<p>I played a lot of Master of Orion 2. I tested many different custom races.</p> <p>But every now and then I met a player, who had chose a combination I didn't think even could work, even less work successfully on impossible settings.</p> <p>I'd like to hear your custom race settings, why you choose them, and which strategy you used with them most successfully.</p> <p>But also races that were less successfully, because they were harder to play, sometimes can be more fun while playing. I'd like to hear those too. </p> <p>An example for both would be: I usually take <em>Creativity</em> as it gives you a large advantage over your opponents. But <em>Uncreative</em> can be much more fun playing, as you have to trade and steal an conquer more of your technology.</p>

<p>I've heard good things about Tower Defense and Robo Defense, but not sure where to start. Are these just Flash/Silverlight browser games, or is there a freeware (or commercial) game that's natively for Windows (7)?</p>

<p>What are some good cooperative computer games to play with a significant other? I want a game we can play together instead of competing.</p> <p>This question is slightly different than "best co-op games to play with a friend", simply because the stereotypical yet true difference in how <em>most</em> men and <em>most</em> women enjoy computer games (let's not start a flame war over this, you know what I mean).</p> <p>Please submit one game per answer for voting purposes.</p>

<p>There is this game I remember playing in the 90's with my sister. I was only a child so I can't remember in detail, but I remember the screen was blank, and you typed in what you wanted to do and it lead on to other things.</p> <p>For example you would say "go into room" and then something would happen. Then you would type another command, and in the end you would end up dying or something like that.</p> <p>Can anyone help please?</p>

<p>We (some friends and I) were playing a lot of Counter Strike or even better Battlefield 2 or Battlefield 2142. Left 4 dead also was some fun.</p> <p>We tried Call of Duty 4, which didn't work out for us, as it doesn't offer enough possibilities to work together as a team.</p> <p>We are always searching for games that offer that kind of gameplay.</p> <p>The last I heard from Battlefield - Bad Company 2 it should fit nicely into that description.</p> <p>Are there others?</p> <p>As I can only accept one answer I'll take the one that I like most, but will vote for each that could also be an answer to me.</p>

<p>I've often toyed with the idea of buying a racing wheel for some racing-sim action (I don't mind arcade-racing on a pad, but I can never get into sims).</p> <p>There's obviously a reasonable scene surrounding racing simulation on the PC, but whenever I consider it from the position of someone that tends to prefer arcade racers, games like Forza and NFS:Shift seem to be appealing and polished in a way that the PC sims aren't.</p> <p>Have you ever invested in a wheel for use on a console? If so, which wheel did you use, and did you feel it provided enough use / value for money?</p>

<p>I'm having trouble identifying a game I once played long ago. I'd like to revisit it for nostalgia's sake, but I can't remember the title. Does anyone know what game I'm thinking of? I'll describe what I remember.</p> <ul> <li>It's a very old PC game. I'm gonna guess it's from sometime in the 90's. The graphics reminded me of Raptor: Call of the Shadows.</li> <li>It was a top-down futuristic shooter in which you controlled some very quick vehicles. You could move in any direction, not just upwards like in the aforementioned Raptor.</li> <li>At one point, the female protagonist made a disparaging comment about an ensign "Lazar" and how the only thing he could shoot off besides his mouth was his penis. Funny how things like that stick in your memory.</li> <li>At some point early in the story, the previously mentioned female protagonist gets into a horrible accident and wakes up as a cyborg. Some of the doctors gently inform her that when they tried waking her on previous occasions, she went berserk and twisted off somebody's head.</li> </ul>

<p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a big problem in a mission in Majesty 2. I tried different strategies, but none came even close to achieving victory.</p> <p>I'm talking about the mission, where you are in between to enemy cities. Rogues/Elves and Clerics/Paladins. After about 15-20 minutes I'm always dead, all buildings destroyed. I don't see how I could possible stop 4-8 Paladins supported by the same number of Clerics after that time.</p> <p>Anyone here can offer some possibilities how this can be done?</p> <p>Cheating is NOT an option :).</p>

<p>When upgrading a TrackMania XAseco installation (