting perhaps 8 to 10 FPS now working at about 1...

Seems that it is due out next month. (March 12, 2013) At this point in time, I am not interested in the Zerg Version in SC2. Already have SC2 Wings of Liberty and that most likely will be the last of the series for me. So at this time, If I desire to play this game genre... Will go back and play Tot...

SirWinner

Krom,

Once you play Retrovirus, I'm quite sure that you will be addicted like we were in Descent!

SirWinner

Finally fixed my setup. Had a frames per second (FPS) issue which would cause the Worm to never enter the computer but by reducing the frame size it doubled the FPS and let the Worm enter. The Joystick controls took some tweaking but it now works more like what I need. Only 1 problem remaining... ge...

Retrovirus purchased today and installed (February 19, 2013)... now to get it registered with STEAM and get my Joystick configured properly for steering in it!

SirWinner

Just purchased this game today (February 19, 2013) via GameStop. Now it is installed... next step get Steam to recognize it and to get my joystick configuration issues resolved for my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick on steering and possibly weapons usage in Retrovirus. So far the Nose...

Max/MSP? I'm not familiar with those. When you say "Visual Programming Languages", I tend to think of Microsoft Visual Studio Languages such as C++, C#, Visual Basic, F#, etc. I would assume that you are interested in C++ or C# based on the topic at hand... Of which, C# is the better of th...

I found out via Facebook yesterday... So I went to GameStop in my City and purchased the "Download" version. ($19.99 and no tax in USA funds.) Then went home and installed it... then keyed in the 30 character license key after logging into my Miner Wars 2081 Account then under my profile. ...

Nice video.

Reminds me of Freespace 2.

Thank you for sharing!

SirWinner

Great Picture... Thanks.

I hope that is what America does with our Vote on November 2012.

SirWinner

Nice Find... I still like the video even in this state!

SirWinner

Very nice demo! Would be nice to be able to view an "Automap" of where you have been similar to Descent 1 and Descent 2. The ship "autoleveling' was annoying to me. Overall a very nice demo of the game. Thank you! Sadly I do not have a PayPal or any credit cards at the moment. I'll ch...

Upgraded my Video from the Motherboard's nVidia GeForce 8200 (128 Megabytes of RAM) by using a PCI Express 16 card from XFX using the ATI Radeon HD 6570 with 1 Gigabytes of RAM. Video runs much smoother now. So off to try RetroVirus Demo!!! Next step is to replace the whole PC with an AMD Quad Core ...

SirWinner

Thank you for opening up an Alpha Demo... I am downloading that now! I think he means as in "trichording" like we were able to do in Descent 1, Descent 2, and Descent 3 when using a Joystick. For Instance, You can use the Left, Right, Forward, Backward for the X axis and Y axis on the Joys...

SirWinner

Nice little demo... Sounded like you were flying using a lot of keystrokes! I used to do that some in the OLD Descent 1 Demo days but it was hard to fly that way. So I now play Games like your with my old reliable Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro 2 Joystick. Excellent Demo... Looking forward to se...

I supposed that they were involved in "Descent IV" project. By the thread title, it seemed that you were looking for some of the old timers that used to frequent this site more often... I am still around... just don't check the DBB often enough lately. While I was somewhat Missing In Actio...

SirWinner

Very nice looking demo!

Miner Wars is on my list to look at very hard... Thanks for adding to my short list of cool looking new games!

SirWinner

That is hilarious!

Thanks!

I think that I tried an early demo... looked pretty nice... but it is hard to tell how well it will play until it comes out. I will reserve judgement until that time... Who knows... MW2081 may be an excellent game and will be on my home PC as soon as it comes out... We'll see! --- Due to a lack of r...

Glad to see that I wasn't the only one that thought that this is "extremely poor marketing" from Microsoft. On a New Windows Install, the first thing that I install is Firefox for me and others. Then I install System Internals suite to run the AutoRuns program to root out certain programs ...

Hope that you had a most excellent birthday my friend!

Too many really players to remember the best one ever. Descent 1, Descent 2, or Descent 3? Each one had some really fine players. Koolbear nice host and very good Descenter. CajunAce showed me the ropes in my First Online Descent Game in Descent 1 Level 23 via Kali on a Christmas Day. Obviously I wa...

Playable Demo?

No, I don't want to see a VIDEO DEMO... I would like to "Play Test" even a small area just to check out the interface, etc.
