Greetings warriors! The following text document contains all of the messages that have been posted in the Warriors Guild folder from September 1, 1994 to January 7, 1995. Since the Grand Admiral has been busy of late, I will log and upload future messages of the Warrior's Guild. The Warriors Guild welcomes new members and pertinent posts. Located in the "Flight Sim Resource Center" in the PC Games area, the Guild folders contain fiction, hints, club business and more. The Guild has been highly successful. In addition to many members and a multitude of posts, literally dozens of files, unavailable on AOL, have been exchanged among the members. If you find these posts to be of interest and you'd like to join the Warriors Guild, e-mail me, DavidC8169, Highlan332 or XWAce.

I've made it through in a loaded Centurion and in a semi-loaded Galaxy. It is refreshing to see some chatter about something besides tie-fighter. I almost thought that the WG had been renamed to TieGuild! Has anyone besides Highlander played Subwar 2050? I'm debating wether or not to buy it. Senior Chief Skippy Subj: Re:Tie Fighter Date: 94-09-01 02:25:12 EDT From: Haplo94 The better graphics in TIE will cause you to lose the smoothness that you have in Xwing. Just turn down some of the detail settings, and you should be fine. *****Rogue Leader Subj: Alien Doom!! Date: 94-09-01 04:14:35 EDT From: Tarrker I have finally made some super graphics for aliens. They replace the imps. I also made a magnificent level. I still need some things like BETTER graphics and MORE levels. If some one would like to take a look at my level and try fixing it up I'd be grad to send them a copy! thanks Tarrker the newt Subj: Re: Tie Fighter Date: 94-09-01 17:05:28 EDT From: BenF210 Tie Fighter is by far the best game Ive ever played for any computer or Game System. The only game which i think is more fun would have to be the original Star Wars game with tthe green graphics annd the Death Star Trench Run. Has any one seen it lately? I sure havent. CG Awards are coming tonight Sept 1 , 1994 in this folder Flight Leader Wedge Master of X-Wing Subj: TIE Fighter HELP! Date: 94-09-01 18:15:38 EDT From: Jedi 007 I'm really having some problems on TIE Battle 5 Mission 5...Help! -=-B-=-= Subj: Compuserve sponsors competition Date: 94-09-01 21:29:04 EDT From: WhiteJedi The Flight Simulator Forum on Compuserve is sponsoring the first online XWing Competition. Players will play in a 7 mission custom designed TOD. The missions start from medium level and will end up (the staff claims) with a nearly impossible mission. There is a file in the library that explains the rules and how to play. Prizes include free CIS credit and Star Wars artwork autographed by Timothy Zahn. The first mission wasn't too bad, but it looks like it's going to be as tough as IP was. WJ Subj: Guild Posts Date: 94-09-01 22:20:09 EDT From: RolandSk Fellow Guild Members, I am going to be offline for around a week, I'll be back on September 10th. Hope to see what's up. Sienor Cheif Sir Wells Subj: Sound Date: 94-09-02 15:33:21 EDT From: Samurai 1 Hey does anyone know if there is a sound file collection for star wars? Chief Lone Wolf Subj: RE: "War Cry on a disk" Date: 94-09-02 17:37:48 EDT From: Highlan332 Boran (Jedi 007)- "...How abouts we just send the Admiral a SASE and two disks? That way is probably the most cost effective..." That will be acceptable Chief- under certain conditions. If you want to send SASE's and disks, you must send enough for at least FOUR issues in advance. That means 4 SASE's and 8 disks. As I have said before, I am not going to spend several hours every month counting money and trying to keep track of who has and hasn't paid. The same with SASE's and disks. I'm not going to wait until the last minute each time to see if a member's SASE and disks comes in just so that I can send it right back out. If you send them in advance, I will always have a supply ready when I need to get the issue mailed out. So, as long as you send at least four issue's worth at a time, that's OK with me. I can buy disks in bulk, however, so I don't think you'll save anything. Also, postage is more than it is for a letter, so keep that in mind. Thanks. ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Recruitment Posts for Other Club Date: 94-09-02 17:38:11 EDT From: Highlan332 Chief Ben Iblis (Byteman58)- "...Wind Wing.. Sorry Grand Admiral but we are just starting and need members. Does this count as a recruitment post?..." The issue of posting recruiting messages for other clubs needs to be addressed, since a few have popped up here. It's OK to post an OCCASIONAL message here to recruit for another club, just don't do it too often. If you do, you'll hear from me. There has already been enough material regarding the Rebel Squadrons (Storm and Wind Wing) to last for some time. Next, NO these messages do not count for recruiting posts. In fact, they do not count as posts at all. That means you get no points for them and they don't count as your weekly post requirement. Come on, you know (if you read the guidelines) that posts must be related to THIS club to gain points. Material for other clubs may help you there but not here. Lastly, do not sign your posts with a rank from some other club. Ben Iblis, for example, is a chief in this club, yet he signed off as admiral. We do not recognize ranks gained in other clubs, you are only rewarded for your work here. I don't mean to pick on Ben Iblis, he is just a good example. So, follow the restrictions I have mentioned and we won't have any problems with outside recruiting posts. Thanks for your time. ½½½+++Highlander++++++ Subj: Bonus Program with War Cry disks Date: 94-09-02 17:39:01 EDT From: Highlan332 I just thought I'd mention that I have decided to distribute a bonus program with War Cry when I can fit it in. With issue one, I am considering the Star Wars arcade game, a Tie fighter crack, or a Doom add-on that changes various things into Star Wars graphics. For those who are going to be getting the newsletter via mail, let me know which program you'd be most interested in. I'll include the program with the most votes! ...-=Highlander=-... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subj: RE: "Gotta quit" Date: 94-09-02 17:39:19 EDT From: Highlan332 Sorry to hear that you have to bail out Chief Jester. I wish you the best of luck with your personal problems and hope that you'll be able to return to AOL soon. Look us up next time you're in this sector. Until then, Throttle to max and keep your guns hot! ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Welcome New Warrior Date: 94-09-02 17:40:06 EDT From: Highlan332 Let's take a moment to welcome Chief Frogtongue to the Warriors Guild. In addition to computers, the Chief is interested in heavy metal and hard rock music. Hmmm.. What do you think he plays on the bridge of his Centurion? Well, Matt, it's good to have you aboard. Read through the back messages to catch up on what's going on. There are several WGPOST files available online that contain our older posts. Enjoy your tour with us Frogtongue. <--Highlander--> There can be only one... PS: More welcomes will follow later for our other new members. Subj: Chat Time- Sep. 8th Date: 94-09-02 17:40:28 EDT From: Highlan332 There has been some call for another chat session, so we will meet in the private room "Guild Hall" on Thursday, September 8th. The time will be 6:30 PM Pacific Time (9:30 PM Eastern Time). I'll answer questions, we can discuss games, etc. I am giving you a week's notice so please be sure to mark your calendars.

Thanks you very much XWAce! It is very gratifying to hear from someone who truly understands how much effort I put into the newsletter to get all of the finishing touches just right. Things such as sound, 256-color pictures, icons and floating menus all required many extra hours of effort just to give War Cry a truly polished look. Several people have asked what software I used to create the newsletter. I used several programs including Doc-To-Help, the Help Authoring Guide, Minihelp Plus and the Microsoft Windows Programmer's Guide. As I have said before, there are many help authoring programs available on AOL. As XWAce will attest, however, writing Help files is not easy. So, once ,ore, thanks again, XWAce. :-D ½½½+++Highlander++++++ Subj: Submissions Needed for War Cry Date: 94-09-02 17:41:26 EDT From: Highlan332 As I stated in the first issue of War Cry, I need submissions from you members. Right now, I have no letters to the editor, so that is what I mainly need. Please e-mail me your submissions now. Thanks! ---]== Highlander ===> Subj: Promotions Date: 94-09-02 17:41:45 EDT From: Highlan332 Greetings Warriors! It is my honor to be able to announce the last batch of promotees. These brothers have been working hard to improve the Guild and keep it an enjoyable place to spend your time. Please join with me in congratulating the following members: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Viper (JunglSnipr) has been promoted to Ensign Jedi 007 (Boran) advanced to Senior Chief Snake Eyes (DavidC8169) advanced to Lieutenant B Blaze has been promoted to Force Leader ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for your time and efforts, men! ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Re:My story Date: 94-09-03 00:03:23 EDT From: Whitehawk That was a good story and should be continued. Sienior LT Whitehawk Subj: Re:Submissions Needed for War Cr Date: 94-09-03 00:07:48 EDT From: Whitehawk What shold be in the letter to the editors? Senior LT Whitehawk Subj: :new member Date: 94-09-03 09:47:29 EDT From: Codyman sorry, I forgot to say i wanted to be enlisted in the military ranks of the guild when i posted my bio. Subj: Star Wars Date: 94-09-03 09:54:43 EDT From: Codyman Does anyone have this really old game called Star Wars for their computer. It has about three colors and those are all lines but the action is faster than rebel asault. It is alot like RA too. There are only about three main levels (tie shooting, laser tower shooting, and the trench run), but the levels get harder every time and keep going on for what seems like forever. It is a great game even with it's lack of graphics and i think it's one of the fastest paced games i've ever played. If anyone has this oldy tell me. It was made in 1983 i think (or 87) but it's still pretty cool. Tell me if you have it and we can compare scores and stuff. Subj: SW SIM Date: 94-09-03 09:56:58 EDT From: Codyman Another thing I'd like to ask is if anyone here takes part in the star wars sims lead by Adm Yoda? Tell me if you are and if you don't know what I'm talking about contact Adm Yoda for more details. Subj: missed out Date: 94-09-03 18:29:15 EDT From: EORE69 I was out for a bit so could someone inform me as to what is going on with this war cry thing because i enjoy it and want more issues. Send it e-mail or post a message what ever. Chief Jedi Subj: Looking for... Date: 94-09-03 19:47:53 EDT From: PeterA3818 All you X-Wing fanatics; I would love to trade pilots I need tour 1 and 2 saved pilots. Anyone with any knowledge of Wing Commander Armada IM me Subj: Mech warrior 2 Date: 94-09-04 11:45:24 EDT From: EORE69 When is MW2 going to come out. I went to babbages and it said coming soon in august but i guess not. I've never really been into these kinds of games but now i am interested in the because i played MW1 on my 5.25" and i have the demo for MW2. So could someone kindly inform me on the game. Chief Jedi Subj: Re:Star Wars Date: 94-09-04 12:57:01 EDT From: Tim Rayner I just uploaded that game to the Admiral, he should send it out soon! Subj: MechWarrior 2 Date: 94-09-04 14:09:23 EDT From: Ironman Well, I've been going to babbages alot and the only thing that I've heard is that in Walnut Creek, CA there is a Virtual Reality gameing place, which is pretty cool, they have a game called BattleTech. They are supposedly fighting over rights for the game, even though activision had Mechwarrior out years ago, and there was that Role-playing game. So until they figure it all out it won't come out. Hope this helps. Ironman Subj: Privateer Date: 94-09-04 17:05:55 EDT From: LoverBoyUS I know that everybody wants to talk about TIE fighter but i need to know something about Privateer. HOW DO YOU BEAT IT?????? I have a fully loaded Centurion and 250 IR missles and cant kill that STUPID green pod. is there some kind of strategy?? ANy help would be greatly appreaceated. Thanks. Rhino Subj: Promotions, survey and the like Date: 94-09-04 17:15:51 EDT From: JunglSnipr Fellow Warriors, I have been a bit remiss in my posting, due to a hard drive crash. I am just now, getting things back in some semblance of order. Now...... Welcome, new members. You have joined a very diverse group, active in many different areas of the sci-fi sim field. If you have a problem, question or comment about any of the games that we discuss, feel free to post them. Someone will give you a hand. Concerning the effort to get the WG 'announced' publicly......I've been off line for about 2 weeks (give or take a day) and, upon signing back on, have heard nothing from PC Roger or PC Sylva. PC Sylva said she was turning it over to PC Roger, so now that I am back on line, I will continue with my "polite pestering" of PC Roger. I realize that the folks who have the job of organizing these club message boards are very busy, so I will start, slowly, with Roger and work my way up, from there. As to the survey of times on line, etc, most of my files were destroyed, in that area, but I do have a backup, so those of you who haven't sent me your responses, please do. If nothing else, let me know what times you can come on line. This will help if anyone would like to have more on line chats with fellow members. E-mail JunglSnipr with your responses. They will be compiled and sent to the Grand Admiral......then we will have some idea when everyone, or most everyone, is available and a chat room can be created at a time when more of us can join in the chat. To the Scribes.......keep up the fine work, Warriors. I have been following several of your stories and find myself waiting for the next episode. Those of you, who are writing stories, using a character from "established" stories, ought to contact a publisher, find out what the copyright laws are, and see if you can't get them published. ρρρρ Ensign Viper ρρρρ **** Stellar Guard **** Subj: Re:Privateer Date: 94-09-04 17:22:40 EDT From: JunglSnipr Have you gone to Rygannon and done the missions for Taryn Cross yet? You have to do the Exploratory Service thing to find the Derilict Steltek ship and get the Steltek gun. Then, after that, there's a bit of a delay until you go see Admiral Terrell.......go to a mining base in the Clarke quadrant and visit the bar.....you should meet Capt. Goodwin, and she'll tell you that the Admiral wants to see you. Then go to Perry and do the missions for Terrell. On your way to the 'ambush' you'll find the way to destroy the Alien pod.........don't go "blasting" by any odd ships that you see....... ρρρρ Ensign Viper ρρρρ **** Stellar Guard **** Subj: Tractor beam... Date: 94-09-04 21:24:22 EDT From: Spacer123 Has any one found a use for the tractor beam in tie Fighter? I haven't. the only time I have used it is on the Tie Defender Training mission Two. And even then The corellian ships still move toward their jump point. If anyone has found a Use for the tractor beam, E-mail me or post your answer here. Thanks Spacer123 Subj: Doesn't anyone want Alien Doom!? Date: 94-09-04 23:59:38 EDT From: Tarrker HELLO!!!! I've been wrighting these HELP things over and ocer again!

Flight Leader Wedge Master of X-Wing Subj: X-Com Date: 94-09-05 18:20:41 EDT From: Samurai 1 Does anyone know if there are any ad-ons for x-com? does anyone know if there is another fighting sim that uses the battle engine that x-com uses? Any help is welcome. Chief Lone Wolf Subj: back Date: 94-09-05 19:37:36 EDT From: DVader27 Hello brothers, I was just wondering something. I wrote one chapter for a novel and mailed it to GA Highlander, who then placed it on the War Cry issue. I have sinced written another chapter and I think it will be in the next War Cry Issue. It will take about three chapters in order to get the story history in and the novel rolling, but has anybody even read it. And if you have is it ok.. if not i'll try and move on with another story line if it didn't catch any bodies interest. Senior Chief DVader27 Subj: to:EORE69 Date: 94-09-05 20:55:34 EDT From: Edvardo Hey pal don't worry, it will come out soon please don't loose your mind like most people do. I called Activision and they said it will come out in October! But don't get your hopes up. Ignore all those crazy postings everywhere because it's probably not true. Where did you get the demo? because last I heard COMP USA is getting it on the 15th of SEP. How do you like the first I play it to my lance has full B-Masers!! I have 4 B-Masters, 2 Marauders, 2 Warhammers, and I have enough money to buy 64 locusts! But every time I get enough fire power to get the chalise someone already has! I think it would be cool if AOL made a Battletech online useing MechWarrior2's via modem play! AOL could make the proper arrangments and we could have a Battletech online. AOL could have Activision's programers make it so it could use AOL's multi player ability. We could have many battles going on at once. We (TWG) could form teams (like lances or stars). And maybe one or two battles could be free for all every man or women for themselves! cool huh? by:Edvardo Subj: TIE improvement Date: 94-09-05 20:57:13 EDT From: Magnfcent7 You know, I hate to keep carping on my beloved TIE Fighter, but I think Lucasarts left out one little thing that would have helped a lot... Speak up, those of you who have earned the title of Hand of the Emperor, what about a PROXIMITY ALARM!!!! How many times did you go to dodge that firing X-wing and slam right into something else? TRULY INFURIATING! My only other problem is, how exactly does what Admiral Zaarin does in the last few missions (trying not to spoil it for anyone) come about? Remember all that blue lightning? Hmmmm.......... Subj: Re:to:EORE69 Date: 94-09-05 22:00:28 EDT From: EORE69 The demo is pretty good but it is sort of limited like the tie fighter demo. For example you only get the first basic robot and can only do about 2 missions. I got it from a pc games expo in chicago when i was visiting my relatives. I had to pay 5.99 for it since it came with a free t-shirt and matching hat. Other wise it is a pretty good game and i am really looking forward to getting the registered version of MW2. By the way do you no if they are going to have a modem play version so maybee you can play your friends or something. Chief Jedi Subj: Re:Mech warrior 2 Date: 94-09-06 00:54:58 EDT From: DavidC8169 Chief Jedi, I work for a Babbage's in Kansas City, and they tell us that it will be in November. You can also talk to FASA, the people who own BattleTech, here online, from Departments screen, click on Games & Entertainment, then OnLine Gaming Forum, Gaming Support, Gaming Support Messaging, then select the FASA folder. They once left a message that Activision was working on getting rid of some bugs and that the delay was not because of any fighting of rights to the game. Lieutenant Snake Eyes Subj: Zephyr Date: 94-09-06 08:44:21 EDT From: Codyman Anyone have any info on the new game coming up called zephyr? Subj: Re:Zephyr Date: 94-09-06 11:44:25 EDT From: EORE69 I don't but what kind of game is zephyr. Flight sim or battle game. Chief Jedi Subj: Re:TIE Fighter Date: 94-09-06 14:05:33 EDT From: Tim Rayner I just got TIE Fighter and won it in the same day on easy! I got to the Third Circle of the Secret Order of the Emperor, is that good? I've restarted the game on normal and want to see how well I do. BTW I would like to see an Aliens Doom game, even if no one else would! Subj: Tie Fighter... Date: 94-09-06 15:49:33 EDT From: Spacer123 Yeah, I Got Tie about september 2 and I beat two days ago on normal. I'm going to try it on hard, But I had more joy in X-Wing Cause it took a while to beat. The graphics are outstanding yet I though it would be a challenge flying with no shields. Subj: back to:EORE69 Date: 94-09-06 17:42:44 EDT From: Edvardo I heard you don't have to get any special add-ons do use modem play it should just come with it. Have you beaten MechWarrior? Subj: Stopping Alien Doom Date: 94-09-06 20:52:45 EDT From: Tarrker I am now stopping my forward efforts at making alien Doom. It is obvious to me that no one wants aliens. Considering this, I am asking for help on my next add on. Someone write me and tell me what add on they want to see? All things considered, I can tell no one cares because no one writes. Tarrker the newt Subj: Finished TIE Fighter Date: 94-09-06 21:20:30 EDT From: B Blaze I just finished TIE Fighter on hard. I looked at my medals and found that a few secondary and bonus objective pins were missing. So either I missed a few objectives or there were no secondary or bonus objectives. Overall, I got a lot of medals. It's a great game and I recommend it to anybody. -B.B. Subj: Re:Tractor beam... Date: 94-09-06 23:54:45 EDT From: GameJackal Well spacey, the tractor beam is used to slow down your opponet. You can only use within 1.5 of your target. May the Force be with you. GameJackal Master of TIE Fighter Subj: Manga Date: 94-09-07 00:22:29 EDT From: Samurai 1 Hey lone wolf here does anyone like manga or Japanese Anamie? Let me know ohtay. Just post any reps. Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Add on Tour for TIE Date: 94-09-07 01:07:10 EDT From: Spacer123 Has anyone ordered the Tie Fighter campaign disk? If yes did lucas arts send you any thing about when it will be available? Subj: Secret Order Date: 94-09-07 21:43:41 EDT From: XWAce I still am trying to determine what you need to do to progress in the Secret Order. Can anyone tell me? I am done with Battle #5 and am only in the Third Circle. Lieutenant XWAce Subj: Re:Secret Order Date: 94-09-07 23:36:54 EDT From: DVader27 in order to advance into the secret order you have to carry out the orders of the cloaked figure. keep checking to see what parts of the mission you have completed. when you have completed the primary mission plus anything the cloaked figure asked you to do you'll advance deeper into the order. he will usually ask you to identify some ship or container. Senior Chief DVader27 Subj: Star Wars in French Date: 94-09-08 11:35:05 EDT From: RolandSk Fellow members, As I can see you all seem to love Tie-Fighter and other Star Wars games. Well I do not speak french very well but I do know some stuff. Quelle force soit avec toi (May the Force be with you). Senior Cheif Sir Wells Subj: Re: Secret Order Date: 94-09-08 17:14:19 EDT From: BenF210 To progresss through the secret ranks, you must complete the secondary goals which are what the Cloaked Figurwe asks you to do. Flight Leader Wedge Master of X-Wing Subj: Re: Re: Tractor Beam Date: 94-09-08 17:16:29 EDT From: BenF210 true but big deal, all it does is draw power from the engines. I usually set the recharge rate to the lowest for the Tractor BEam and use it to power the shields up instead Subj: Zephyr Date: 94-09-08 18:19:08 EDT From: Codyman From what I have seen Zephyr looks like a futuristic tank game where you pilot a hovering tank through cetain areas looking for your apponent. When you find him you shoot away. It sounds pretty dumb the way i describe it but it looks pretty cool. I believe there will be modem play avalible so you can shoot out against your friend too. Subj: Re: Re: Tractor Beam Date: 94-09-08 18:28:17 EDT From: Spacer123 Yeah, I kill the power to the tractor beam but I put it in the thrusters. It brings your speed up to around 145. It really makes it alot easier to make capital ship runs and get out alive. Also, the secert order: You have to complete secondary goals to advance in the order. I think bonus goals help out too but I'm not sure. Subj: Re:Zephyr Date: 94-09-08 18:44:27 EDT From: LordOfRims It's also a CD-only game. Subj: Re: Re: Tractor Beam Date: 94-09-08 20:04:12 EDT From: Magnfcent7 I agree. The tractor beam seems less than useless. You only get it when you're in the T/A or T/D and the only ship you should have a problem with in either one of those is an enemy T/A, which the tractor beam doesn't really do too much to. Wouldn't it have been nice if the tractor beam caused them to level out and fly straight for a few seconds.... Terminator "Watch your back..." Subj: HELLO!!!! Some one read this!!!! Date: 94-09-08 22:22:14 EDT From: Tarrker I keep asking for help and suggestions on what add on to make but no one answers!!!! This leaves me frustrated!! Please, atleast give me your opinion. Does everyone hate me or is it that no one likes newts? It doesn't matter. Just give me some opinions and suggestions to help me. thanks Tarrker the newt Subj: Re:MechWarrior 2 Date: 94-09-09 09:27:00 EDT From: Leroy W397 They also have one of the "Battlepod" centers in Chicago, that was the first one if I remember, plus they take pods like that to the larger conventions (GenCon, WorldCon, etc.) The thing being, it's not only Battletech, they also have a Harrier sim at the one in CA, plus a few others. Also, if FASA(the role playing people) liscensed both Activision and the Battlepod centers to create their own Battletech software, I don't think there would be a problem. I'm just waiting for MW2 on CD-ROM, I'm running out of HD space QUICK!! Talon Sgt. Roboto Subj: Re:to:EORE69 Date: 94-09-09 09:31:49 EDT From: Leroy W397 Hate to do this, Edvardo, but someone already has the rights to Online Battletech. General Electric's service, GEnie, already has it, using the game engine from the original Mechwarrior. When MW2 comes out, they'll probably jump all over it. If you like modem games, look for one called Megatron. It's a Battletech type game, you only get to choose between two 'Mechs, but it is modem capable for two players. Talon Sgt. Roboto Subj: Re:Manga Date: 94-09-09 09:36:00 EDT From: Leroy W397 I LOVE Japanimation! I think most of the best animation movies come from the Japanese studios. "Akira" is the undisputed best, followed by "Appleseed" and "The Bubblegum Crisis" series. And yes, I know Robotech, have all the books, but I'm looking for the "original" series, the Super Dimensional Fortress Macross and Mospeada series on video. Do you happen to know where I can order them?? Talon Sgt. Roboto Subj: Re:Zephyr Date: 94-09-09 09:37:57 EDT From: Leroy W397 Sounds like another version of Spectre VR. Now that's a game!! Playing against 7 other people on an Appletalk network, just cruising around looking for someone to blast, total fun!! Talon Sgt.

You can't kill the alien until you have completed all the assigned missions. Only on the kill the drone mission, can you kill it.

Flight Leader Wedge Master of X-Wing Subj: Lost member Date: 94-09-11 22:36:04 EDT From: CandiceIam I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the person you knew as JunglSnipr/Viper was killed by a drunk driver in Huntsville, AL, on Friday night, the 9th of Sept. His parents asked me to help them with his personal effects, especially his computer, as they don't know anything about them. While checking files, I noticed several references to your organization, and, not knowing much about you, decided I'd let you all know what had happened. He was a dear friend, and I will miss him, very much. Thank you for your time.

Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Zephyr ans stuff Date: 94-09-12 19:57:34 EDT From: Codyman I'm glad i brought up Zephyr because I have seen alot of talk about it around here. It looks like a cool game and i don't care if it's only cd cause i have a cd drive already anyway. I thing i should bring up a new game for discussion. Let me think. OK here's one. Dark Forces by Lucas Arts. A Doom like game in the Star wars world. Kudos to lucasArts for giving me and thousands of others what they wanted all along. Let's get some chat going on this. Now for something else: I think it's kind of ironic how Mark Hamill (luke skywalker) is playing the lead role in wing commander 3 when x-wing and wing commander have stirred up so much talk about which is better. It's kind of weird, but cool. Anyway, which is the better game? ..........and will WC3 blow tie fighter away? signing off>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Codyman<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Subj: JunglSnipr and pending Doom too. Date: 94-09-13 00:01:56 EDT From: B Blaze First of all, I'd like to say "bye" to JunglSnipr. (Although I don't actually like saying it.) Candicelam, you should know that he had a lot of friends here in the Guild and we'll all miss him. Secondly, does anybody have Doom II yet? A friend of mine E-mailed me saying he just got it, but it's not out yet! That's not fair! -B.B.

Lieutenant Snake Eyes "The measure of a Warrior is the loyalty of his friends and the quality of his enemies." Subj: A Tribute... Date: 94-09-13 03:00:16 EDT From: Spacer123 I have posted this message to pay a tribute to one we have lost. One who was taken from us. Allias, I did not know JunglSnipr\Viper very well, and that is my loss. It always hits to close to home when one is lost to Death, It has eaten upon my soul when Someone I have known, has lost the battle with death. The Kilrathi code of honor speaks of to die in battle at the moment of perfection. This applies to all of us, not just the dead. It tells us to live or lives to perfection, To do What we can in this world, to play life out as it goes. I am sure JunglSnipr\Viper did. Spacer123 Subj: Re:Lost member Date: 94-09-13 18:36:54 EDT From: Jedi 007 Please, offer my condolences. Subj: Re:Lost member Date: 94-09-13 19:56:49 EDT From: Whitehawk A moment of silence will be in order for viper or as many of you know him Junglsniper. he was good to the guild. the guild will mourn for a long time over his loss. On a little highter note I will be hosting a chat room saturday from 5:00 to 6:00. Sienior LT Whitehawk. (all good things must...)

Subj: Junglsniper/Viper Date: 94-09-14 19:22:07 EDT From: RolandSk I say we honor him by making a high award in momorial of him. He was a great friend to me and helped me out with many sci-fi games I couldn't get good at. I say his name should be remembered forever. May his soul live on forever.

On the Sci-Fi channel they have them on at 4:30 am P.T. cool huh? Subj: Re:Lost member Date: 94-09-14 23:00:33 EDT From: SAnders438 JunglSnipr contributed greatly to the Warrior's Guild. He saw this as a great place to meet like minded people and share good times and bad. I think that he should be listed on the Warrior's Guild Roles for life. Perhaps, additional honors of a posthumous promotion to Rear Admiral would be in order for one so young, who was not given the chance to prove just how far he could rise, yet gave all indications of rising to the apex! You shall be sorely missed. May your afterburners never fail and your blasters never jam. Senior Chief Skippy P.S. Let's remember how JunglSnipr died and never drink and drive or let our friends drink and drive. Campaign for tougher DUI laws in your state and local community.

It is a great loss to this honored organization. Subj: JunglSnipr/Viper Award Date: 94-09-15 13:22:13 EDT From: Tim Rayner I agree that an award should be made to honor the loss of one of our Guild members. He will be missed. Farewell Viper. Chief Longshot Subj: A Tribute Date: 94-09-15 16:15:02 EDT From: Spear10 I recommend that in the next issue of War Cry that the Grand Admiral place something, a mid, a Gif or a cinematic scene, to commorate are lost member. I would suggest maybe the funeral scene from Wing Commander 2, it seems appropriate and the music and scene runs on and on in my head as I think of our lost pilot. -Spear10- "Cowards die many times before there death.

Subj: Re:Lost member Date: 94-09-15 18:37:13 EDT From: PeterA3818 I convey my condolences to the familty and to his friends Subj: What is a newt? I'll tell you! Date: 94-09-15 21:46:46 EDT From: Tarrker Sorry I've been out for soo long. I hate coming back to such bad news. Anyway. I like making new races and classes for AD&D. A newt is one I made. I also made many more. Here is the description: A newt is an AD&D player race. They are amphibians and are cold blooded. They have smooth skin NOT SCALES! Newts are very sensitive about thier race and dislike being called lizard men. Although newts are amphibians they have adapted to life above water. However, on sunny days they dehidrate easily. In cool areas they tend to loose contiousness and in cold climates they have a chance of going into a coma and having systems shock. Newts have a natural armor class of 6 and have a +2 on dexterity, +1 on strength, -1 on intelligence and -1 on charisma. Newts get +1 on fire based attacks icluding saving throws due to thier skin. They get a -2 on cold based attacks due to their cold blood. Newts are at home in water and get +1 to all attacks while in water. Newts have VERY strong legs and have an attack called a bounce. A bounce is when they leap in the air about 10 ft and land on they opponents doing double damage with impaling weapons. They also get a +2 on to-hit rolls with harpoons and +1 on to-hit rolls with spears and tridents. thats all I can say. If you have any questions about the newt just e-mail me. thanks for the questions. I like telling people about my races and classes. thanks thanx thanks bye Tarrker the, very proud, newt Subj: Disaster 3001 Date: 94-09-16 16:28:53 EDT From: Mixer7 Has anyone heard of this???

Is it somehow tied to completing them on the first run through? I have completed all but had to retry the mission several times on some. Also, does it have something to do with the level setting?

Date: 94-09-17 01:05:44 EDT From: JediJackal Sorry I haven't been posting regulary, I've been very busy Will start again in a few days May the Force be with you. GameJackal Master of TIE Fighter Subj: Our fallen comrade Date: 94-09-17 01:13:55 EDT From: XWAce For all of us here in the Guild "death" has become rather commonplace. We all sit around day after day and watch ourselves "die" in our favorite games. We have come to accept "death" as a normal occurence in the small warped space of reality that the media has dubbed cyberspace. In omly for Viper that life could be more like cyberspace. If we could simply press the Restore Pilot button and see our friend return unharmed. But sadly all is not so easy and on September 9th the "game" was ended for one of our comrades. We have never met each other face to face in this glorious made up world of ours. Instead, our images of each other are painted in black and white across a computer screen that has no voice and allows us no visual clues as to who created what we are currently looking at. At yet, unlike a novel or other piece of writing, the bits of us that we share with each other give others a view into our souls. We interact as if we were in the same room talking to each other in real time even though our messages my be days apart. Our little piece of cyberspace has a Guild Hall and a vast galaxy that we need to defend. Unfourtonately, we can live in this wonderous world only in our minds and it is here that Viper will always live for me. His words paint for me a picture of someone who was truly an exceptional individual. He joined the Guild at about the same time as I did and from the start his gifts were obvious. The stories he shared with us we truly remarkable and well beyond the caliber that could be expected from someone his age, so much so that I once even went back to the Guild roster to determine his age for I could not believe that a thirteen year old could write such an engrossing story. He was one of the few to join me in the Stellar Guard and he truly deserved his place in this organization that recognizes high achievement. Evn though I never met him, I feel as if he were someone I knew closely and his loss makes me scream in anger. A life was lost on September 9th, a life that can never be replaced. As hard as we try we cannot bring him back and there will always be an emptiness in the Guild. But, if we honor his memory by creating some sort of award in the Guild that carries his name he will never die for us here. True, Aaron will never die in the hearts of his family and loved ones, but if we really want to prove that the Guild stands for all the lofty ideals and friendships that we say it does then we must do somethign as well. Aaron believed in this little piece of cyberspace and in the friends he made within. Let us honor his memory by doing something in our own communities to combat the epidemic of drunk driving. I am sure Grand Admiral Highlander can attest to the dmage drunk driving has with his profession as an EMT. Let us never forget Aaron here in the Guild, but more importantly let us never forget him in our hearts. Continued in next post..... Subj: Our fallen comrade cont. Date: 94-09-17 01:15:03 EDT From: XWAce There is a public service announcement in my area of the country that shows a thirteen year old boy in a home video swinging on a swing. Interspersed in this video is the message that this boy was killed by a drunk driver. The message will forever more take on a haunting closeness with the untimely death of Aaron. For those of you who are younger and do not yet drive, do your best to keep your parents and relatives from driving drunk. My father had a nasty habit of doing this and even though I knew it was wrong for him to drive I felt I was too young to do anything when I was younger. Luckily, he never did any damage either to himself or to anyone else, but the potential was always dangerously close so I know how it feels to but your life in the hands of someone who has had too much to drink. Always my mother would argue with him that he should not drive and in most cases she won, but on those few occasions that she did not, the drive home was a traumatic experience. I was old enough to know better, but was too afraid to do something. Aaron didn't have a choice, but you do. If you know your parents or whoever is driving you have had too much to drink, don't get in the car. You're probably at someone's house that you know, explain to them why you don't want to go. In the arguement that results at least you will all be alive and you may have kept out of a deadly situation. What I did was stupid, I knew that it was wrong for my father to drive that way, but I did nothing about it. For the other group who do drive, make a pact with yourself, in memory of Aaron, to never drive while intoxicated and to never allow your friends to do so either. If you sit there and say that it would never happen to you, imagine; we're real good at imagining here in cyberspace. You know how you feel after you've had a few. Everything seems better and the world moves slower, this is great. Now you get into your car and start driving along and the world still seems rosy. You feel so alert. Suddenly, a child steps off a curb in front of you and in your slow motion world you watch him go under your car. Still feel rosy Subj: Death is a part of Life Date: 94-09-17 12:14:40 EDT From: Spear10 I found XWACE's post very true and captivating. If it wasn't for Aaron I never would have joined the Guild. I saw one of the many recruting posts he entered and I joined right away. In Wing Commander we must save humanity from the ferocios Kilrathi, In X-Wing and Rebel Assault we fight to save the Galaxy from the dark Empire. And in our chaotic world we must save lives by fighting drunk drivers. It took the life of a comrad to make us see that. We must dedicate some memorial to Aaron Daniels, who means as much as the Guild to me. For without him, I never would have joined. And I wouldn't have benefited from this warm community of friendship and hardships. I feel safe here and I have to thank Aaron for that. -Spear10- May his spirit live on. Subj: corridor 7 and blake stone Date: 94-09-17 14:57:30 EDT From: Codyman Here are two more games that i have that i'd like to review. (note that cor7 is a two level demo and blake stone is the 10level shareware) Well blake stone has those cartoony graphics that you've come to expect from a wolfenstien like shooter. It's no doom but it's still ok. It really is more fun blowing up nazis in wolfenstien than space mutations in blake stone. The only plus is that there are more weapons than wolf3d. Corridor seven is about the same as blake except it has better graoics and you must go to comartments and ammo dispensers instead of finding everything on the floor. The monsters are more interesting but it's still no doom. You can drop mines on the ground that explode when a monster or you come near them. Since it was a demo i only had one weapon so i really can't tell you much about the guns in the game. Out of both of them i recomend corr7 more than stone because it's scarier(still not that same bone chilling feeling as doom) and alittle more fun. Subj: reb assault2,darkforces,tiedisk Date: 94-09-17 15:00:39 EDT From: Codyman Who was talking about rebel assault 2? Anyone know anything about dark forces? Anyone know about the tie mission disk?

Subj: Tie Editor Date: 94-09-17 16:49:17 EDT From: Spacer123 Hey Haplo94, I didn't like your Ship editor (IFL) But you do know how to rewrite TIE Fighter. Ever Think about making an TIE Mission Editor? I'm Dying to play some new missions for Tie. Ever Think About it? Spacer123 Subj: Re:Secret Order Date: 94-09-17 18:37:51 EDT From: Skylord9 I am not sure if you can get into the Secret Order on easy, try another setting and see what happens. I got in (BARELY) on Hard. I don't think that completing missions on the first run-through counts(?). Tell me if you get in. Sorry if I did not help you much. -Skylord Subj: Thanks for letting me in... Date: 94-09-17 18:41:27 EDT From: Skylord9 I once again apologize that I have not been active in the Guild, but I've been busy with some sims. I will try to live up to the memory of warriors who came before me. It is nice to be officaly recognized as a member of this prestigious organization. -Skylord Subj: Rebel Assault 2 Date: 94-09-17 18:44:18 EDT From: Skylord9 I have not played any of Star Wars other than TIE, but I know that Rebel Assault 1 was awesome and that TIE was awesome. What's all this talk about Rebel Assault Two? Any info?? Thanks for any info. -Skylord Subj: T-Shirt info Date: 94-09-17 19:38:22 EDT From: RolandSk Okay, this is the story. I have almost no graphics form other games to make the T-Shirt. I need the words X-Wing and that part will be finsihed. Make sure the words X-Wing are small. Privateer / Righteous Fire is completed. I need other games. I am dedicating the T-Shirt in memory of Aaron so we may remember him as we proudly wear our Guild T-Shirts. This may never happen if you don't send me graphics. Tie Figther is huge in the guild, why not send some of those graphics to me. Remember, PCXDUMP is a great screen capturer, just download it and help us out. I can't hold onto this idea any more. Do it for the Guild! Sir Wells Bumed out T-Shirt designer Subj: I got it wow! Date: 94-09-17 21:14:48 EDT From: Samurai 1 Wow I just bought X-Wing and haven't been able to put the controler down although it is fun is there any way to add pilots? any Help will be a big help. Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Re:Tie Editor Date: 94-09-17 22:14:53 EDT From: Haplo94 Sorry, I don't know that much about the code. The Ship editor was extremely easy to figure out, but missions would be aa different story. *****Rogue Leader Subj: Re:Secret Order Date: 94-09-17 22:19:37 EDT From: Haplo94 It depends on the number of points that you score in missions, where all secondary goals were completed. I have attained the sixth order, known as the "Emperors Hand". If you want to get this far, you must play on hard, with collisions on, and complete all secondary missions throughout the game. *****Rogue Leader Subj: RE: Lost member Date: 94-09-17 23:10:06 EDT From: BenF210 Such a shame. I'll miss him Subj: Secert Order. Date: 94-09-18 00:20:42 EDT From: Spacer123 Boy, this is really causing a lot of confusion in the Guild. Rouge Leader is right. Secondary Goals are how you attain rank. I palyed the game on medium, and Got to the Forth Order by completing most of the Secondary objectives. Subj: Uh oh.... Date: 94-09-18 16:51:50 EDT From: Skylord9 I sincerely apologize to the Guild. I just remembered that I forgot to say whether or not I wanted to be included in the military or civilian ranks of the Guild. I wish to be included in the military ranks. I also have a question about promotions. When are they going to be announced? Subj: Recruiting message posted. Date: 94-09-18 17:21:20 EDT From: Skylord9 Following rules and regulations. This is to inform the Guild that I have posted a recruiting message in the New Flight Clubs Folder. Subj: Tie Add on Date: 94-09-18 19:01:49 EDT From: DVader27 I have recently heard from other posts about the tie add on disk. when is this going to be released tie is awesome and i can't wait to play an even better version. also rebel assault 2? when is this going to be released? also i got to the fourth order of the secret circle on easy. i don't know if this helps anybody, but i tried to do every thing the cloaked figure asked. maybe it will.

Welcome aboard Dark Jedi! ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Aliens Doom Date: 94-09-18 23:44:15 EDT From: Highlan332 Tarrker- I see that you are stopping work on Aliens Doom because you think no one is interested. I don't believe that is the case. After looking over the posts, it seems like you are frustrated because no one is sending you Aliens graphics. Well, as far as I know, there aren't many out there. In addition, I thought YOU were working on the project. It would be nice if the members could send you some graphics but it is YOUR project. In all the posts, I didn't see anything about what you had accomplished to date. How far have you managed to get on the project? Have you tried looking for Aliens graphics online or tried creating them yourself? I think the project shows merit and I'd like to see you finish it. Don't get frustrated, though, if members don't send you graphics. The graphics may not be readily available and, after all, it is your project. ...-=Highlander=-... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subj: Viper's Death? Date: 94-09-18 23:44:54 EDT From: Highlan332 After writing something about how much I missed Viper, I decided that I should verify his death. At this point, I want you all to know that his death has NOT been verified. CandiceIam posted the initial report saying that Viper was killed by a drunk driver in Huntsville, AL on Sep. 9th. I called both the Alabama State Patrol and the Huntsville Police. Neither agency has any record of an Aaron Daniels (Viper's real name) being killed on Sep. 9th. I have chatted with CandiceIam online and she doesn't have Aaron's number or that of his parents. She has not been to any funeral and hasn't been in contact with Aaron's parents since his dad brought the computer over. I will look into this further if I am able. I'm not suggesting that Viper was not killed, but at this point, all we know for sure is that he no longer has an AOL account. I'll keep you posted. ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Catching up... Date: 94-09-18 23:45:19 EDT From: Highlan332 I'm working hard to catch up on mail, so bear with me. I have been asked why I don't delegate more authority. Believe me, I'd like to. The problems is, every time I start considering giving some of my authority to someone, that person leaves the Guild for some reason. In the past, I have considered asking Junglsnipr (Viper), Echo Six, and Tom2521570 (Rogue Leader) to help with the administrative duties, but they all ended up having to leave the Guild for one reason or another. The problem is that I have to have someone who is both very capable and EXTREMELY reliable to help out. I would be doing you all a disservice if I allowed someone to oversee your promotions, for instance, and then that person stopped logging on. At that point, not only would you be left hanging but I would no longer have up-to-date records of who needed what. Believe me, when one of you rises above the rest, shows his intelligence, and most importantly, prove to me that you can be counted on to do your duty like clockwork for months on end, you will hear from me. I'd love help but many of you have shown problems with even posting regularly. Anyway, be patient, I've got a lot of irons in the fire. :-D Grand Admiral Highlander []==ͺͺͺͺͺ{½+½+½+½+½+½+½+½+½++++ Subj: Dark Forces Date: 94-09-19 16:40:30 EDT From: Jedi 007 I was flipping through a computer games mag (I forget which, had Dark Forces on cover) and read about Dark Forces.

Rebel 2???? Subj: T-Shirt ideas are Dying Date: 94-09-19 17:29:34 EDT From: RolandSk Fellow Guild Members, Okay, this is it. If I cannot get any T-Shirt graphics soon I am going to have to abandon the project. As I can see you really don't care about the guild as I thought you all would. I think as a guild be must all stick together and make sure people know about us. This is why the T-Shirt idea is so good. It shows us how we are all together as one soul. We are always together in a Cargo shipment from New Detroit to Basque, or defending Confederation space from the evil Kilrathi. Saving the people of the Allience from evil Empire, Dark Side foes. We are always together in what ever we do, be it from a game to real life. That is the point I am trying to make about this. If you don't want to be involved then just say it. I don't know why you are ignoring me. I really want to get this done and without your help this is all just a dream and a really waste of time. We should be proud of what we are. We always help each other out on Sci-Fi games why not in something we can wear and show our friends. The choice is up to you. That is all I have for now. If I don't get anything soon, then this whole idea is over. Sir Wells Subj: Re: T-Shirt Date: 94-09-19 17:32:44 EDT From: BenF210 I will be sending you some graphics from X-Wing as soon as I get the time to upload them. Flight Leader Wedge Master of X-Wing Subj: Members Date: 94-09-19 17:36:59 EDT From: BenF210 Is it just me or has the Guild gone downhill a little since its big increase a month ago. Weve lost our top three members and it seems most of the current members, me included, haven't picked up the pace. I am aiming to change that and will be uploading more missions and stories. Flight Leader Wedge \bl\ Master of X-Wing \ue\ Subj: RE: Alien Doom Date: 94-09-19 17:57:44 EDT From: Tarrker I wasn't JUST asking for alien graphics, I was asking for positive response. I'm still working on it. I've created some convincing alien graphics but thier heads are wierdly colored. I also have started 2 great levels. 1 is complete and I still have 3 to go. I'm leaving AOL for a few days so I can do some HEAVY work on both aliens AND the car theme. Before I leave though? DO you have any suggestions on what type of car I should put in? I WILL put in a Mercedeces and a pickup but what else. thanks Tarrker Subj: WC 3 and VIper Date: 94-09-19 17:58:54 EDT From: Skylord9 I'd like to get off the subject of TIE for a while. I read something about WC 3 (Heart of the Tiger) in a magazine recently. Origin and the mag say that this game is going to be the next X-Wing. From what I have seen of Origin's so-called "hits" I seriously doubt it. TIE beats Privateer any day, and you are hearing this from a hardened WC fan. I would also like to take this time to honor Viper. I did not know him real well, but he seems like a great guy. There should be some type of specia Award named after him so that future guild members will remember his name. Subj: Car add-on for DOOM! Date: 94-09-19 18:00:09 EDT From: Tarrker I need some ideas as to what type of cars to use. So far I'm going to use a Mercedeces and a pickup. Does anyone have any requests as to what type of cars THEY want. Please E-mail me. I won't be checking the bulletin board for a few days. thank you Subj: SIR!! SIR!! Date: 94-09-19 18:01:39 EDT From: AIC HOUSE SIR, WE LOS....HOUSE, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU SHIP?? SIR, THEY HIT US FROM BEHIND!!! WHO?? THE KILRATHI WERE EVERYWHERE.. HOLD ON, HOLD ON!!. Now calm down and tell me what happened. Well sir, Rogue leader, Viper, and I were escorting Boostramp to Oxford like you ordered. We landed, Made sure Boostramp got set up in school and all. Then started to head home. Rogue Leader and I were on launch lift one, Viper got two. As the lifts were lifting us up to the launch pad, lift two got jammed. I could see Viper's hands in the air, as he wondered how the hell he was going to get his Centurion out the lift tunnel. As you know when that happens, it can take several hours to get it working again. As we got to the top of the lift, Commander Rouge Leader decided, Being the filght leader, that we would wait for him in space. Oxford was going to need the only working lift they had. As Rogue Leader cleared Oxford, he said he radar would't come up. As soon as I was Clear, I fired up my radar, only to find it was not working either. I had about twenty five or so, small bilps junping around every where. They were well within lasar range, but i didn't see anything. It wasn't until i noticed the bilps were moving into a formation and my ITTS was tracking them, that i realized the must be clocked ships. Right about that time, the whole aft section and port wing of the Commander's Centurion blew up. I saw him eject but they picked him up before I could Get to him. I switched to Infrared, and they they were. About twenty five Kilrathi. I Hit the shields and the burners at the same time. I tried to get the hell out of dodge, but no joy. I don't know what they had in thoes things, but they were very fast. I locked up the first one I saw and let two FF's go as I told Viper what was going on. I knew there was no way he would be able to fly his ship out the lift tunnel without killing himself, so I ordered him not to try. He said "F _ _ _ That, I'll be there in a second. Right about that time I took two missles in the port side. I don't remember every thing that happened after that, it all happened so fast. After I lost most of the foward armor and still having about twenty ships left to go I knew I was done for. I started thinking how Viper had ate it, tring to fly out that lift tunnel. Then out of no where the the two Kilrathi on my 6, blew all to hell. It was Viper. He had made it. As he flew past me, he said, over the comm system, "Hows it going up here?" The he went into a afterburner slide and began firing right at me. Suddenly I saw a large flash of my port side. They were tying to ram me. But he dad saved my butt. Well after a few moments, the odds were much better, but I had lost my port manuvering jets. When I lost my starboard jets, they saw there chance to ram me and put me out the game. There was nothing i could do about it. I knew with all the damage I had taken, my ejection system wasn't going to work. Viper's lasers were overheated and he was out of missles. So what he did was ram him while he was tring to ram me. Viper's shields were way down, so when they hit, both ships blew into pieces. I dont think thers any way he could have survived that. There was still two left, but they were hurt, so I hit the burners and got out of town. . . Thats the way I want to remember it. We all play these sims because we like to make the game world seem real world. Sometimes I would rather make the real world seem like a game world. ___Senior Ensign House___ Subj: I'm Back Date: 94-09-19 18:15:13 EDT From: AIC HOUSE Well, Hello fellow Guild members.

Cheif Dark Jedi Subj: On-Line Chat Session Date: 94-09-25 03:04:23 EDT From: DavidC8169 On Sunday, October 2nd at 8:00pm Central (6:00pm Pacific) I will host an On-Line Chat for any and all people interested. The room will be open for 1 hour, unless no one shows up after 5-10 minutes. The room will be known as "Snake's Den." The topic of discussion will be about the Warrior's Guild (for any non-members who show up) or any computer sci-fi simulation games(Games such as F-15 and Strike Commander are simulations, but the Warrior's Guild is dedicated to SCIENCE FICTION simulations, not modern-day sims. X-Wing, the Wing Commander Series, Tie Fighter, Doom, and Mechwarrior are all excellent examples of sci-fi sims.) As stated above any and all people who read this message are invited to attend the Chat Session and learn about the Guild, you are also invited to join. If you wish to join now simply E-mail Highlan332 or me, DavidC8169, and ask for the club guidelines. This five-page document details the goals, organization, ranks, location of the club, and how to join.

Subj: rebel assault 2 Date: 94-09-25 13:14:40 EDT From: EORE69 i ask my cousin and he thinks he can get me a demo of rebel assault two but i cant give it out to any body. The real thing should come out march 95 chief jedi Subj: Re:rebel assault 2 Date: 94-09-25 20:06:17 EDT From: Samurai 1 Then why tell us?!! If you can't give us a peek will you at least tell us about it? Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Re:rebel assault 2 Date: 94-09-26 01:26:01 EDT From: DVader27 i really didn't think rb1 was that cool of game. sure the graphics were superb, but the game control simply lacked any type of real simulation type control. and to be honest with you when rb2 comes out i'll probably go buy it and play it till i solve it. call me crazy, but those damn sci-fi games really catch my interest. Midshipman DVader27 Subj: Doom II Date: 94-09-26 16:55:38 EDT From: Jedi 007 Today I got a Doom II promotional flyer in the mail... I was kind of disappointed by what I saw 'cause it looks like the only improvements are more monsters... I was kind of hoping for some more weapons, etc... Aw, well. -= B =- Oh, have you all gotten Guild Gossip yet...? Subj: Armada....A really rough review. Date: 94-09-26 18:10:10 EDT From: Skylord9 One of my friends just got Armada, and it is something... The graphics, sound, and stroryline are all pretty good(the storyline is not too original). I also like how the game takes on more of a strategy look(fleets, and other stuff). This is just a rough assessment, since I only played it for about an hour (I did OK?), but from what I've seen it looks pretty cool. Subj: SWDOOM/Dark Forces Date: 94-09-26 18:39:22 EDT From: PeterA3818 The Star Wars version of Doom and Dark Forces are very related!! In my oppinion the LucasArts one is better because of more weapons, enemies, and in general variety!! The DOOM will work because it is trated as an add-on and not as a stand alone game. Price is always a factor!! Muad'Dib Subj: Guild Gossip Date: 94-09-26 18:39:57 EDT From: PeterA3818 Great Job guys can't wait for the next 'ish!!! Subj: WC III Date: 94-09-26 19:01:02 EDT From: Magnfcent7 >> You Imperial TIE pilots can actually find out how it feels to waste a >>BAD-guy and fly for a GOOD cause. Bad... good... It all depends what side of the gun you're on. Anybody got Armada yet? I played it at Software Etc. for a few minutes the other day, and it looks all right. TIE still beats the pants off of it, from what I saw, which admittedly was not much. Dark Jedi, my hat's off to you. That little TIE Fighter graphic is really cool. Terminator "...not to get information, but because it's amusing to me to torture you..." Subj: Re:Doom II Date: 94-09-27 00:52:02 EDT From: DavidC8169 A co-worker says he has a copy of DOOM II and will give it to me. But in the meantime, anyone that has a CD-ROM drive can check issue # 5 of Interactive Entertainment, it's a magazine on CD. This issue previews DOOM II, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Hunt, The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual, Cyclones, and Star Crusader. As for DOOM II, you get one new weapon, the "Super Shotgun." You start with the regular shotgun and have to find this. It is essentialy a double barrel shotgun that fires both barrels at once, it causes more damage to the Bad Guys, but takes longer to reload. Bad news on MechWarrior II, it's due for release sometime in March '95! and DOOM II has been pushed back to 10/10/94. Anybody see the BattleTech cartoon this weekend, it looked interesting. Lieutenant Snake Eyes Subj: Dark Forces Date: 94-09-27 01:50:27 EDT From: Spacer123 any body got the release date for Dark Forces? Even a estimation will do. Senior Chief Spacer123 Master of TIE Fighter Subj: Re:Doom II Date: 94-09-27 07:31:53 EDT From: Forfiv It also has a deathmatch 2.0 in which all items that you can use to your benifit will reappear after about 1-2 minutes this gives you the oppotunity to stay in one level as long as yuo like with your human enemy. -also you can select no monsters in the menu in setup foryour deathmatch Four-Five Subj: Re:Dark Forces Date: 94-09-27 18:13:55 EDT From: PeterA3818 Yeah "Coming at the end of the year is a brand new Star Wars inspired 3D game" From the ADVENTURER Subj: Jack is back Date: 94-09-27 19:03:30 EDT From: GameJackal Howdy all.

It takes perseverance to make it in the Guild. These two have shown they are on the road to greater things. Congratulations! ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Position Available Date: 94-09-28 02:19:18 EDT From: Highlan332 A few members of the Guild have suggested that I delegate some authority in order to lessen my workload so that I may keep up with your messages more easily. This idea does have merit. On average, I get eight to ten pieces of mail every day! This doesn't count the messages in the Guild folders. I am looking for a RELIABLE member to take on some duties to help out with running the club. The duty available would be keeping track of posts and points received. Whoever volunteers and is then chosen for this duty will sign on to AOL every two to three days, and log all of the messages in our folders. After signing off, the member will read through the messages, making a list of who posted, when, and will use the word-counter on their word processor to determine and record how many points each message was worth. The member will then send me a text file every three or four days listing the screen names of all the members who posted, the dates of their posts, and how many total points they received for their posts. I will still read and reply to posts but this will relieve me of the task of keeping track of all the points for the posts. Whoever volunteers for this MUST be RELIABLE. As you can see, if this person shrugs off the duty for awhile, you will all suffer, as no one will be crediting you for your posts. Should this Guild "records keeper" perform his duties well, I will certainly award him points for his work. The Guild is becoming large and hard to manage for one person. I'd like to have you all show me that you can be counted on to carry out the tasks necessary to run this club. That way, I can relax a bit and actually get back into PLAYING the games we discuss. :-) Anyone interested in volunteering should contact me via e-mail. ½½½+++Highlander++++++ Subj: War Cry !!BONUSES!! Date: 94-09-28 02:19:50 EDT From: Highlan332 For those members who subscribe to War Cry, I will be running the contests from time to time. For the most part, these will be random drawings and the PRIZES will be current software such as Wing Commander, Outpost or X-Com. These contests are just one way of rewarding those who support the fully-functional version of War Cry. As I stated before, a text-only version will be uploaded for those who do not subscribe. In addition, I want to encourage people to submit material for War Cry. I will keep track of those who submit substantive material and will occasionally have special prize drawings limited to contributors only. Submissions need to be thorough and may consist of GAME REVIEWS, PREVIEWS, FICTION, or EDITORIALS. To qualify for entry into the contributor drawings, your material MUST BE USED in War Cry NOT just submitted. In other words, take the time to polish your work. Read reviews done in other magazines to get a feel for the style. Anyone interested in contributing may e-mail me for more detailed instructions as to content. ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Master of Tie Fighter Awarded Date: 94-09-28 02:20:14 EDT From: Highlan332 Flight Leader Wedge (BenF210) has been awarded the title "Master of Tie Fighter" for his continuing contributions of posts, fiction, and files dedicated to the LucasArts' Tie Fighter. Wedge also holds the title Master of X-Wing, so don't hesitate to call on his expertise vial post or e-mail if you need help. Senior Chief Switch Blade has also been awarded the Master of Tie Fighter title. He has been with us less than a month but has shown an aggressive, go get 'em attitude that I like. Congratulations Wedge and Switch Blade! May the Dark Side be with you...

I haven't really thought this out and may decide it's a bad idea but I'd like to get some intelligent feedback from you. What I'm looking at are branches such as squadrons, the Stellar Guard, Marine platoons, or something else that would add color to the Guild and give some of you an opportunity to lead. On the negative side, I wouldn't want our folder to become dominated by fictitious branch material or our regular reviews, comments, and uploads to decrease. On the positive side, I would expect the branch commanders to recruit members into the club by enticing them with their branch. I would also expect the commanders to set standards for their branch that would add somehow to the Guild as a whole. Send me your questions or comments. If you'd be interested in starting and leading a branch, this is the information I'd need from you before I consider it; 1) What is the proposed name of the branch? 2) What is the fictional background of the branch and how does it tie in with the Warriors guild. (members of the Stellar Guard, for example, serve as personal bodyguards to the Admiralty and as honor guards at official Guild functions)? 3) What would be the real life activities of the branch? 4) What would requirements for entry into the branch be? What would be the ongoing requirements? 5) If you want to lead the branch, discuss your qualifications as they relate to the Guild (ie. I have always been on-time with posts, I have uploaded ten files, I contributed to the t-shirt, etc.) 6) How would your branch add to the club in a positive manner? 7) Miscellaneous- anything else you feel is important. Again, I am only looking into the idea. If members come up with good suggestions, I'll share them with you. ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Rebel Assault 2..what is new? Date: 94-09-28 17:08:22 EDT From: Skylord9 I know the release date and all that for rebel assault 2, but what is new in the game(EORE, can you give any info?) Are there any new ships or weapons? Does it have any Dark Forcy type of scenes, or is it just space? Subj: Re:RE: Alien Doom Date: 94-09-28 22:08:49 EDT From: Whitehawk Put in a neon as one of the cars!!! Sienior LT Whitehawk Subj: Re:WC 3 Date: 94-09-28 22:11:42 EDT From: Whitehawk No offens to you but hey man Privateer beats tie any day of the mont/week/hour!! If WC3 is anywere as near as good as privateer then lucasfilm will be beat. Plus you have never played Strike Comander ever have you?. It also bets tie up and down the street. Sienior LT Whitehawk Subj: Re:Branches Within the Guild Date: 94-09-28 22:24:48 EDT From: Whitehawk We should most defanately have a stellar guard branch and a Marine platoon branch. I am not saying I should head either of them but they are bout important because only ground pounders can take cities. These flyboys might look like the real herose but it takes a lot more guts to kill a person face to face and know that you will remember him for the rest of your life. Not saying that flying is any easyer but 'ponders have a much harder job. Sienior LT whitehawk Subj: Response to Various Posts Date: 94-09-29 00:35:44 EDT From: DavidC8169 Dark Forces is expected to ship out sometime in December. Congratulations to Senior Chief's Switch Blade and Skylord on their promotions. For those interested LucasArts is planning an X-Wing Collector's CD due to ship out 10/20/94. As for the Chat Session, I have posted the same message in other Folders (Tie Fighter, Wing Commander I & II, and so on) in an attempt to attract new members. I plan on non-members showing up to learn about the Guild and what we stand for and if interested to join. Current members can attend to chat about Guild related topics. Lieutenant Snake Eyes Subj: X-Wing CD Date: 94-09-29 09:35:46 EDT From: Tim Rayner What will be on the X-wing collectors CD? Subj: Re:Branches Within the Guild Date: 94-09-29 16:23:02 EDT From: AIC HOUSE Just wanted to add a idea. If we do set up the branches within the Guild, the leaders of each branch could do the job of counting the post for each of his people. Each branch would consist people in thier special area. I.E. Ground pounders, X-Wing related Flyboys, Priviteer related Flyboys, etc. Subj: Re:Branches (cont) Date: 94-09-29 16:34:43 EDT From: AIC HOUSE Hit the wronge keys: Reasons why: 1. If a person did prove to be not responsible, not the whole Guild would suffer. 2. With the counting of all the post job being, it would be easier to do. Making a person more likely to want to do the job. even when they dont feel like it. 3. Not only will the warriors have pride in the Guild, but also the brance they are in. Reasons not to: Too many cooks .... Just an idea. BTW...As a Flyboy, It may be harder (I dont think so) as a ground pounder. But it's also can be very boring. ___Senior Ensign House___ Live long if you dare.... Subj: T-Shirt near completion Date: 94-09-29 16:39:37 EDT From: RolandSk Fellow members, As the title says the shirt is near completion. Highlander will be sending them out for your idea's on changes. Please get back to both of us on the subject so we I can make final modifcations and get this shirt out already. Sir Wells Subj: Absence Date: 94-09-29 18:52:34 EDT From: SAnders438 Sorry that I haven't posted for awhile. Grand Admiral, I know that this puts me back on the advancement list to square one, but I hope that I don't loose the rank I have already achieved. Where is everyone picking up WC3 Armada? I haven't seen it out anywhere here in Phoenix. Give me some hints! Also, has anyone heard anything else on the next edition of Privateer? If anyone wants the complete cheat file for Subwar 2050, e-mail me and I'll send it to you. It's alot of fun except that it was designed to make it almost impossible to kill the enemy subs, while your sub is quite vulnerable. Good Hunting! Senior Chief Skippy Subj: A man after my own heart Date: 94-09-29 19:32:04 EDT From: Spear10 Whitehawk told you exactly how I feel about WC3 ( no offense) If you like Whitehawk I can send you a complete information file that will tell you almost everything you need to know about WC3. -Spear10- Subj: X-Wing CD/WC3 Armada ? Date: 94-09-30 00:09:21 EDT From: DavidC8169 I don't know for sure but you would think it's X-Wing with both Add-ons. It's Wing Commander Armada, not Wing Commander 3 Armada. Wing Commander 3 is a separate game. Lieutenant Snake Eyes Subj: MechWarrior II Date: 94-09-30 00:13:55 EDT From: DavidC8169 I have heard two different rumors as to the delay, one is that the program was almost finshed, when they discovered it would not work with an Expanded Memory Manager (EMM386, QEMM) and had to be rewritten completly. The other reason is that Dynamix and Activision worked together on the first MechWarrior and since Dynamix is bringing out two new games, (Battledrome and Earth Siege) using the same engine and they are not letting Activision use that engine. Therefore Activision must write their own, brand new engine for the game. Lieutenant Snake Eyes Subj: Re:MechWarrior II Date: 94-09-30 03:01:57 EDT From: Samurai 1 So like, WHY DON'T they release that info in the press relese? Confusing! Well any way thanx for the info for I to am looking foarward to MW2. What are the other games you mentiond that sierra is making? are they like MW games? Thanx for any info! Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Armada/no Phoenix...and T-shirt Date: 94-09-30 19:50:09 EDT From: Skylord9 My friend told me that he picked up Armada in Egghead. In Atlanta it is ouit now. Maybe Armada has not been released in Phoenix or something yet (I doubt it.) I am planning on gettin it in a week or so. By the way, whatever happened to the idea of putting in the funeral scene from Wc II in the T-shirt. I think that would be a fitting tribute to our guild member.... ****((((Senior Chief Skylord))))**** Subj: Re: Guild Branches Date: 94-09-30 19:55:28 EDT From: Skylord9 I think that making branches within the Guild is a good idea. The guild is growing larger and larger and dividing the guild into branches may be a more efficient way to run it. I also agree with the idea that ground troops receive less credit. It's true. The flyboys may be able to kill a machine, but ground troops are able to kill a man while staring at his face (Dark Forces branch?). I also like the idea of appointing people as branch leaders. This will help make the guild more efficient. ****((((Senior Chief Skylord))))**** Subj: Recruitment posts Date: 94-09-30 20:31:29 EDT From: Skylord9 I have posted 2 recruitment posts-1 in the Lucasarts X-wing and1 in Rebel Squadrons folder. Subj: Dark Forces Date: 94-10-01 00:21:01 EDT From: XWAce I have been reading several reviews about this new game called Dark Forces. It appears that it will go along the lines of a Doom-like arcade style shooting game that places you in the first person. You are a Rebel spy that must escape from an Imperial base after finding some plans. Sounds like it could be interesting. Lieutenant XWAce Subj: Re:Dark Forces Date: 94-10-01 02:52:00 EDT From: Ironman Yeah, and it looks pretty good too, there are some slides of it in the Lucas Arts software libary. Ironman Subj: Re: MechWarrior II Date: 94-10-01 03:12:04 EDT From: DavidC8169 Samurai 1, The games that Sierra are making are similiar to MechWarrior in the sense that you pilot a big Mech. Earth Siege I can't remember what it's about. Battledrome is (if I remember correctly) modem-capable, in which you and one other player (human or computer) are pitted against one another in battle. The first rumor (about the Memory Manager) I found in the FASA folder in the Online Games area. The other rumor (New game engine) I heard from someone on Prodigy. Skylord9, You should be able to find it in any computer software store. Lieutenant Snake Eyes Subj: Absence Date: 94-10-01 08:05:14 EDT From: Tarrker Sorry that I've been gone so long but I'm back! And I brought Aliens with me AAAAGGGHHHH! I also got started on the car add-on for DOOM! I'll also be putting an arena episode on-line in a few days. It is a complete episode of arena levels. Deathmatch, cooperative OR singular you name it episode's got it.! Thanks for all the response with Alien DOOM. You guys really got me thinking. Also thanks for the car ideas. Subj: lunicus Date: 94-10-01 10:49:25 EDT From: Codyman Anybody have lunicus? I just bought it two days ago and beat it on level easy. It's a pretty good game. What does anybody else think or want to know about it? Subj: Re: MechWarrior II Date: 94-10-01 11:27:00 EDT From: Samurai 1 Thanx for the info I think I will give it a try! Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Re:lunicus Date: 94-10-01 11:28:46 EDT From: Samurai 1 What kind of game is it? I like the name tho tell us about it! Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Armada Date: 94-10-01 16:16:15 EDT From: RolandSk I got it but the game is real complicated. It isn't the way I thought it would be, like privateer graphics. That is what is real good. I also thought it would be more like WC 1 and 2. It's a turn game. Basically it's almost all colonization. I am thinking of returning it. Anyone else who has it tell me more about it, and if it's good for you. Sir Wells Subj: TIE FIGHTER Date: 94-10-01 16:22:33 EDT From: MATEO 15 I BEAT IT!!!!!!!!!

Subj: Armada Date: 94-10-01 23:17:43 EDT From: Magnfcent7 Who has it? Is it as good as TIE? I'd like to get it, but... at $55 bucks, it has to be great for me to spend any time on it. BTW, does anybody know if there's a point to getting medallions in the TF Combat Chamber? Does it increase your score, or is it just a waste of time? Terminator "Free free, set him free..." Subj: Is Tie-Fighter anygood? Date: 94-10-02 00:25:29 EDT From: MUSHER MAN The Alliance and the Empire is at it again with Tie-Fighter. Can anyone give a recommandation if it's any good? By the way if Tie-Fighter centers on the Empire Strikes Back movie will LucasArts make X-Wing 2 about Return of the Jedi. And on the subject of movies everyone should know that in 1997 there is going to be another Star Wars movie. Subj: Guild Branches Date: 94-10-02 10:46:51 EDT From: BenF210 This is a definate must IF we can keep the posting up. There should be a Steelar Guard, Officers Club, and others. I dont really know what those others should be but there should be more than two branches after a wwhile anyway. Things are lookin good from the sector and a new mission is being planned by sector command.

Without submissions, we have nothing to print!! Sir Wells, I think the T-Shirt Graphic is phenomenol, but, alas, I cannot afford to buy one. I was at Babbages the other day and they have Doom II on preorder... you get a hint book with it. On another note, I've been using Logitech's Cyberman in my simming, and it is great!! If you don't know, Cyberman is this futuristic looking mouse/joystick. It's kinda' like a mouse that is mounted on a joystick. It has tactile feedback (read: it moves when you get hit) and can move in siz diffirent directions! It's really great, take a look at it. Well, that's all for now...

Date: 94-10-03 09:43:46 EDT From: FlintCop Anyone got any tips on how to beat X-wing? I am having difficulties with TOD 1 and 3. Are there any cheats available I have slaved over this one! Thanks, Matt Subj: Oops! Date: 94-10-03 09:45:17 EDT From: FlintCop On my application I forgot to mention; I would like to be in the Military version of the Warriors Guild and my call sign is Blue Leader. Sorry. Subj: Welcome to the Guild Flintcop! Date: 94-10-03 14:03:41 EDT From: Skylord9 Welcome to the Guild, Blue Leader. You are now a member of a prestigious and honorable organization. Guild members are friendly and knowledgeable and will help you out in anyway that they can! I hope that you become a great member in this organization. If you have any more question, don't hesitate to ask! Congrats on joining! -Senior Chief Skylord Subj: Guild Gossip Date: 94-10-03 18:19:45 EDT From: B Blaze Great first issue. Not as good as War Cry, though. But still good. I'll be looking forward to issue number 2. -B.B. Subj: Armada / WC3 Date: 94-10-04 15:28:36 EDT From: RolandSk Does anyone here have Armada. I have it, but I wan't that happy with it. I wanted the graphics to be more like Privateer and less like the original version of WC (I and II). Does anyone know what WC3 is going to look like or what the plot is? I im interested in buying it. Also a note for all CD ROM owners. If you are interested in Armada for the CD don't get it. It has no other features that the regular disk version. Its only purpose is so you can play it on the CD to save space and it sometimes doesn't work because the CD ROM drivers take up a lot of extended memory. The disk version is just as good and it costs around 10 dollars less. Sir Wells Subj: Our own section!! Date: 94-10-04 20:41:16 EDT From: Jedi 007 YES!! Here's what we've been waiting for!!

I'll try and schedule another one soon. Lieutenant Snake Eyes Subj: sorry Date: 94-10-05 00:22:11 EDT From: DVader27 I incorrectly told my brothers that Wal-Marst had WC3. Well there is this cardboard display case that says WC3 now here, but it has no boxes anywhere. Well it is apparently only a pre-order form display. Sorry. Also I have never played or seen any of the WC series of games and am feeling quit left out here in the guild. I am an extreme Star Wars buff and have all the games assoc. with that. Well at Wal-Mart they had WC1 for 15 bucks. So I had to snag it and see what all the fuss was about. I'll tell you all how I like it in a few. Midshipman DVader27 (Hayseed) Subj: OUR OWN BOARD!!!!

I'd like to thank PC Roger for his help in getting us established here. As you can see, we are slowly "movin' up in the world", so keep plugging away.

As for whoever asked about Lunicus: It is a game set in earth's future where man is being invaded by alien beings from a distant planet...hmm sounds familiar.....................oh yeah i remember that's the plot for about ever game coming out these days..............oh well. Even if it isn't original it's still a pretty good game. In it you search buildings and streets of cities blowing up aliens. In your base you can go to other people and talk to them about what is going on too. It isn't much like doom besides the fact that you shoot alot, but the game engine is different(can you believe a game company would actually try to make a game even slightly different than a Doom -like shoot em up!!) It is a pretty good game, but i don't suggest playing it on easy because i beat it in two days on easy................... Subj: Doom II Date: 94-10-05 22:54:18 EDT From: Magnfcent7 Gentlemen! Doom II is alive and well, and any of you who enjoyed Doom should DEFINITELY get it! Did you think you were GOOD? Just wait until you play a round of Doom II. Can you hack having things shoot at you from places you can't even see? HARD! HARD! HARD! Anyway, the super shotgun kicks big time. Now, could we equip a TIE with one of those things... Terminator "...Cheetah speed, fifty, sixty miles an hour if they get out in the open..." Subj: WG Moving Up! Date: 94-10-06 15:35:06 EDT From: RolandSk This is really great. We are moving up, quickly. Maybe the Warriors Guild can become of nation-wide guild where members from all of the country and maybe even the world can join. Just imagine what can happen. I am also asking for peoples views on the T-Shirt graphics. I made on final copy and it will be passes around if it hasn't already. All of my graphic can be used on a desktop in Windows or any thing that can except BMP's PCX's GIF's TIFF's and almost every kindd of graphic.

Subj: INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT Date: 94-10-07 18:42:18 EDT From: Spear10 When I was at Egghead the other day( I didn't get anything, my dad did) I got something Really Cool FREE! It's called IE for Interactive Entertainment, it's a CD-ROM magazine devoted only to GAMES! You see a screen shot or video clip while the narrator narrates what's happening and what he thought of the game. It has cool articles on upcoming titles, demos, a FREE game and even a little article on MECHWARRIOR II. It even beats the pants off PC Gamer. Oh yeah, it also has this Multimedia Interactive Interview with Larry Holland. You should know who he is. -Spear10- Subj: Where are you guys? Date: 94-10-07 19:41:55 EDT From: Zach EXCO Over 200 people have downloaded my Executor Wing files. However, only ten people have applied. What problems do you have with the Wing? Are the requirements too hard? Do you not like the idea of a conference each week. Please send your grips to me by E-Mail or leave them in the NEW TIE WING folder in the Organazations board. I also accept suggestions. General Slaton Zach EXCO Subj: Anyone know how to beat Doom II? Date: 94-10-07 23:54:07 EDT From: Magnfcent7 I've made it to the last level, and it's HARD!!!!! There's this big minotaur looking panel on one wall, and apparently it's the bad guy, but you can't shoot it! It just throws out monsters left and right. Let me put it this way, brothers: You can be killed while in God mode. HARD! Anyone but me played this thing yet? I sort of think Id dropped the ball. Although the double-barrel is nice, it's the only new weapon, and most of the new enemies, although neat, are INSANELY difficult. Remember that critter Admiral Highlander put on the cover of War Cry? He shoots SIX fireballs at you, and I have yet to face him and dodge all of them. He's not the worst, though. The ArchVile can raise the dead and do fifty points of damage to you, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN _TRY_ TO DODGE! Ha, ha, ha! Anyway, it's a good game, but I doubt I'll keep it.

It's not like doom where you can go anywhere on the screen, your stuck in really narrow hallways. It isn't much like x-com besides story. BTW: Anyone have x-com?

I have made it clear that there is a process for getting new folders opened in this club. One does not just start a new folder without prior permission. I also made it clear what questions had to be answered before another branch of the Guild would be formed and I will address those questions again in a later post. If no one comes forward, I will contact the AOL staff and have the new folder removed. Folders are NOT to be added without prior approval. CLEAR? ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Titanium Crosses Awarded Date: 94-10-08 20:57:49 EDT From: Highlan332 Listen up all you ground pounders and fly-boys! Two Warriors have earned themselves Titanium Crosses. Lieutenant Snake Eyes (DavidC8169) has been working hard to live up to the reputation of the Guild. He has served honorably in all of his assignments and has showed real leadership ability. Snake Eyes is currently working "fire support" on Antilles 3 but will be returning to the Beta Hydra Guild Hall soon. Be sure to buy him a drink at the Fly By Night club or wire him a few vouchers if ya' can't make it in person. Flight Leader Wedge has also blasted his way into getting a Titanium Cross. In the seven months that Wedge has been with the Guild, he has been a steady pilot to have by your side. Wedge is currently serving as Exec aboard the carrier TCS Fury. If you're in the quadrant, fly over and give 'im a pat on the back. He can show you around the ship and you can treat him to a cold one at the Razorback Pub. Congratulations Snake Eyes and Wedge! <--Highlander--> There can be only one... Subj: Promotions Date: 94-10-08 20:58:15 EDT From: Highlan332 I have the privilege of promoting two members this time. Skylord (Skylord9) has advanced to Midshipman and Snake Eyes (DavidC8169) has been promoted to Flight Leader. Both of these members have been doing their best to strengthen the Guild. Each has contributed much more than the minimums and are setting good examples for all to follow! Good job men. ½½½+++Highlander++++++ Subj: Funeral Scene on T-Shirt? Date: 94-10-08 20:58:37 EDT From: Highlan332 Skylord has suggested adding a Wing Commander 2 funeral scene graphic to the t-shirt in remembrance of Viper. I'm reluctant to do that. As I mentioned in a post a couple of weeks ago, Viper's death was never confirmed. We can't just assume someone was killed just because they no longer have an AOL account. Viper may indeed be gone but the fact is, Candicelam's story didn't pan out. So, until proven otherwise, all we know is that Viper is no longer on AOL. ...-=Highlander=-... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subj: Guild Branches Date: 94-10-08 20:59:04 EDT From: Highlan332 There has been a fair amount of talk concerning opening new branches. People seem to like the idea but only discuss it in general terms. Things don't get accomplished by generalizing. As I stated in my initial post concerning this, here are the questions that have to be answered, in detail, before a branch will be considered: 1) What is the proposed name of the branch? 2) What is the fictional background of the branch and how does it tie in with the Warriors guild. (members of the Stellar Guard, for example, serve as personal bodyguards to the Admiralty and as honor guards at official Guild functions)? 3) What would be the real life activities of the branch? 4) What would requirements for entry into the branch be? What would be the ongoing requirements? 5) If you want to lead the branch, discuss your qualifications as they relate to the Guild (ie. I have always been on-time with posts, I have uploaded ten files, I contributed to the t-shirt, etc.) 6) How would your branch add to the club in a positive and unique manner? 7) Miscellaneous- anything else you feel is important. Questions #3 and #6 are the most important. I'll tell you up front, the chances are slim that I will start a Wing Commander branch or a Doom branch, etc. What is the point of starting a branch around a specific game? ALL games are already discussed in the main folder. Starting a branch devoted to a specific game would just draw posts away from the main folder. The only way I'll consider new branches is if they are unique and add something different to the club. I'm open minded, though. Interesting, well written proposals are much more likely to be approved. ---]==Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Re: Lunicus Date: 94-10-08 20:59:25 EDT From: Highlan332 Codyman, I don't own Lunicus, so I'd certainly like to hear more about it.

Subj: <<< READ THIS!! >>> Date: 94-10-08 21:00:13 EDT From: Highlan332 Sorry for the silly title, but I know you all don't always read every message I post and I feel this is important. I want to address the issue of quality over quantity. We now have our own board and I'm proud of you all for filling up our folders with posts. The problem I see is that, in general, the quality of our posts are slipping. When I founded the Guild, our folder was filled with more substantial posts. We still get them but they are fewer and farther between. Brief comments, back and forth between you are OK but where are all the in-depth reviews, commentaries, hints, tips, etc.? Folks, there are a lot of folders online that are filled with messages by people chatting back and forth. What makes a folder interesting to read, though, is SUBSTANTIAL INFORMATION. When YOU read through this folder, what do you enjoy? Don't you like to read detailed reports over what a member thought of a game and why? What about detailed tips for beating a tough mission? How about new games on the horizon? What new hardware is available or in development? All of this material and more is available in the many, many game magazines, FAQ's, and zines out there. If you enjoy reading some of the things I have mentioned, then take the time to write some yourself. If every one of you would write an interesting, detailed post, such as I have given examples of, this folder would be lively indeed. Think about it. Is it really that hard to share something really interesting? Let's try to get more meaty messages pouring into this area. One last thing, files have been scarce lately. Remember, uploading files is an easy way to get points. Start looking on your local bulletin boards, the internet, and other commercial services. There are a lot of sci-fi game files out there! ½½½+++Highlander++++++ Subj: WGPOSTS4.EXE Available Date: 94-10-08 21:00:33 EDT From: Highlan332 I uploaded "WGPOSTS4.EXE" today, so it should be available soon.

Eventually, you may need to take a look at an older post. For new members, this is an easy way to read back through the Guild posts and catch up on what you have missed. ...-=Highlander=-... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subj: Star Wars Doom Patch and Others.

Also, if someone could tell me the exact date you received Guild Gossip, that would be great. I've also set up an account on Compuserve and have been looking for some files there, I haven't been on too long, but it looks like the selection is great. AOL beats Compuserve easily though! Oh, would any of you be interested in a Doom patch that makes most of the monsters look like Star Wars enemies? It also includes a new weapon- the Lightsaber!

I've looked over reviews for this game and a lot of them vary. Some posts hail it as the next TIE and others say that it's good but not good enough. Is there any difference between the cd and hard disk versions (other than saving space on hard disk and cost, which I know)? Yes, I have X-COm and this game is one of the most complex ones that I've played. In my opinion, only TIE is better. As Codyman says, in the game you try to destroy UFOs that are trying to take over the game by developing technology (what a wide variety! You get so many different kinds of weapons and armor like flying suits, heavy plasma, plasma cannon,etc.) I'm a little surprised that this game hasn't been discussed so much in the guild, as we usually describe new and good sims a lot. In short, this game is a great blend of strategy and combat! -Midshipman Skylord Subj: Babylon 5/Funeral Scene Date: 94-10-10 20:28:20 EDT From: Skylord9 Yes, I like Babylon 5. I watch the show and read some of the books. Frfom what I know about it, it seems like a pretty cool idea...I wonder if some company will make a sim out of it... I did read Highlander's post but since no more were made, I assumed that Candicelam had been confirmed. I guess that I was wrong... -Midshipman Skylord (sorry) Subj: Titanium Cross. :-) Date: 94-10-10 21:44:38 EDT From: BenF210 Thnx Grand Admiral! And Congrats to all those who got promotions and to fellow Flight Leader Snake Eyes. I am currently being odered by the Emperor to Test a new fighter (T/D) in the hard area of space. MIssion and next 2 installments of Wedge Journals by the end of the week. Flight Leader Wedge \ \ _ Master of X-Wing \ \ _| |_ and Tie Fighter \ \ |_ _| |_| Subj: Responses to posts Date: 94-10-10 23:23:28 EDT From: DavidC8169 First, thank you for the promotion and the Titanium Cross, Grand Admiral. >>Snake Eyes is currently working "fire support" on Antilles 3 but will be returning to the Beta Hydra Guild Hall soon.<< Antilles 3 was difficult, but it was nothing a Guild member couldn't handle. After I was finished there, I was learning more about the weapons you ground-pounders use (My Reserve Unit sent me to qualify with an M-60 machine gun over the weekend) Also, welcome to new member Blue Leader. Mechwarrior 2 I posted a message about this before that listed two rumors for the delay. Also, I heard that FASA has pulled the contract with Activision and once they finish MechWarrior II, FASA will develop further programs in house. Doom II This is not a shareware program, it is being released comercially in stores. It is like Wolfenstien 3-D's Spear of Destiny; no episodes, but thirty-something levels to fight through. Flight Leader Snake Eyes Subj: WHAT'S NEXT? Date: 94-10-10 23:39:44 EDT From: MUSHER MAN What's next? Possibly X-Wing 2 will be coimng out in the next year and a half or maybe not all what would follow? The heir to the Emipre Series, Jedi Academy? One thing will the Empire finally fall or will the Alliance be defeated for the last time. Subj: Want to join..... Date: 94-10-11 14:57:15 EDT From: BladeRacr I heard about your club from some people on Prodigy. I play X-Com and X-Wing. Are there ranks and divisions?? Please write and let me know. BladeRacr Subj: Babylon 5 Date: 94-10-11 15:48:02 EDT From: RolandSk Skylord, there are books on Babylon 5? I went to Barnes and Nobles and they didn't have any? Well anyway, just image what kind of sim Babylon 5 could be? If you didn't already there is a pretty big library of Babylon 5 gif's and wav's in the File Search. Sir Wells Subj: Re:Babylon 5 Date: 94-10-11 15:55:02 EDT From: Skylord9 There are only a couple of books, but not very many. Hopefully, that will change? Subj: Re:Babylon 5 Date: 94-10-11 20:17:59 EDT From: Spacer123 I had no idea there were any books. How many are there? Subj: X-Wing add on Date: 94-10-11 21:04:46 EDT From: Kipawa How do I make a back up for a TOD in X-Wing (for AOL add on)? Subj: Illegit Folders Date: 94-10-11 22:48:25 EDT From: Jedi 007 What's up with this!! So, far, there are three illegitmate folders!! Three should be only two folders, total! What gives? I sure do hope that no Warrior's Guild member is creating these... Subj: Re: Illegit Folders Date: 94-10-12 16:42:48 EDT From: Skylord9 What IS with all of these illegit folders? Does anyone have any idea who's creating them. Also, does anyone have any idea on new folders? How about a special ops division?(I know that's not very well written, but that's about the only idea for some non-specific game thing that I can think about). Any ideas? Subj: Re:WHAT'S NEXT? Date: 94-10-12 16:45:51 EDT From: Skylord9 In most sims, the good guys always win. So I guess that the Empire will fall in the end. -Midshipman Skylord Subj: Lunicus and (of coarse)Doom2 Date: 94-10-13 19:13:39 EDT From: Codyman OK I'll try to get some screen shots and write a review for Lunicus..........................On the other side of computer gaming, i got doom 2 today. It's pretty cool, but with only one new weapon(of which i cherish and prize greatly in those hallways with way to many soldiers) it's really most of the same. A couple new monsters(one looks like a cross between a football player and a skeleton) and new levels make it a little more interesting, but is it just me or do the levels seem a little shorter? They could have a least changed the cheat codes to make things a little more interesting. Subj: Doom II. Ha, ha! Date: 94-10-14 17:58:51 EDT From: B Blaze I just got it today! Magnfcent7 was right--it's HARD! But still a good game. Anybody who liked the first one would probably like this one. Happy Dooming! -B.B. Subj: Re:Illegit Folders Date: 94-10-14 19:53:46 EDT From: Spacer123 Who ever started the folders is in deep :CENSORED: But it whould be kind of cool to have a folder for each great game wouldn't it? I mean, most of our conversations are starting to be limited to TIE and Doom 2. Now that we got our own Topic area, and aren't in the orginizations area, I say we take advantage of it. Subj: TIE FIGHTER Date: 94-10-14 21:36:45 EDT From: MATEO 15 AAAHHHHHHHH does anyone know what the add on will be like? [-(..)-] <----- tie fighter Cheif Dark Jedi Subj: Re:TIE FIGHTER Date: 94-10-14 23:43:00 EDT From: Jedi 007 Mateo- Check the new issue of Guild Gossip for some TIE Fighter Add On info. The new issue should be out soon... I'm shooting for Sunday. Subj: Doom 2 Date: 94-10-15 02:01:52 EDT From: Samurai 1 Hmmm doom 2? I have played better wad files than the new doom levels and the new monsters and wepons are moderatly ok, but overall I am disapointed in the new ver. of doom and expected much more than was promised. Infact some of the doom wanna bees beat doom at its own game like cyclones, System shock, and Corridor 7. seems to me ID soft is laxing in the doom area. Oh, does any one know if the wad editors for doom 1 work on doom 2? Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Doom II Date: 94-10-15 10:23:50 EDT From: AIC HOUSE Well I have been looking at all the post, tring to decide if DOOM II is worth the money. On other times when I needed help in deciding if I should get a game or not, the Guild gave me more info than any other place could. This time it seems like members ar'nt spending the time to get to the detailes. My question is then: Whats good about DOOM II? Whats bad about it? Thanks, °°°Senior Ensign House°°° still Live Long If You Dare. Subj: Trying to get fiction started Date: 94-10-15 10:31:42 EDT From: XWAce Well I said I'd continue my story for all of those fans I have out there! Anyway, now that I've satisfied my ego. down to business. I had been working on this chapter of my story (which is chapter * for those of you new to the Guild. See the WG post wrap-up Highlander does for the other seven) for quite some time. I had been fighting with how to make the story progress and where I wanted to go next. Waht I have posted is not as much a polished chapter as it is a plea for others to join in. Do you all realize that nothing has been posted in the Scribes branch for entire month of October except my post and one other! I realize writing stories is not easy, but we're not talking novel here. If we could get some good stories going (or going again!) that might go a long way towards those interesting posts the GA was talking about. Sorry to preach, but a warrior needs more than battles to take his mind off Troubled Dreams.... Lieutenant XWAce Subj: Re: Illegit Folders Date: 94-10-15 12:52:10 EDT From: BenF210 I sent in an app for an Officer's Club. I hope it could turn into a place where we could all have fun. Flight Leader Wedge Master of X-Wing and Tie Fighter Titanium Cross Subj: Got Armada! Date: 94-10-15 19:23:22 EDT From: Spear10 Like the title says, I GOT ARMADA! Ha Ha Ha! It's COOL and I'd advise all of you out there to buy this game. Move over X-Wing, sionara TIE Fighter, cause here comes Wing Armada! Ha Ha Ha! Oops, forgot to take my medication -gulp-. -Spear10- P.S: I'm not psycopathic, it was a joke. Ha Ha Ha Ha!-gulp- Subj: Id restored to glory Date: 94-10-16 00:53:49 EDT From: Magnfcent7 Gentlemen, Yes, Id Software dropped the ball on Doom II. Too hard, not enough new stuff, but GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH, you don't have to screw around looking for modem strings all over Hell and creation to get Deathmatch to work. My friend Kirk and I have been busy dusting each other for the past few days. Best Deathmatch levels are the Entryway, The Focus, Dead Simple, and Tricks and Traps. After about level nine, the levels just become too huge and complex for you to ever even SEE your opponent, much less kill him. Grand Admiral, sorry I haven't logged on in a while, but I've been having problems connecting. Anybody else been getting a slew of "Host has failed to respond" messages lately? Terminator "We're gonna spread your brains all over that fruit over there...." Subj: OK. I'm Mad. Date: 94-10-16 02:13:13 EDT From: Spacer123 You may have just seen a new Folder. GF.

Congrats to all the elders for the promotions and good luck. -Midshipman Skylord Subj: screen saver Date: 94-10-17 00:26:33 EDT From: DVader27 hello brothers, i don't have much time so i'll keep this relatively short. i recently bought the star wars entertainment screen savers. it is really cool. any star wars buff would totally love it. the character biographies are awsome, as well as the cantina scene. some of the modules won't work yet on my system, so i have to work out those bugs. more later.

Spacer123 Subj: Re:New Game Date: 94-10-17 19:34:43 EDT From: Spitzfaden Hey Cap'n, is Doom 2 any good? Have you seen any of the graphics, any new monsters at all ? Please let me know what's up. Till next time warriors, keep your backs to the wall, and continue to strive for the betterment of the Guild!!! Subj: Re:screen saver Date: 94-10-17 19:46:14 EDT From: Spitzfaden I had not heard about any Star Wars screen saver untill I checked the posts here and I am very interested in it. What all does it have in it though, is it really that great, is there anything to it other than a screen saver?? As I say I haven't heard much about it and am very interested. Until our paths cross again, may thy attacks be swift and succesful, and thy retreats be very few! Subj: doom2 Date: 94-10-17 20:30:27 EDT From: Codyman I found a wolfenstien-like level(actually two) in doom!!! I believe the entrance is somewhere in level 15......................but for those of you who don't want to do it the hard way...................................................................... ****Spoiler**************** Remember the code from doom1 IDCLEV? Enter it and type 31, or for the other level type 32..............I strongly suggest trying to get to these your self though........I mistakenly went to one when trying out old doom codes. When i typed the above code i hit some random numbers thinking it wouldn't work.....................whoops...............but cool. Subj: everything Date: 94-10-18 20:02:19 EDT From: Samurai 1 Greeting Fellow Members Ok first doom 2 is good in the graphics and modem area, but bad in the new stuf and the new weppons area. Congrats to the promotions for it shure looks like Highlander could use the help. That's all for now, but more still to come. Cheif Lone Wolf Subj: Doom Registration Date: 94-10-19 16:33:52 EDT From: Tim Rayner When you register the original Doom, do you get a box and instructions? Subj: Setting it straight Date: 94-10-19 21:16:45 EDT From: Magnfcent7 Brothers, Ok. Let's set the record straight on Doom II. New stuff- not enough. The double-barrel is wonderful, but there aren't really any new "fair" monsters. Way, way, WAY too hard. Even on I'm too young to die you can be barraged and obliterated very, very quickly. New levels- Some good, some bad. I really like the city levels (even though they're MONSTROUSLY hard) and Tricks and Traps, Level 8, one of the best D-match levels anywhere. Up for a game of guard the rocket launcher? Is it worth the $50? Hmmmm.............. If, like me, you couldn't get the first one to work over the modem, yes. If you're a Doom fanatic, yes. If not.... "Hello, I'd like to return this...." Terminator "Don't even blink..." Subj: Aliens TC Date: 94-10-19 21:20:55 EDT From: Magnfcent7 Doomers!! Aliens TC is available on AOL! For those of you who don't know what it is, someone took Doom and based it on the movie Aliens (sorry, Tarrker). The levels follow the movie exactly, and it has some extremely neat sound effects. There are new weapons (pulse rifle, grenade launcher, smartgun, and cargo loader). The new aliens are TOUGH. What with the low light levels everywhere, you just don't see them until they're right.... THERE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! Oh.... Sorry. The aliens even drop from the ceiling into the med lab at the beginning of one level. Exhilarating and TERRIFYING. Don't play it alone. It takes a whopping sixty-seven minutes to download, but it's worth it. Any other opinions? Terminator "Check those corners...." Subj: Council is Forming Date: 94-10-20 19:21:23 EDT From: Highlan332 Changes have been quick but the Council is forming up nicely. They will be handling most day to day activities from now on. I WILL still be reading posts and will still answer mail. I'm not out of the club, I'm just spending less time answering mail and keeping records. ---]==Lord Grand Admiral Highlander====> Subj: Folders Date: 94-10-20 20:03:36 EDT From: BenF210 I would like you to know i posted last Sunday but a glitch caused it to not be posted. I would like people to not make any new folders. Im working on getting two new ones passed by the Council. Also if anyone has a folder they would like to make send your request to me. Ill be gone for the next week and a half cause my mom is takin away the keyboard because of my bill. Ill see you then. Fleet Captain Wedge Subj: Changes in the Guild Date: 94-10-20 21:25:41 EDT From: SAnders438 Three cheers for the Lord Grand Admiral! I think that your plan to delegate the running of the Guild to others is an excellent idea. We have grown so large that the job that you were doing has become too large for one person. I hope that I can keep my hand active in the Guild. As an Emergency Physician, I know how busy Highlander is going to be. I have helped instruct the courses for paramedic training. This will be a great advancement for him in his real life and will take him away from the Guild for awhile. Let's all support him in his efforts to pursue his career. Senior Chief Skippy P.S. Highlander, let me know if you have questions about training. Maybe I can be of some assistance to you.

Chronicler Boran Subj: An oversight Date: 94-10-20 22:52:34 EDT From: Magnfcent7 BTW, folks, if you don't have the Doom II Survival Guide, don't waste your money. NO info on how to beat the game, strategy tips, etc. For your $6.98 you get- The name of all the weapons The name of all the enemies Maps of the levels And an invitation to spend a further pile of money on the Doom II Strategy Guide, written by John Romero himself.

I'd give almost anything to take control of a Star Destroyer and gun down one of those sickening Star Cruisers. A turn based Command HQ type game would make my day. Anybody else like this?

Chronicler, Boran Subj: Division of responsibility Date: 94-10-22 00:36:47 EDT From: XWAce I think it is a great idea to shift the responsibilities of the Guild around. I know how difficult it is for me to get on and post weekly with my job, and cannot imagine how busy Highlander must be. Weekly posts are tough enough not to add the record keeping and such. Lieutenant XWAce Subj: My new resp. Date: 94-10-22 00:48:05 EDT From: XWAce I am accepting the position of Recruiting Elder that has been offered to me by Lord Grand Admiral Highlander. I will do my best to keep the Guild growing and prospering. As always, it is you, the members, that make this the place to be. I can place recruiting information out there and try to stir interest, but ultimately, if people come to the Guild and see nothing they like, they won't stay. So even though the initial "foot in the door" is now up to me, you need to make them feel that this is a worthwhile place to spend their time. Lieutenant XWAce Subj: Doom Date: 94-10-23 11:39:06 EDT From: AIC HOUSE Hello All, I'm looking for the best way to play Doom over the modem at 14400 baud.

But I'm still glad I got it. BTW, thanks for the tip on the hint book, I was thinking of getting it.

Subj: Star Wars Book Review If Allowed Date: 94-10-24 01:22:50 EDT From: MUSHER MAN Champions of the Force Part 1 If I can even review this book it will be something. This book is the final of a 3 part series of the Jedi Academy. It continues a good tradition of the aftermath and progession of the Alliance after the Battle of Endor. In the final book Kyp attacks Imperial bases with the fabled Sun Crusher. On an attack on a Imperial Stormtrooper Training base he finds out that his brother trains there, but only after firing a Sun Crusher torepo into a nearby sun. He tries in vain to save his bro, but can't save him from the ensuing explosion. He then goes on a mad dash of Imperial destruction, before being reasoned by Han. More review later. If it is allowed!

I've struggled through 29 sickeningly, disgustingly, HORRIBLY hard levels (and if you ain't fought your way through level 24, The Chasm, just sit down), and I just don't know HOW you kill the last boss. I have even (gulp) cheated and gone into God mode and STILL been killed by something. Anyone know how to kill this thing? Terminator "..unintelligible gargling..." Subj: X-Com: Terror From The Deep Date: 94-10-25 13:11:53 EDT From: Tim Rayner According to MicroProse on-line, X-Com: Terror From The Deep will be released in April of '95!!! I assume it's a sequel since it's taking so long to do! Subj: X-Com info Date: 94-10-25 13:22:53 EDT From: Tim Rayner Here's the storyline for X-Com: UFO Defense for whoever asked. I pulled off the MicroProse product information folder. MicroProse Presents XCOM: UFO DEFENSE MicroProse has now releases "XCOM:UFO Defense" in the United States. XCOM:UFO Defense is a futuristic game of strategy and tactical combat in which the player defends the Earth from alien invasion. The game involves the player at two different levels: In-depth strategy as the player controls the operation of bases that he builds all over the World to cope with the alien threat and tense "seek and destroy" tactical play. Storyline: It is the year 1999. Sightings of alien craft have increased dramatically throughout the World. All attempts at peaceful communications have been met with hostility. Reports arrive daily of kidnappings, murder, terrorism,and killings of cattle and domestic animals. The nations of the world have decided that they must join forces to combat the alien threat. To this end, a special defense force named XCOM (eXtra-terrestrial COMbat) is set up with collective funding from all countries. You are the commander of XCOM. Game Features: * In-depth strategy involving scientific research, weapons production, resource allocation, and expansion through base construction. * Tense tactical gameplay with "Aliens" search-and-destroy feel. * Non-linear gameplay for extended play. * Popular "Manga" look and feel to graphics. * Numerous mission types: Intercept, Seek-and-destroy, Base defense, etc. * Differing terrain according to mission location: Snowscapes for Arctic locations, Cornfields for the midwest, Cityscapes, etc. XCOM: UFO Defense, from MicroProse, is now available for IBM compatible machines.

Date: 94-10-25 14:51:42 EDT From: FlintCop I recently downloaded the B-wing trainer from David Jury. I sent in my registration for the full version of the software and was unable to contact him. How do I go about getting the full version of the B-wing trainer for X-wing or am I "S.O.L." Got any ideas. Having lots of trouble with TOD 2 in xwing. Thanks Subj: X-COM or Outpost? Date: 94-10-25 18:55:43 EDT From: RolandSk I have been thinking of buying either one of these games. I saw X-COM at staples and was going to buy it by decided to hold of a little and I am glad I did, since there is a CD ROM version I will probably get that ovewr the disk version. What about Outpost? To me it looked like the best game but it is never mentioned. Is it worth getting? I am also thinking of upgrading to a double speed CD ROM mostly because I have heard that WC3 requires it. Is this true? Sir Wells Subj: Wing Commander III update Date: 94-10-25 20:54:21 EDT From: Spear10 I've noticed that nobody at all is interested in Wing Commander III and I'm taking the liberty of telling all you heathens on developments at Origin. I will also update you on anything at all on Privateer II( which, indeed, has been confinfermed and slated for release Christmas 95') I check the OSI folder everyday and I will send info I've found there to people who would want it, and I will submit ideas for Guild Gossip and War Cry. Current countdown is 28 days until the release of WCIII. So that's it for now. -Spear10- Subj: Re:X-COM or Outpost? Date: 94-10-25 21:58:09 EDT From: Spacer123 I do not have X-COM but am concidering getting it. Outpost Is Great! i have it, and it's great fun to play. Several people have called it "Simcity in space" which is true. It's great to watch your colony prosper. It's VERY despresing to watch your colony Fall and Die in agony. Look into it. Subj: games and uh... STUFF Date: 94-10-25 22:08:15 EDT From: Samurai 1 Well all I have to say is if you do not have x-com buy it and if you haven't bought doom2 don't do it! Ftp site on aol hmmm I will have to check that out! Meeting times? are we gonna have another meeting time? Oh and if anyone likes the magic the gathering game it is comming to the pc soon and one of the new boosters are gonna be cyber punk too! cool hu? armada played that and boy that is cool too! any one played ms space sim yet? well that is all the time for now gotta go to work! Later Chief Lone Wolf <<>> Subj: Wing Commander III Date: 94-10-26 12:55:30 EDT From: Tim Rayner Not everyone isn't excited about Wing Commander III. I check the folder every day as well, and I've ordered the Premiere Edition! It cost me $110! But, from the looks of it, it'll be worth it! Subj: WC3 and Privateer 2 Date: 94-10-26 15:30:49 EDT From: RolandSk Spear10, there are a lot of people still interested in the Wing Commander Series. I am going to pgrade to a double speed CD ROM just to get it. This is why I am trying to get the folder "Confederation Space" intact. Now that Armada is out and WC3 is just days away, this will mark the rebirth of the Wing Commander Universe." If you are for my proposed idea of a special Eing Commander folder please drop the elders a note because their votes are very close and maybe with a meber response it could shift the vote in the favor of the folder. Sir Wells Subj: WCIII Date: 94-10-26 15:58:18 EDT From: Spear10 I know that ther are people still interested in WCIII. I just wanted to find out who was, and I decided to make you mad. That way you surely would reply. Sir Wells, I'll drop the elders a post in favor of your Confederation Space folder. I also noticed that somebody had created a Wing Commander folder, but didn't ask for permission first. Sad, well see ya and 28 days of terror until light is brought to the dark world. -Spear10- Subj: WG list and new folders Date: 94-10-26 17:46:15 EDT From: BenF210 could someone send me a list of the WG members. I have a file to send out concerning the Guild Gossip. So far all new folders have been rejected . I feel if more people would send in requests we might get one passed. RolandSk's new folder was close, 2-3 last vote and 1-2 so far on this vote. I will not disclose who voted which way, but you should know how close it was. Fleet Captain Wedge Projects Elder Subj: Re:Wing Commander III update Date: 94-10-26 17:56:31 EDT From: Marauder67 Ok I have two things to say! One I would like to join this club, guild, whatever please. Also I would like to know everything about Wing Commander Three that wasnt in the Press release so what ever you can tell me would be great! Marauder also could I get a copy of the War Cry? Subj: Re:Wing Commander III update Date: 94-10-26 20:29:53 EDT From: Magnfcent7 The only reason I'm not interested in WC III is that Origin has, by making it unable to run on all but EXTREMELY high-end systems (I thought my 486/66 should be sufficient to handle anything), also caused me to make this chart. How much Pat cares about- Price of eggs in China-*** O.J.'s trial- Books about war-************************************** WC III- Personally, I hope WC III sells only three copies (Bill Gates, Ross Perot, and... somebody else) and that finally gets through Origin's head: MAKE GAMES THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THE GENERAL GAMING COMMUNITY. I'd like to play WC III, but I'm not going to abandon my old CD drive and spend $3-400 for a double-speed. I'm also not going to buy more memory. Or any other add-on for my computer. I'm the consumer. Pander to me. Or go out of business. You create worlds? Headaches and hand-wringing, more like it. But that's just me. Terminator "I hate to get off on a rant here..." Subj: X-com/Doom2 Date: 94-10-26 20:42:27 EDT From: Skylord9 BUY X-COM!!!!!! This game is the best sci-fi strategy/sim game that I've and most of the people who've plyed it have seen! In my opinion(just mine) X-Com beats Outpost (I've only played it a couple of times, but from what I've seen...) any day. X-Com is VERY detailed and complex and has so many different kinds of technologies that it makes my mind boggle. If you are going to buy it, there is basically no difference betwen the CD and regular versions, except that the cd save space on your hard disk(some people complain of game freezes with cd..is this true?). I also have a question...how do you beat level 11( 'O' of Death) in doom 2..(I'm trying not to cheat...although I did in Tricks and Traps. -Midshipman Skylord Subj: Re:Wing Commander III update Date: 94-10-26 22:53:32 EDT From: Spacer123 There is no way in hell I'm getting WCIII if it will not run on my 486DX2-66. I can't belive that Origin would be so stupid that they would make it for the Pentium, and not for regular run of the mill Pc's. I guess the game designers feel that every time a more advanced PC come's out, everyone has to buy it. BullSh*t. Senior Chief Spacer123 Master of TIE Subj: Re:Wing Commander III update Date: 94-10-27 01:23:49 EDT From: Magnfcent7 Spacer123, you're my kind of guy. Meet me in the tavern and I'll buy you a drink and we can curse Origin. Terminator "&*#@!" Subj: Icon Defeated Date: 94-10-27 02:00:59 EDT From: Magnfcent7 Well, folks, I finally beat that game. I've only done it once, on I'm too young to die, without cheating. Here's how. You have to shoot that big wall right in the middle of his brain with the ROCKET LAUNCHER. This is HARD to do. If your rocket explodes, you missed. If it just disappears and you hear a howl, you need about two more hits. Alternately, you can type IDCLIP (the Doom II incarnation of IDSPISPOPD), walk through the Icon, and kill John Romero's head. Either way, the ending sucks. Id, I hope Quake is better than this crap... Terminator "You must kill me, John Romero, to beat the game" "Yeah, but the ending sucks, and it's too hard. Make another." Subj: WC3 Date: 94-10-27 09:15:04 EDT From: Tim Rayner Wing Commander 3 will run just fine on a 486DX2/66!! In fact, Origin Marketing has said it will run on a 486SX/33!! If you have questions, e-mail OSI and ask about Wing 3's requirements! Subj: Xwing....

Subj: Re:A VERY vague clue to beating Date: 94-10-28 21:59:25 EDT From: Magnfcent7 Skylord, what you have to do to kill the Icon is fire three ROCKETS (only) _DIRECTLY_ into the Icon's brain. If you see the rocket explode, you missed. If it just disappears, and you hear a howl, good shot. Cheatwise, you can type IDCLIP, walk through the Icon, and take a chainsaw to Romero's head. BTW, the ending sucks. Love, Terminator "Death be not proud... but final." Subj: Re:WCIII DEMO OUT!!!!

Subj: Armada Date: 94-10-29 11:04:03 EDT From: Raul G3480 I have WC Armada and I must say that as an overall game is not so hot. If all you like from this games is the "move and shoot" then this game is for you. If you are looking for a strategy game this one has none; all it is is an excuse for more shhoting. What Origin did acomplish was a faster flight engine (and I mean fast) and kick ass graphics. Also the fact that you can shhot your best friends to pices and don't have to be near him to hear him whimper is great. The best part of it all is that you get a first hand trial at the battle scene that you will experience in WCIII Subj: Re:Icon Defeated Date: 94-10-29 13:08:47 EDT From: B Blaze Thank you, Magnfcent7, I was stuck on the part for days.

I recently acquired Privateer and Righteous Fire and am blasting away...I haven't made much progress, but I haven't given up hope! Almost a week ago I distributed Guild Gossip Issue 2. I've only received one reply from the survey...I'll need a wee bit more. Also, would you all be adverse to Guild Gossip being larger but having many more graphics? Right now it's a 7 minute download at 9600...I'm thinking of making it a 10 or 12 minute...any problems? Also, the Elders have their first Council Meeting tomorrow...just letting you all know. On another note, we seem to have a lack of files...I know as AOL grows they are becoming scarce, but now with FTP (Keyword: FTP) we should be able to find something. Until next time! Chronicler, Boran Subj: X-Wing and Wedge Date: 94-10-29 14:07:08 EDT From: MUSHER MAN Wedge - a forgotten hero If you have seen the Star Wars trilogy you could possibly remember that when Luke went into the Death Star trench he had two wingmen: Biggs and Wedge. Biggs was killed and Wedge had to pull out. Wedge survived the battle and was one of the lucky few survivors. In the Emipre Strikes Back, Wedge was in one of the landspeeders that attacked the AT-AT transports. He and his rear gunner killed one of the few AT-ATs. In Return of the Jedi Wedge flew as a wingman with Lando Calrissan and the Falcon. He and Lando were the only Alliance ships that were able to get into the power generator of the Death Star 2. He took out a section of the Generator. In the Heir to the Empire book trilogy Wedge served in a few space battles. In the Jedi Academy trilogy he was a General and had his own frigate. Wedge is one of the few minor characters to survive all the books and movies. I think he is the only minor character to survive all 3 movies. But I think some characters that were pre Star Wars were reintroduced in the Heir to the Empire series and Jedi Academy. Also, in some "homemade" TOD'S have Wedge as a pilot. Subj: Re:beat it! Date: 94-10-29 16:40:32 EDT From: Skylord9 Thanks for the hint Terminator, I finally beat the game. I agree, the ending does suck!

I think MST3K is the best TV can offer, and that one of the new 500 cable channels we've been promised better show all MST3K! Let's see here, MST3K is Mystery SCIENCE Theater 3000, which makes it Science Fiction, and since it's on TV, it's a simulation of real life.

The WCIII demo is out, though I can't seem to find it, but it is available in the form of the demo itself, the EA "Future is Now" CD sampler and in PC Gamer's December issue. If anyone wants info on Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger, ask and you shall receive. BTW, I might change my screename so be ready. Signed: -Spear10- Subj: WCIII Date: 94-11-01 15:39:02 EST From: RolandSk Spear10, I have no doubt that WCIII is going to be a revolutionary game but it isn't going to get too many sales and therefore won't be the best game around. Most people have a 486 based system. WCIII works on that but it is the bottom of the line. Most of us have no CD ROM's and most of us who do only have a single speed. WCIII requires a double speed CD ROM. WCIII also requires 8 meg's of ram and most of us on;y have 4. I think that not too many of us are going to be willing to fork out hundreds of dollars to upgrade just to play a 60 dollar game. I was really excited at first but these requiremtns are crazy. Maybe in the future when 486's are like 8086's and everyone has got there own 1086 (or whatever it will be called) then I'll get it for sure. I really was looking foward to this game and I hope Origin does make Privateer 2 the same way. Sir Wells Subj: Metal Tech and WC 3 Date: 94-11-01 16:05:16 EST From: Skylord9 A double speed CD-ROM? 8 megs? I have a doouble speed, but lack 8 megs. Maybe next year origin. Is Metal Tech really that good? What are the requirements? Most of Dynamix's games are at least decent(AOP). Can you e-mail me any info Flintcop?

I only wish that Q was in it. We are almost there on passing some new folders. I am pretty sure we can get the 4 votes on the first, and if not, the 3 on the second vote in the Council we had a meeting the other day and I will be sending out the log in a few days after i reveiw it. Subj: Messages Date: 94-11-02 19:13:12 EST From: BenF210 Not to be a hated member, but lets try to stay on Sims and related stuff. Its okay once in a while to start up a question on stuff like Star Trek or others, but leave MST3K out. It has nothing to do with the Guild even though it is Sci-Fi and Funny. Projects Elder Fleet Captain Wedge Subj: My First Try Date: 94-11-02 23:54:48 EST From: Sgt Talon All, I finally took a shot at it, I started a Warrior's Guild scribe story. If you have a chance, read both parts and post you comments. I love when people give me advice. Thanx. -=Sergeant Talon=- PS: Wedge, please get back to me on that project proposal. Subj: Doom Contest Date: 94-11-03 21:56:38 EST From: BenF210 Sgt Talon is going to be starting a new DOOM contest. Since I dont have the game, He willl head it up. I am giving full responsibility to him to advertise and conduct this contest. for the winner(s) and Sgt. Talon(since he will be running it) something will be awarded.

Cheif Dark Jedi MATEO 15 Subj: XMB 2.0 PROBS Date: 94-11-04 20:54:54 EST From: MUSHER MAN I have some questions. If you can help me with them it would be nice. How can you get a ship to hyperspace? How can you get a ship to show up as surviving in the debriefing without it hypering? Is it at all possible to having disable as a mission objective? Subj: SHIP EDITOR Date: 94-11-04 20:55:36 EST From: MUSHER MAN Can anyone recomend a ship editor? Subj: Re:XMB 2.0 PROBS Date: 94-11-04 21:57:17 EST From: Marauder67 Well to enter hyperspace you need to hit "H" lower or upper case, to get a ship to show up without hypering, well uhh you can't do that unless the ship is supposed to stay there just hang around till you get the mission complete message at the bottom of your screen. And disabling is the key to some missions. i hope this helps, if not oh well I tried my best. Marauder Subj: Re:SHIP EDITOR Date: 94-11-04 21:59:08 EST From: Marauder67 yeah but first I have to know what version of X-wing do you have i.e. X-wing, X-Wing:Imperial Pursuit, or X-Wing:B-Wing. but look in the files section in the Software connection part of the system Marauder Subj: Re:XMB 2.0 PROBS Date: 94-11-04 22:03:16 EST From: Marauder67 I just thought of something after I posted that answer the first time, you need to hit shift-R when you have the ship you want to have Hyper-out. And if it can it will. Marauder Subj: Wing Commander Date: 94-11-04 23:10:59 EST From: XWAce Yes, I am talking about Wing Commander, as in Wing Commader I. For those of you who have been around the Guild for a while, you are aware that my true loves are X-Wing and Tie. I have had WC and WCII sitting around for a while and am finally starting to get into them. The only sad thing is I suck! I can handle X-Wing and TIE but WC is too slow to respond and I end up getting blown away. Any suggestions on how I can improve my abilities. I have played this game for about thirty hours and cannot get bast mission 3. Yes I did say I suck. Please help! Fleet Captain XWAce Recruiting Elder Subj: But you're forgetting Delta-V! Date: 94-11-05 00:21:28 EST From: B Blaze Stargate, Generations, TIE, X-wing, Doom, what about Delta-V? Please, somebody review it! I need to know!

Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Re:ES Date: 94-11-05 11:12:12 EST From: FlintCop I agree Earth Siege is a great game. I have never played Mech Warrior on the PC, but I do have Battletech stuff for the Table. And Earth Siege is the closest thing to compare that I have seen out there. Hey Samuari 1 how far have you gotten in the game? I am up to Campaign 3 Mission 5. Flintcop Subj: Outpost Date: 94-11-05 14:06:32 EST From: RolandSk Today I got Outpost and it is the most complicated game I have ever played. Anyone have any suggestions on good ideas on playing. Help me out a little. I am dying here. Sir Wells Subj: Re:Outpost--Not that good Date: 94-11-05 14:59:39 EST From: Skylord9 The game is halfway decent, but I've never figured out what the point is. You basically mine and build until you run out of stuff to mine. After a couple days, I got sick of how boring it was and I returned the CD. I couldn't use half the things I researched, but if you play it long enough, you'll probably beat it. I reccomend Earth Siege, X-Com, TIE and Armada over this! -Ensign Skylord Subj: New folders Date: 94-11-05 15:12:34 EST From: BenF210 As youve probably noticed, we've got some things going on in the Guild. Sgt Talon is running a DOOm contest, and weve gotten two new folders. Here is how the foldrs will work. Scribes will still be for stories. The main folder will be for related material, promotions, and other misc. The Navy folder will be the place where anything about X-Wing and Wing Commander type games go. The Army folder will be where games like Doom and Mech Warrior are discussed. Place only GAME related material in the new folders. For instance, a hint on X-Wing would go in the Navy folder, but a review on a Star Wars book would go in the main. Reveiws on Games could go in either or both. Any questions contact me and i send a reply as quick as I can. Fleet Captain Wedge Master of X-Wing and Tie Fighter Subj: WCIII Update Date: 94-11-05 19:54:28 EST From: Spear10 It's only 16 days until Stardate 1994.324 (Nov. 21) The WCIII pr-release conference was on the 3rd and I'll be uploading a transcript soon. Also, some jerk named Daemonium or TypeO( he has two screen names) has been shooting his mouth off at Origin. If you meet him, give him heck, and don't believe a word from his dirty little mouth. -Spear10- Subj: Re:ES Date: 94-11-05 22:41:43 EST From: Samurai 1 only to Campaign 3 Mission 5 thanks for askin'.

I believe if you read Wedge's explanatory post, he said something about this. This folder will be for promotions, updates, etc. Also, use this folder for games that don't fit into either category, i.e. Outpost.

My friend works for EB and that's the biggest return since... Shoot, been so long since I've been in retail software. AMERICAN GLADIATORS... I know, I know.... Poor analogy. But seriously, the game SUCKS.... Every known electronic magazine (sides the ones from Sendai Publishing, they wouldn't know a good game if it bit em on the tare.) Has LAMBASTED Outpost for being less than the sum of it's supposed to have parts. The manual is terrible and Sierra expects you to buy the 'clue book', which in itself IS the manual. If you want a Sierra game, try Alien Legacy or for GOD'S SAKE, X-COM!!!! That game has kept me up countless nights saying "Just one more crash investigation." Suck Lazpistol, Sectoid boy!!!! And the most terrible thing to hear. CHRYSSALID IN THE CAMP!!!!! Shatter Elder X-Com NUT! Subj: Re:ES Date: 94-11-06 14:01:23 EST From: FlintCop Hey lets continue this in the Army folder. I just made through Campaign 4 today, I tried the cheat that ECravener suggested, didn't work. :( See ya in the new folder. FC Subj: Re:Outpost Date: 94-11-06 15:08:29 EST From: Spacer123 Honestly, I think Outpost could have been better, but I don't understand Why everyone is having problems with it. Do some research in physhics. Build some hot labs and then research Nanotechnology. When you learn about Nanotechnology, you can build to your heart's content. You'll never run out of resources. Also, pick a Mars type planet for your site. If it is still giving you problems, E-mail me and I'll send you the patch disk. P.S. Spear10, thanks for the WCIII updates. Do you know when a demo will be avalible? Subj: SHIP EDITOR HELP Date: 94-11-06 18:12:29 EST From: MUSHER MAN I have IMPERIAL PURSUIT AND B-WING. CAN ANYONE RECOMEND A SHIP EDITOR? Subj: Outpost / WC3 Date: 94-11-06 19:26:43 EST From: RolandSk As for Outpost, I think I am going to bring it back. It is way to confusing and from what everyone is saying, I think it isn't too good. As for WC3 now I am thinking of upgrading. I saw what it looks like in PC Gamer. A correction for WC3 is that 4 megs of ram will work but it won't be as good as 8. So for many of you a double CD ROM is all you'll need and when you see what this game looks like I'm sure you'll want it despretley. Sir Wells Subj: New folders, Why? Date: 94-11-06 19:35:08 EST From: AIC HOUSE I dont think I like this idea of Army and Navy folders. The reason for the scribs folder was so the person who didnt want to read them didnt have to scroll through them when looking for other things. People may be interested in the Guild itself but not the scribes, but I think you'll have a harde time finding someone that only likes Navy or Army sims. This just makes it more of a pain in the a$$ for someone to see whats going on. I think it would be better to have a folder for each sim before it would for just Navy and Army. (not that I want that) The new folders should be used to to make things easier for each specific person, not more a pain. Are we sure we didnt just start these because we could? This is just my thoughts on the matter. This is the first time I have disagreed with the way the Guild has been run since I joined in March. I would like to hear from all the others members on this as well. The Elders are doing the best they can, but they need to hear from us. So everyone need to make there thoughs known. This is our board, lets do our best to make it the best. °°°Lieutenant House°°° Subj: Re: New folders, Why? Date: 94-11-06 20:02:07 EST From: BenF210 The Elders put it to a vote and it was unanimous. We have already turned down three other folders so were not just doing it cause we can. I may be just talking for the elders, but we think its a pretty good idea. Why would it be creating a pain? Also, If we made a folder for EVERY SINGLE SCI-FI SIM, our growth would be nil. This way, we still have pretty good growth in ALL folders and still have room to expand, instead of expanding all at once without any new growth. When the time is right, we might grow into single game folders, but the WG isnt big enough yet. Fleet Captain Wedge Master of X-Wing and Tie Fighter Projects Elder Subj: scribes Date: 94-11-06 20:04:09 EST From: BenF210 actually, the scribes folder wasnt created for people who DIDNT want to read the stories, it was created for people who DID so they could look at the previous chapters more easily and so they could find stories more easily. Subj: Re:New folders? Date: 94-11-06 21:39:30 EST From: Magnfcent7 The more I think about it, the worse an idea these two new folders seem to be. I learned about X-Com from WG, and if we'd had this division of subjects, I never would have read about it. I just think that all the new folders will do will be to make us have to hit the mouse button more often. Why do we need to separate sims based on where they occur? Maybe it's just me, but I think it's sort of pointless. Terminator "Toby.... toby wong..."

How you cheat is you type exactly like this wc Origin and you will be able to target an enemy and then kill him by hitting Alt-Del at the same time. Or like I said use the Simulator in the bar to hone your skills. I had the same problem going from WC to X-Wing I thought the X-Wing flew funny.

Since I accepted the postition of Recruiting Elder about two weeks ago I have responded to over 25 inquiries! Many cited the fact that they have visited our folder many times and decided to join because of the quality of material they saw. It seems that other clubs just don't keep of the good work, they start strong and then fizzle. Not so with the Guild. Keep it up! Subj: Outpost Date: 94-11-07 22:51:14 EST From: XWAce I agree that the game is difficult, but what fun is a game that is easy. There is now a patch out that adds a lot of things, so you might want to download it. I believe it is in the Sierra folder.

We have the rights to produce Mechwarrior II : The Clans. Our contract with FASA requires us to make Mechwarrior II : The Clans by March 31st, 1995. There is no dispute going on with FASA or with KESMAI regarding any aspect of Mechwarrior II. There is also no dispute with Virtual Worlds. Hopefully this will dispel a few rumors anyways.

Subj: New Folder's Date: 94-11-11 13:39:19 EST From: SAnders438 I don't like the new folder's at all. I joined WG by seeing the posts and scanning them all. I, for one, don't like the idea of having to open another file to check for different sims. Let's just leave it all in one folder for the sims and one folder for the stories. Thanks, Senior Chief Skippy Subj: Re:New Folders Date: 94-11-11 15:56:29 EST From: Skylord9 I agree with Skippy. I joined the same way. I think that we should put all sim-talk in one folder. It doesn't offer any real advantage to split the main folder, it just adds extra mouse clicks. If we have new folders, they should have a specific cause like the Guild folder. I say that we add only folders that make it easier for the Guild to grow and succed. We should not add another folder just because we have our own board. Subj: Re:New Folders Date: 94-11-11 21:31:37 EST From: Magnfcent7 See? If (God forbid) you're signing on at 2400, having 2 new folders to open etc. can contribute significantly to your online time.

Subj: Re:New Folders Date: 94-11-12 17:21:58 EST From: Spacer123 I don't mind the new folders so much, It's nice to get away from always talking about TIE and DOOM. Subj: RE:new folders Date: 94-11-12 18:19:39 EST From: BenF210 okay we want to hear everyone's opinion on these so please share it with us. So far those who have posted have complained.except Skylord. It seems to me, more people hate having to click 2 more times than the actual folders. If this is the case whats the big deal. Also I sign on 2400 baud and the only thing it keeps me from doing is downloading some files. Subj: Re:RE:new folders Date: 94-11-12 20:51:58 EST From: FlyerJD1 I think two folders are fine. If you need help with or want to talk about Tie Fighter, then you all you have to do is go to the Navy folder. It seems to me that it would keep things more organized than throwing everything into one big pot! Jason De Booy Subj: WCIII Date: 94-11-13 10:42:37 EST From: XWAce I was wondering if anyone has any information on Wing Commander III. It sounds like some of you already have it although I thought it hasn't yet come out. Related to the new folders, where would this message go. If I placed it in the related Navy folder anyone without Navy games would not go there. Chances are I would get no response. Just a thought. Fleet Captain XWAce Subj: Re:RE:new folders Date: 94-11-13 12:34:54 EST From: AIC HOUSE WOW, I didn't mean to start a war. I am not arguing with anyone. The Elders were put in place to help the smooth running of the Guild. This issue of the new folders should be addressed quickly. It has been some time with no resolve. What ever the outcome we should all be satisifeid that our points were heard and considered, and remember the Elders are doing the best they can and we should support them not attack them. °°°Lieuentant House°°° Subj: Re:RE:new folders Date: 94-11-13 14:23:18 EST From: Skylord9 I was just stating my view. The new folders do have some advantages though. They do keep the main folder from getting cluttered up with TIE and doom. I didn't mean to start a conflict or anything, I was just stating my opinion. The new folders have both pros and cons, and we should consider everything before jumping to a conculsion that they are good or bad. The new folders do help make the Guild more organized and we should consider that as well. Let's try to support the elders on their decision.. Subj: Re: New Folders & RPG Date: 94-11-13 17:31:18 EST From: BenF210 No one is mad at you for stating your opinions. It's just that we do are best to please the guild and want EVERYONE to be heard. also, we know that everything has a good side and a downside. But for some reason, the human mind always looks at the bad side first. From now on we are bringing everything that passes in the Elders to the Guild for a vote. We are also thinking of starting some role-playing. We dont know how to do it, either as a D&D type thing only scifi sim scenarios, or something else. Please let us know what you think by posting or e-mail and well be working on it.It would most likely be twice a month or once a week on weekends Wedge Projects Elder Master of X-Wing and Tie Fighter Subj: Get rid of the New folders Date: 94-11-14 02:25:05 EST From: Spacer123 I think we should rid ourselfs of the new folders. Do Isn't it obvious that we have nothing to use our original folder for? We are still requiered to make our weekly posts in here and what should those posts be about? Not everyone owns strategy games, and I say we ditch the new folders. Subj: Re:Get rid of the New folders Date: 94-11-15 11:41:07 EST From: Tim Rayner I agree. It's easier just to go to two folders instead of four. It seems that the majority of the Guild agrees with that. Longshot "Who's motorcycle is this?" "It's a chopper baby." "Who's chopper is this?" "Zed's" "Who's Zed?" "Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead." Subj: New Folders Date: 94-11-15 15:15:24 EST From: RolandSk I think that the two folder idea is a lot simpler. The other idea would be to have a seperate board for each game but that would create other problems. Two folders was better. Lets have a vote to decide. Sir Wells Subj: Re:New Folders Date: 94-11-15 20:31:18 EST From: Magnfcent7 Okay, folks. I would say let's open a new folder if ONE particular game (TIE, D II) is taking up a lot of space in the main WG folder. Otherwise.... Terminator "And I will strike thee down, with great vengeance..." Subj: Armored fist Date: 94-11-15 20:32:39 EST From: Magnfcent7 What is this nonsense? Who opened this folder? What does it all mean? Elders, what's going on? Armored fist? Terminator "What?" Subj: Re: Voting Date: 94-11-16 11:20:52 EST From: Tim Rayner I agree we vote on keeping these folders or not. It seems not enough people like them. Longshot "..and furious anger on those who atempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!" Subj: Finally, and Some Jiberish Date: 94-11-16 13:48:13 EST From: Sgt Talon All, I finallt got off my butt and got a CD-ROM drive. Of course, 230ms was as fast as I could find; double spin. No games came with it, so I was dissapointed. At any rate, what I am trying to get at is that I FINALLY got Wing Commander I and Wing Commander II Deluxe, w/Speech. I have already beaten WCI on my SNES and I have also beaten Secret Missions I on my SNES. I can't wait to get more into WCII and the Special Operations. Thanx. -=Sergeant Talon=- Subj: Promotions Date: 94-11-17 00:28:57 EST From: DavidC8169 Attention to orders!

Origin has told us (Babbage's, my place of employment) that Wing Commander III is now scheduled for release in the first week of December Fleet Captain Snake Eyes Elder of Honors Subj: Re:Wing Commander III Update Date: 94-11-17 09:04:26 EST From: Tim Rayner Actually, the release date is December 9. Personally, I'm surprised as to how close they kept the release date to the original one. And, in an odd twist of irony, people over at the Origin marketing board are actually asking them to push the game back farther!! Longshot "That's a bold statement" Subj: ZIP All Submissions Date: 94-11-17 15:57:51 EST From: Jedi 007 Potential Guild Gossip Submitors- From now on, please ZIP all submissions to Guild Gossip. Three minutes may not seem like a lot of time, but I need to conserve as much on-line time as possible. Also, include about one or two graphics, as I can't use more than that for any single article. Boran Subj: Modem Support for ES? Date: 94-11-17 19:25:11 EST From: FlyerJD1 I was just wondering, is there going to be modem support for Earth Siege? It is a great game, and going head to head, or as part of a team against those damn Cybrids would be intense!! Any info would be great!! Jason De Booy Subj: TIE Campaign Disk Date: 94-11-17 20:42:42 EST From: Magnfcent7 I just got my new Lucasarts journal, and it has some info on the TIE Campaign disk, Defender of the Empire. Apparently, Defender deals with your attempts to defeat Admiral Zaarin, all the while fending off pirates and rebels. It has eighteen missions, and introduces a new TIE. Now why can't they just release more and more and more and more.... Terminator "I don't like alarms, Mr. White."

Origin, thanks for being reasonably close to your shipping date...BTW, does WC 3 take up four or eight megs of RAM?.7-1.2 gigs...pretty good game. Subj: Re:Get rid of the New folders Date: 94-11-17 22:43:53 EST From: B Blaze I'd have to agree with most of the people here. Too many folders take up too much time to look through. It's alright to have the Scribes folder and the general folder because if you don't want to read the stories, you don't have to. But having one for army and one for navy is too general. You'd have to read through both folders to get the info you wanted. -B.B. Subj: Re:Get rid of the New folders Date: 94-11-18 00:44:27 EST From: DavidC8169 >> But having one for army and one for navy is too general. You'd have to read through both folders to get the info you wanted. << You only have to read through both folders if you want to. The Army folder is for games like MechWarrior & MechWarrior II (if it comes out), Earth Siege, and Doom & Doom II. The Navy folder is for games like X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and the Wing Commander series. If the game (X-COM, Alien Legacy, etc.) doesn't fit either folder then it goes into the general folder. Snake Eyes Subj: Re:Get rid of the New folders Date: 94-11-18 01:46:29 EST From: Magnfcent7 >You only have to read through both folders if you want to. But, if you're like 99.99999% of us, and enjoy both flight and ground sims, the two new folders contribute to a lot of needless button pushing. And will somebody tell me what the deal is with this Armored Fist thing? Who started this folder, and what does it mean? This is really starting to bug me, folks. Terminator "This is what he did.... BLAM..... BLAM..... BLAM!" Subj: Re:Get rid of the New folders Date: 94-11-18 14:39:23 EST From: Codyman I think we should get rid of the new foldews also. Subj: WC3 and Upgrading Date: 94-11-18 15:37:36 EST From: RolandSk As you may know WC3 is coming out soon and I did what I told myself not to do. I upgraded my system majorly because from reading PC Gamer's article there was no other way to keep myself satisifed (for the time being). So I bought a double-speed (triple speed was way too much) and 4 megs of RAM. I bought one of those Sound Blaster Kits. So the game will be here, I hope. I also orderd the premere edition of WC3 for Electronic Arts. It is going to be shipped to me on the 25th. It also comes with a lot more stuff like a book, shirt, calander, different packagings and other stuff. I will let you all know how it is, because if it is as good as I think, you all may change your ming on upgrading, because I did. Sir Wells Senior Lieutenant Subj: Re:WC3 and Upgrading Date: 94-11-18 17:53:04 EST From: Marauder67 I heard that WC3 will need 8 megs of RAM plus to run is SVGA you need a pentium 586 and to run VGA you need at least a High end 486. Chief Marauder Subj: Role-Playing Date: 94-11-18 19:55:57 EST From: AIC HOUSE Role-Playing sounds good to me. Let us know what you come up with. I don't like to get to serious about, but just some for fun sounds great. Filght Leader House Live long if you dare... Subj: RE:Re:New Folders Date: 94-11-18 20:00:29 EST From: AIC HOUSE I think the idea of only opening a new folder if one subject is taking up alot of room on the main board. That seems to make the most people happy. I'm not sure if everyone has made a comment, but from what I see, that would help. Filght Leader House Subj: Re:Modem Support for ES? Date: 94-11-19 00:21:06 EST From: Samurai 1 As far as I know modem suport should be out as a patch file later on. fill out that card!!! Chief Lone Wolf Subj: Role playing? Date: 94-11-19 00:23:07 EST From: Samurai 1 Like how? Subj: Re:Role playing? Date: 94-11-19 00:44:35 EST From: Jedi 007 We (the Elders) are still working on this. We're taking our time so it will come out fully baked, not half. So far though, it looks like it is going to be something similar to the Red Dragon Inn on-line, i.e. free form. BoraN! Subj: Role playing? Date: 94-11-19 07:42:28 EST From: RolandSk I don't understand about the Red Dragon Inn, what is done with this kind of RP online. I do go onto a BBS where we have RP Text games. Sir Wells Subj: Re:Role playing? Date: 94-11-19 10:42:22 EST From: Jedi 007 This was taken from the FFGF (use keyword RDI): >> Consider Free Form Role play to be similar to Improvisal Acting. The FFG provides the setting and you provide the character. Your character development can be a detailed as you are comfortable with and your character can grow and change with time and experience. The Red Dragon Inn is an On-line interactive chat room found in the People connection. The RDIs are room hosts, but they are also required to run the room in character. Just as players get to determine their character's personality, the RDIs are given that same freedom. It is assumed that all action taking place with in the Red Dragon Inn is "In-Character" and as consequence part of the free form play encouraged by the FFG. The traditional method of interjecting 'Out of Character' comments is to enclose them in ( ) type brackets or for more private chat, Instant Messages are used.<< What we would have would be something similar, completely in character, etc. But, I say again, we are still ironing out the details. Boran Subj: WG Wish List Date: 94-11-19 11:33:36 EST From: Jedi 007 Warrior's!! Since the fourth issue of Guild Gossip will be distributed at the start of December, I would like to include a "Dream List" in it. A list of sci-fi sims related stuff that we all want, but can not possibly afford (or technology isn't up to the challenge). One example I've thought of is a machine that can _actually run_ Wing Commander III!! The suggestions can be humorous, so don't hold back. Either mail them to me or post them here. Boran! Subj: GENERATIONS KICKS! Date: 94-11-19 18:35:18 EST From: Spear10 I saw Generations last night, and it is AWESOME! The special effects were the first to get my attention, ILM is getting good! I won't tell you much about the story, it would spoil your fun, but I will tell you the story is good. Malcolm McDowell is excellent! Data litteraly stole the show, with his mixed up emotions thanks to the implant of Lore's emotional chip. The only dissapointing thing is that theres not much Kirk in the movie. He dies in the first 15 minutes, and die again in the last 15 minutes! But theres only a good half hour of him, it's mostly Picard. Oh ya, it was hillarious! I, personally like the following scenes. If you don't want to know about these, stop reading now! **** SPOILER**** A Klingon Bird-of-Prey, a D12 type has developed a certain energy weapon, so that if the find out the frequency of the shields, they can penetrate them with there weapons. The beat the Enterprise up pretty bad, but Data emitted an ionic pulse, causing the ship to start to cloak. When it started cloaking, the shields went down, and the Enterprise blew it away. The impacts of the torpedoes then caused the an eminent core breach. The secondary hull was evacuated, and the saucer section seperated the stardrive. The shock wave from the breach sent the saucer section into a planet, and there was an extrodinary 5 minute scene showing the saucer barrel into the planets surface. Subj: WC3 is almost here! Date: 94-11-19 18:36:29 EST From: Spear10 Two days! Two days! That's all! -Spear10- Subj: Doom II not bad!

Subj: Doom Trooper\Hell Date: 94-11-19 20:20:10 EST From: Samurai 1 Hey all you magic dudes! Doom trooper is the next new card based game to come out. What is doom trooper? DT is a techno-fantasy type game in which you are a general who commands a bravo of soldiers, that is all I have for now oh the cards are set up like this...337 first cards and that is the first boosters and starter deck and another booster pack comming out the next month after. the cards can get more powerful after using them like in raids, missions, and fighting. HELLLLLLLLL staring dinnis hopper, and grace jones! a cyber punk fantasy! much like WC3. OH and about that role playing thing........ are we gonna get are own room? Later!!! Chief Lone Wolf Street Samurai 1 " The shadows are your best friend" Subj: Generations! 3 thumbs up!! Date: 94-11-19 20:58:35 EST From: BenF210 Projects Elder Wedge gives it 3 thumbs up! :) I saw it Friday night and its gonna get special effects awards unanimously. Data steals the show w/ his implant and there is a ton of explosions. There's only one cuss word in it(like it or not)and thats from Data(i wont tell you when until another spoiler at the bottom)I dont mind Kirk not being in it as much, I like Picard better anyway. SPOILERS BELOW SPOILERS: The saucer section crashes on the planet and then a shock wave rips it apart and picard goes to the Nexus, a place of happiness. But then he realizes its fake, joins w/ Kirk and fight w/ the bad guy to change it so the saucer section lives and the sun doesnt blow. Things to look for in the next movie: Enterprise 1701-E(thats right, E) Data w/ his emotion chip and borg or Q(hopefully) Subj: gone Date: 94-11-19 20:59:20 EST From: BenF210 ill be gone till next sun. the 27 or somethin like that, see ya then Subj: Armored Fist Date: 94-11-20 00:07:41 EST From: XWAce I will talk to the rest of the Elder's about the Armored Fist folder.

Subj: Bethesda's Delta-V Date: 94-11-24 00:01:03 EST From: B Blaze Just got this one today. Which brings my total up to 6 (not counting the X-Wing add-ons). It's pretty good. Faster than Tie Fighter. The plot is closely related to Shadowrun and Tek War. Basically, you fly around other corporate virtual matrices recording information, destroying ICE and other targets. But unlike TIE Fighter, you can customize your own ship. Weapons include lasers, torpedoes, tachyon cannons, gamma beams, and some others. Of course there's the RAM Scoop, D-Rez shield, and EnerGen also. Plus the different armor and engine types. Well, I like it. -B.B.

Date: 94-11-25 01:10:17 EST From: S Hendrick Ok I know that I havn't posted in ages, I'm sorry..... But it looks like I returned to a little controversy. This adding folders thing seems out of control... I propose that instead of complaining and argueing over their existance we put a "test" on them. If they do not get a certain response in a certain time, then we ditch them. The guild is here for every member, and each member has different intrests. If a member doesn't like the folder...don't use it. -I do like the idea of the chat room for role playing, keep working on it. -Also, can we try to establish a set time for meetings? It's just a suggestion, not a demand. I hope that we can get back to business and stop argueing. MIxer <|> Subj: Re:Wing Commander Armada Date: 94-11-25 01:15:09 EST From: S Hendrick I have done alot of on-line games with Armada. If you have a 14,400 then your sitting pretty. The modem play is easy. The only problem is that the person your playing must have the same baud rate or the lowest wins. In other words, if you have a 14,400 and the person you are going to play has a 2400, then the game is played at 2400. I have actually played at 2400, and the game is still good. The only problem I had was tha occasional choppy movement, but nothing major. I recommend it. I got the CD version which saves about 21 megs of space on the old hard drive. If you any other questins just e-mail me. Mixer <|> Subj: Re:Wing Commander Date: 94-11-25 13:01:55 EST From: SAnders438 I am quite proficient at Privateer, so call me if you have any questions. I also have Righteous Fire, well worth the bucks. I have WC 1, and would recommend starting that way. Then go to the Secret Missions 1 & 2, the WC 2, etc. The story carries through all the way so it seems more fun to follow the story line through. Good Hunting! Senior Chief Skippy (SAnders438) Subj: Outpost Date: 94-11-25 13:08:06 EST From: SAnders438 After much debate, I bought Outpost, instead of another combat sim. I was getting alittle tired of blowing everything up. I reviewed all the posts that everyone posted about it. If you play the tutor game, on the beginner level first, you get the hang of the game. It is hard to play on the higher levels but if you play consistently and pay attention to detail, it is alot of fun! My first attempt is now terraforming, I want to see what it looks like when it is done terraforming! My second attempt, on easy level, is still growing, but I keep running out of vital resources. If there are any other Outpost WG players out there let me know! Happy Thanksgiving (one day late) Senior Chief Skippy Subj: Re:Outpost Date: 94-11-25 17:58:20 EST From: XWAce I have Outpost as well although I have not devoted anytime to it for a long while.

The Elders are still trying to determine what to do with the Navt Army folders and when we have to spend time getting rid of additional folders it just adds to the pressure. We realize that many of you are upset that a response has not come back yet from the Elders, but we are working on a lot of things. Cleaning up unauthorized folders should not be one of them.

Sir Wells Subj: CD-ROM Date: 94-11-29 23:52:12 EST From: B Blaze A lot of people have been talking about X-Com, Outpost, and other CD games. Besides these, I've seen some other CD's that I could use. (Not just for fun.) But is it worth it to get a CD-ROM drive? Answers might include: cost, any problems you've had, and if it's "useful." (A modem wouldn't be useful if you bought it for $10,000 and used it once before it broke down.) -B.B.

Subj: Back/x-wing cd-rom/gg Date: 94-12-02 15:51:20 EST From: Skylord9 I'm back in the guild from my absence (due to a vacatioN over thanksgiving). I've noticed a lot of talk about release dates(which are hardly ever met, although wc3 isn't so bad. Does anyone have any info on x-wing cd-rom, does it have full speech and is it worth getting(is it basically the same as x-wing)? I hear that GG issue four is coming out and I am looking forward to it. BTW, does it have .avi, like the last issue said? Subj: Babylon 5 Info Date: 94-12-02 15:55:59 EST From: RolandSk In the Sci-Fi Club in the Babylon 5 section I have heard rumors that Electronic Arts is coming out with both a disk and CD ROM version, so all of those people who were dreaming about this, your dreams have come true. Also Comptons is coming out with an encylopedia on B5 as well. T-shirts, hats, DC Comic, and many more things are being used for B5. Sir Wells Subj: Re:promotions/cd-rom? Date: 94-12-02 15:57:39 EST From: Skylord9 Whitehawk, Snake Eyes is the elder in charge of promotions(davidc8169). BTW, I'll try to make your chat session tomorrow. Oh, a cd-rom drive is definetily worth getting. Do you remember back when games said "five and a quarter or three and a half disk drives"? Now they say "3 and a 1/2 or CD-ROM" I have a double speed cd-rom(I can't afford a triple or quad) and it has given me very little problems. A CD-ROM is definetily worth getting, all the new games like wc3 are taking advantage of it's technology. Subj: Re:Back/x-wing cd-rom/gg Date: 94-12-02 17:00:01 EST From: Jedi 007 There is a rundown of the X-Wing CD in GG4 and yes, it does have an .AVI.

Guild Gossip, the club's newsletter, will be going out on the tenth, watch for it! Chronicler Elder BoraN Subj: X-Wing CD-ROM Date: 94-12-03 22:51:22 EST From: XWAce I have the CD-ROM, not the Gold Edition one, but the regular. There is speech for all the briefings. The sounds are a lot more realistic and the new polygon engine makes the game more enjoyable. There are also six new historical combat missions. The CD also has new missions for about 15 other TOD missions. These are missions that users told LucasArts were too hard in the original. You can choose the play the New, easier missions or the Classic ones from the original game. I have gone through the original X-Wing many times and I think the CD is the best thing out!

Scott Cover Homicide Covaro Subj: Re:X-Wing CD-ROM Date: 94-12-04 15:35:35 EST From: Spacer123 I don't know if It's worth it to buy the new X-Wing CD-ROM. I'm already gone through the game a lot like yourself, but I don't want to start over again. Is there any way to transfer your pilot form the X-Wing on your hard disk to the CD-ROM? Midshipman Spacer123 Subj: Doom Movie Date: 94-12-04 17:56:38 EST From: Codyman I read somewhere that there may be a doom movie........................I think that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I forget where I read it, but I remember them making fun of it by saying that you could probably count on a certain actor who has already been in a mars movie to play the role (Total Recall) I think with that hint we all know who it is. Subj: Elders Update Date: 94-12-04 20:09:08 EST From: BenF210 We are currently holding a vote. We will probably put the Folders to a vote in the whole Guild. Also we will be voting on our top choices for Role-Playing and will then give them to you to vote on. Ill let you know on further developments Projects Elder Wedge Subj: READ THIS! Date: 94-12-04 22:36:43 EST From: Learjet35A All, If any of you have tried to E-Mail me, you might have noticed that I have deleted the screen name 'Sgt Talon.' I did this because I put in a promotion request three weeks ago, and still haven't been promoted. I am now using the callsign Talon under the screen name Learjet35A; my Lynx Airways screen name. I am now a civilian member of the Guild. I will still continue to write for Guild Gossip. The DOOM II contest, Body Count, is still in the works. Thanx. -=Talon=- BTW, is there a standard grade for civilian members, like Master Sergeant, or Specialist or something like that? I will try to make one up if there is not one. Subj: **CORRECTIONS** Date: 94-12-04 23:29:52 EST From: Learjet35A All, Now that I turn a civilian member, I get my promotion! I am now changed back to a military member, Sorry for the confusion.

Sienior LT whitehawk Subj: general revue Date: 94-12-05 12:18:48 EST From: Blu Badger YO Been reading posts and need to ask questions and put input? the New x-wing on cd-rom is the graphics enhanced consederably or no?? As to all the questions out there about cd-rom --YES BUY IT!!!! The Games are better not to mention outher programs like red shift,or auto diognoistic what a wonderful tool to understand everything in this reality. also if you are really into games the thrustmaster joystick and weapons control system is a must. 90% of the games out there now,support it and if they dont it is simple to make a adv. file to download... It is just like they say in there brochure "once you fly the hotus system you will never believe how you did with out it"" Plus thrustmaster has given me total support. Also I have just finished a game called Star Crusader and It is as advertised on box A cross between wing commander and X-Wing....I defently give it a thumbs up .Very good Game But now I am back to my all time faverote X-Wing.It is the best!!!!!! Thanks Blu Badger Subj: Re:X-Wing CD-ROM Date: 94-12-05 16:54:23 EST From: Jedi 007 Yes, you can do this. The .PLT files are stored on disk, so you can copy an old over to it. Subj: Re:Doom books and movie/misc. Date: 94-12-05 18:03:08 EST From: Skylord9 I agree with the fact that doom books would be cool, it would add to the storyline a little, (maybe hell returns? or the icon comes back? rebuilding earth?) As for a movie, that has to be the worst movie idea i've ever heard. For one thing, how ould they make the plot? Still, there have been dumber ideas for movies(collision of the planets, for example). As to X-WIng GOLD CD, I might buy it for christmas, it's either that or Earth Siege. Subj: Survey Date: 94-12-05 18:07:37 EST From: Skylord9 Considering the amount of time, I've gotten pretty good results so far (4-5 in one day), but I still need more so send those results in! To make more people respond and also so that I can write a better article, I have decided to make it for ANY SCI-FI GAME! So send in your top 5 sci-fi games and the worst sci-fi games that you've ever played...and please try to include a short reason(if possible). So far, people have remembered that pretty good. Subj: Re:Doom books and movie/misc. Date: 94-12-05 21:27:13 EST From: Spacer123 In Doom there was no plot line other than shoot the Bad Asses, so I can't see how there can be a book or a movie. Let is stay a game I say. Midshipman Spacer123 Master of TIE Subj: Wing Commander Armada Kicks Date: 94-12-05 21:50:20 EST From: Learjet35A All, I want to know how many of you Guild members out there own Wing Commander Armada. The sound and graphics are like nothing I have ever seen! Thanx. -=Tech Sergeant Talon=- -=Archives Branch Editor=- Subj: Passed Delta-V Date: 94-12-06 00:59:48 EST From: B Blaze It has a pretty good ending, but it's also very short. A simple animation and an epilogue is all there is, but a long ending is not always a good one. Considering the CD-ROM, I don't think I'll get one yet. (This decision was partly influenced by the abundant, positive responses from my earlier question.) -B.B. Subj: WC Armada Date: 94-12-06 13:05:41 EST From: Tim Rayner I have a review of Wing Commander Armada in the upcoming Guild Gossip, and I plan to write one about WC3 when it's shipped to me. By the way, if you own a Diamond Viper board don't expect terriffic video from WC3, Diamond isn't supplying Origin any info to have their VESA mode work. Origin Customer Service suggested we bug Diamond about helping them out so we can play with good video. Even if you don't own a Viper, bug them anyway. Much obliged.

I Recieved it yesterday. What a great game! The Story line seems realistic and everything fits together. The only problem is how long it takes to acces the CD-ROM. Good lord, It takes about six minutes when you're getting ready to take off. Subj: Re:Wing Commander III Date: 94-12-15 00:17:56 EST From: DavidC8169 I have a question for those that have Wing Commander III. In the previews, they show the TCS Concordia on the planet surface in ruins. How does it get there? Fleet Captain Snake Eyes Elder of Honors Subj: Re:Wing Commander III Date: 94-12-15 14:26:11 EST From: Tim Rayner It never really revelas how the Concordia crash landed, but it's gone. Remember my review coming on the Premiere Edition. It came with a Videocassette, novel, six CDs, T-Shirt, Calendar, poster, and a few other things. It's totally awesome. The ending of the game is pretty good too. And, yes I did finish it but it was on Rookiee, I'm playing it on Ace at the moment. Subj: Re:Wing Commander III Date: 94-12-15 20:43:59 EST From: Spacer123 In the novel Fleet Action, (Read the Timeline of the Kilrathi War in the Victory Streak manual) when Earth is attacked The Concordia gets wasted so that might be it. But it never said anything about it crashing on the Planet. Subj: Guild Gossip Content Date: 94-12-15 20:59:53 EST From: Learjet35A All, As an editor with Guild Gossip, I would like to know what Guild members would like to see more of and less of in Guild Gossip. Please post your replies. Thanx. -=Sergeant Major Talon=- Subj: Wing Commander III Date: 94-12-15 22:27:18 EST From: XWAce My brother came over with a copy of WCIII fresh of the truck at Best Buy where he works. This game is truly incredible. I have vowed to get through the other WC items first (I,II, Privateer, Armada) so that I get the whole story before I go out and get WCIII for myself. The game is great and the story line that I saw so far (up to mission 3) is very good. If you pick Hobbes for the first two missions, the Captain reprimands you at the start of Mission 3 for mot thinking his crew good enough! Talk about interactive! About the speed. If any of you have gotten the other WC on CD the mission access time is the same. I think it has something to do with CD's. Keep in mind that even though the transfer rate might be good on your CD it still does not come close to a good HD. I ran it on my 486DX2/66 with 8 RAM and a Toshiba double speed, which is the fastest double speed on the market and had no problems. The box does state you need a 486/50, but they must mean a 486DX2/50 becasue if they meant a straight 50 and DX2/66 just wouldn't cut it. Anyway, get this game, or better yet have someone get it for you for Christmas. There's still time to drop some hints! Subj: Re:Wing Commander III Date: 94-12-15 23:34:58 EST From: Marauder67 Well I went the the Vancouver Mall and poped into Software Etc. was just casually looking and then it hit me in the face, there it was WC III marked down from $69.00 to $59.00 and I took it off the shelf and kinda drooled on it for about ten minutes, looking at the screen shots.

Thanx. -=Sergeant Major Talon=- Subj: WC Armada Date: 94-12-17 16:11:00 EST From: AIC HOUSE Hello all, I'm a little behind the times. I just got Armada. The reason I hadn't gotten it yet was because I hadn't got enough information about it. so now I have it, I'll post that information. First of all, it's not just a go out and shoot tem up like X-Wing or WC 1 , 2 or Privateer. It's also not a complete strategic game either. You have types of play. Battle = The standard shootem up. (can play head to head via modem or Network) Gauntlet = Same as Battle except you are severly outnumbered. The idea is to get to the end. (15 waves of 2 or more) Armada = In Armada you start off with a Carrier and two small fighters. The object is to go from planet to planet as you discover them. You can build a mine to mine resorces ,build a shipyard and build a Fortress. These resorces that you get from mining are what you use to buy these things. But when you come accross the enemy, you do the flying during the fight. Even if you get killed, as long as you have more people still fighting, you can fly one of their ships. you will fight until you win or you die in your last ship in the battle. When the Carrier is distroyed, the level is over, thus the game. Campaign = Same as Armada except there are 11 levels. Its hard to compair it to alot of the others games, but overall Ill give it a 8 (1-10) Flight Subj: WC III Date: 94-12-17 20:01:07 EST From: Jedi 007 I got WC 3 tonight...

No new games or hints to give? Let's gets some posts, kapeesh?! Thanx. -=Sergeant Major Talon=- Subj: This place is dead! Date: 94-12-19 12:59:58 EST From: Spear10 I've noticed over the past few days there have been VERY few posts on the guild. What we need is a good contraversal issue. I, personnally, have never started a contraversal issue that people want to talk about. But, I'll try. This may sound childish, but maybe members should try looking for definite flaws, like story oversites, graphics oddities, and other such cavities in our favorite games and science fiction topics. What got me interested in this nitpicky attitude was a cool book I bought last Saturday at my local Bookstar called The Nitpickers Guide for Classic Trekkers. This is a pretty thick book, and features such flaws in the Original Star Trek series and the feature movies( except Generations, which will be covered in the DS9 guide) There is also a Next Generation guide available. For the fun of it, I'll add one of my favorite nittypicky odditity. It comes from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: When the Enterprise is departing from Spacedock, Kirk calls for one-quarter impulse power. Full impulse is one-quarter the speed of light. That means that full impulse would be approximitly 46,000 miles per second. So one quarter that speed would be aout 11,000 miles per second. S the Enterprise's impulse drive kicks in, Sulu reports one minute to Dock gates. That would be 11,000 time 60 would mean that the Enterprise was 660,000 miles away from the gates when it started moving. That would mean that the diameter of Spacedock is 330,000 if the Enterprise started at the far side of Spacedock. But, if it had started at the far side, since there are doors on both side of Spacedock, it would have been logical to use the doors on the same side of Spacedock that they were parked in. So, the Enterprise would have had to be at least in the middle of Spacedock, where Kirk could choose which doors to use. That would mean that Spacedock would have a diameter of 660,000 miles, and a circumferance of about 1,320,000 miles. Earth has a circumferance of 24,000 miles, so Spacedock would be almost 200 times the size of Earth! I refuse to believe Spacedock is THAT big! -Spear10- Subj: Defender of the Empire Date: 94-12-19 17:43:45 EST From: Codyman Everyone here keeps talking about WC3..............it's probably a great game, but there are other topics.................how about Tie's add on disk?

With WCArmada's having the option to use the modem, I would think they would put in some more info about the string and such. I saw a friend of a friends friend playing it over modem at 14400, and it was hummin. It was very crisp and I noticed nothing slow about it. I have not ben able to get it that fast. the people who ran it no longer have it on thier system and do not have the string. Does anyone know of the string or the trick to fix this prob. I know it works better that this, but right now its like doom at 2400., If you can believe that. Subj: Re:Got A Good Thing Going Here!

Date: 94-12-21 14:23:07 EST From: Marauder67 Well If you ships have faster than light engines then time goes in reverse for them according to Einstien's theroys the closer you get to the speed of light, time slows down, so in theroy time for them would be in reverse while for everyone else time would go on normally. So every one on the planet they set out to attack would age depending on how far the attackers had to travel to reach the destination, years, generations, could pass before the attacks had a chance to attack....

Privateer takes place in 2669 and Righteous Fire takes place in 2670. According to Wing Commander III, the war ends in 2669. So why are there still Kilrathi fighting against Confed in Righteous Fire? Subj: Re:This place is dead! Date: 94-12-21 15:58:46 EST From: Learjet35A In my Wing Commander Armada book, the war is still going on in 2669. So Privateer is still right.

I beat TIE Fighter within a week, and I didn't even know I had it on hard! TIE Fighter and X-Wing have very little replay value, and the graphics are nothing to be proud of. The space combat and musical score are very slow, dull, and boring. Wing Commander on the other hand, is exteremly replayable. It depends on how well the mission goes on what's going to happen next. By now, the graphics to WCII are old. The game came out 4 yeaes ago, and boasts comparable to TIE Fighter. The storyline and dialouge is excellant, and the music is dynamic and orchestrated. WCIII will blow the head off Lucasarts, and soon I will be playing nothing but WCIII. And why not give Wing Commander more credit? There are Master of X-Wing and TIE Fighter awards, but where are the Master of Wing Commander II awards? WCIII took Origin two years to produce, why not give them some credit? -Spear10- Subj: X-Com: Terror From The Deep Date: 94-12-22 14:05:08 EST From: Tim Rayner There's a slideshow for X-Com: Terror From The Deep available in the MicroProse library. Keyword: MicroProse Subj: Re:Wing Commander II Date: 94-12-22 14:50:25 EST From: Marauder67 I agree I like the fact that in Wing Commander you don't have to play the same mission over and over again to you get it right, and the mission goals are much more clearly stated. also unlike X-wing your wingman fight like they want to live to see tomorrow. also the interactions with other crew memeber is something X-wing and TIE could use but they don't. I think that TIE and X-wing are play it once and thats it but Wing Commander you can play it differtent ways each time to see what you come up with... because you don't always have to win...

I don't think that I can wait that long. Well, maybe I'll have upgraded to a Pentium (a good one) with cd-rom, mucho RAM, and 32 bit sound-blaster, by then. There is a message board at Origin for players to post suggestions about P-2 and what they would like to see on it. Give them your suggestions!

It blew everything else out of the water. Now only if I had a P100 with 20+ megs of RAM to run this baby at an unpainfull speed. he ending did kinda leave something to be desired, but that's only because the game is like a movie. If it were a movie I would be pissed, but its only a game, and I can't complain. I was very impressed with the game overall, and I would urge everyone to buy this baby if you have a system that can run it. Happy Hunting Haplo94 Subj: Re:Wing Commander Date: 94-12-26 17:05:01 EST From: XWAce I am starting to agree that the WC series is good, now if only I could get somewhere on it. It took me forever to beat the last mission in the Mcafllife system where you escort a Drayman. Now I have been frantically trying to beat the first mission in the Gimle sector where the Exeter is under attack by three Jalthi. Can someone please help. I took a peak at the Wing Commander Hint Book at my local book store and it says to come in behind the Jalthi blasting and once it's shields are down fire a missle down its rear. I can do this with one ship, problem is by then the Exeter is toast from the other two. Regarding the wingman in Wing Commander, if you read the explanation of this mission in the Wing Commander Hint Book it specifically states to ignore Angel because she is so bad. In fact it says to watch out since she likes to cut you off a lot, which she does. If this is a good wingman I'd hate to see a bad one! Any help would be great. I relaize you don't need to beat every mission, but I found out you need to be perfect on the other Gimle missions to continue on the winning track.

Senior Chief Skippy Subj: The busy Admiral!! Date: 94-12-31 17:11:45 EST From: Highlan332 A few of you have asked me to discuss what I have been up to. Obviously, I have not been around much, though I am reading your posts and getting to mail (slowly). As some of you know, when I am not acting as Guild Master, I am a full-time firefighter. Currently, I am going through paramedic training that will continue through all of 1995, finally culminating in the State Paramedic Exam sometime around January of '96. Just working as a firefighter entails 53.5 hours a week. School is about 12-15 hours more. That doesn't include ambulance time, hospital rounds, or lab time. Obviously, I am being kept busy. They tell me things will be a little slower during the summer months, so you'll probably hear more from me then. Until then, be patient in waiting for mail responses, I will get to them if they are important. Also, I am continuing work on War Cry Magazine. I just finished the most recent issue and will upload it to America Online as soon as the upload folder stops declaring "folder full". For those of you who paid for a subscription, don't bother downloading- I'll mail your issue soon. Each issue is looking better than the others. This will be the last issue published in Windows Help format. From now on they'll appear in the even more stylish Multimedia Toolbook format (for Windows) which will allow an even sharper, more professional look.

Also if you have any questions about any Wing Commander games or any general info, E-Mail me. I am a true WC fanatic and I really know my stuff. So E-Mail about any thing that has to do about WC. Thanks, Dan Subj: LucasArts Sims.. Date: 95-01-01 19:43:51 EST From: Highlan332 I received this message from someone called SlamsNJams. It is informative, so I thought I'd share it with you. --------------------------------------------- Downloaded your Warriors Guild Post2 file and was reading through it when I came across your letter to LucasArts regarding more add-ons for X-Wing. I agree that is a very lame letter. I don't think they realize how much success they have with this. But I'm sure you know that in addition to Tie Fighter, Dark Forces will be out also. They are probably up to their necks with work on other Star Wars projects that we know nothing about. One of the computer dealers in the Everett area told me that they are working on a AT-AT simulator. I can not say if this is true but I'm sure that it would be a hit. I would be interested in a X-wing add-on that would deal with the Snowspeeder or with the Millennium Falcon. Imagine flying on the surface of Hoth trying to destroy AT-AT's or out running Imperial ships on a smuggler's mission... I didn't have a copy of X-Wing until I purchased the new CD version. I don't know if anyone in your WG has the new version but it includes six bonus Historical Combat simulations. All briefings have audio. It also includes a choice of X-Wing classic or the new X-Wing format. The new format includes easier missions of the following: TOD 1, Mission 4 TOD 1, Mission 8 TOD 1, Mission 10 TOD 2, Mission 1 TOD 2, Mission 5 TOD 3, Mission 8 TOD 3, Mission 13 TOD 3, Mission 14 TOD 4, Mission 20 TOD 5, Mission 19 X-wing Historical Mission 3 Y-wing Historical Mission 6. The new game has improved graphics like Tie Fighter, but after the amount of new spaceships you incounter in Tie Fighter, X-wing could use a boost in this department. The only problem that people might have is that all the missions are read of the CD-ROM and the add-ons that I have seen (from other members) will not work. Unless there is a way around this.... --------------------------------------------- --]==Lord Grand Admiral Highlander==> ...Guild Master...

Sir Wells Subj: Re:Wing Commander II Date: 95-01-03 19:00:33 EST From: Akkbar WC3 and Armada used Pylgonnal graphics with texture mapping, get it right! :) I LOVE ALL WC STUFF, Dan Subj: Armada, WC3 Date: 95-01-03 20:02:27 EST From: AIC HOUSE Ok hers a simple question. I keep hearing post about how armada and WC3 graphics are so much better that other sims. Well I dont have WC3 but I do have Armada and the only thing I see different is when I hit the bad guy I see the shield that was hit light up. Is this what everybody is talking about or am I missing something. Commander House... Subj: Re:Xwing CD/WHITEHAWK Date: 95-01-03 22:07:01 EST From: MATEO 15 first of all I love doom 2 & earthseige.. I'm getting battledrome soon..... But nothing beats a nights work of flying through deep space at top speed and blowing up the Empire..........or Alliance (depending on which mood i'm in...) Cheif Dark Jedi Subj: Re:Xwing CD/WHITEHAWK Date: 95-01-04 19:25:57 EST From: Whitehawk Not so why don't you go and kick some deamon ass? Cap. Whitehawk Subj: Re:Xwing CD/WHITEHAWK Date: 95-01-04 20:35:11 EST From: MATEO 15 oh...Believe me I do.....well until that mission when Luke Skywalker came with me to hell (we needed Jedi Back up...).. Thats when Luke Discovered my emense Jedi powers... Then He sent me to Yavin for my training.... after about a year or so he brought me to The Crouscant to see Mon Mothma.. She said and I quote " Mateo, Your a Jedi now.. Like Luke .. If you can Fly a Xwing like he can we Need you... will you join the Navy? we Have a position for you in Red Squadron.. you would be Red 5 just like Luke.., will you?" I then said "Yes".. so thats my story.. except for the part where I got my nickname "Dark Jedi".... Dark Jedi Subj: XMas Stuff Date: 95-01-04 20:37:19 EST From: XWAce Well I like others got a few items for XMas and I bought some others myself just to make sure I got something cool. I got Super Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back for SNES. For the PC I got the XWing CD, Defender of the Empire and WCIII. All of these games are great, now if I could kust find the time to play them. I have vowed to finish WCI and WCII before I play WCIII although I did try the first four missions in WCIII just to ease the desire a little. It kicks! Subj: MechWarrior Date: 95-01-04 21:54:53 EST From: SAnders438 What about the basic, first version, of MechWarrior? Come on you ground pounders! How about some feedback? I only got so much bucks and don't want to blow it on a loser game. Senior Chief Skippy Subj: Need MAJOR HELP!!!! Date: 95-01-05 01:16:52 EST From: FlyerJD1 O.K. Guys here we go. I just bought myself a $345 850MB Conner hard drive (good deal huh!) and can't get the thing to format to its full capacity!! It only goes to about 530MB and I am told that there is something with DOS (Booooo!!) that wont let you format it any higher without a third party program!! So what I need is for someone to give me any suggestions into what third party "Disk Managment" program to buy. I was not supplied with any software when I purchased it from Fry's Electronics and have no clue what to do. ANY suggestions or ideas will help!! P.S. If you post it here, please send an E-mail copy to Jason_de_booy@fullcoll.edu THANKS!!! Midshipman Dragon's Fire Jason De Booy Subj: Nevermind :) Date: 95-01-05 16:21:55 EST From: FlyerJD1 Nevermind my last post, I fixed it!! Just had to call the company and they got me on the right track. Thanks anyways!! Jason Subj: WCIII-Final Mission Part 3 Date: 95-01-05 20:13:05 EST From: Marauder67 For all of you who havn't made it to this part in the game yet and would not like to see how the ending misson(s) are played don't read beyond the dotted lines...<--not these ones> But I do need some help so I'll ask all who have beaten this game... .............................................DON'T LOOK.......................................... Well after I get the T-Bomb and I'm on my way to Kilrah with Flash as my only remaining wingman, I keep getting killed on about the thrid/fourth Autopilot useage is there a trick or combation of attacks I need to use? Also when am I supposed cloak? Thanks for any help you can give, it's been a long war, I don't want to keep flying the same mission over and over, and I don't think it's my piloting.... Midshipman Marauder Subj: Re:WCIII-Final Mission Part 3 Date: 95-01-05 20:25:57 EST From: RolandSk Spoiler \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ All you have to do is before you autopiolet to nav 3 cloak. THen when you come to Nav 3 Hobbes (still in confed ship) and Thrakath are there to greet you. Uncloak (close to one of them) and destroy both of them. Then you'll go down to Kilrah (automatically after both of them die) re cloak and goto the fault line a let er go. Subj: Re:WCIII-Final Mission Part 3 Date: 95-01-05 20:40:49 EST From: Marauder67 Thanks for the tip! Midshipman Marauder Ready to kick some butt! Subj: I BEAT IT Date: 95-01-06 00:39:12 EST From: Marauder67 Well I beat Wing Commander III finally.... But I'm about to make some specific comments on the ending so to look if you don't want to know.. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ \ \ I really got worried when my ship was rocked by the blast and then when I was picked up by the Kilrathi I really worried, then the peace treaty scene was kinda cool and then I think they should they should of shown some more of Blair and Rachel... But I waited to the end of the credits and they have a really cool blooper thing... But other than that it was cool, I loved the game and I think it was probably the best $50 I've ever spent... I'm now waiting for either Wing Commander IV or the Wing Commander Movie! Also I can't wait to see what they do with Privateer... Midshipman Marauder "GO NAVY!" Subj: D of the E and various Date: 95-01-06 09:51:50 EST From: BenF210 I got it and I think its hard. I can't even get past the 2nd mission without either dieing or having a corvette blow up which means no secondary goals. Also Im back and rdy to rock. Nebraska Kicked butt in the Orange Bowl, Luke blew up the Death Star, And I blew up Vader's ship after he went flying, faking my damaged xwing. Projects Elder Wedge over and out Subj: Doom2 Date: 95-01-06 10:48:48 EST From: FlintCop Hey anyone here live in Michigan and want to try Doom2 over the phone? If so e-mail me and we will try it out. I have heard that it is a riot. Flintcop Subj: New Games---Graphics/no plot Date: 95-01-06 16:17:27 EST From: Skylord9 Has anyone played Rise of the Robots (by Time Warner). The game has some of the best graphics I've ever seen, but seems to have no storyline, and also stinks. I've noticed that more and more games coming out have the best graphics, sound, and Hollywood actors, but lack in how fun they are to play and in their storyline. WC 3 was an exception in that it managed to blend the two successfully (from what I've seen). Anyway, graphics and sound are well and good, but let's not forget that games should be fun and have a plot. BTW, Creature Shock is another example. Subj: Re:New Games---Graphics/no plot Date: 95-01-06 18:07:17 EST From: Marauder67 Well again even though it's not a simulation it combines the best of the two it has great graphics and a good story and that game is Under a Killing Moon, and also it's not as taking on your system as Wing Commander III.
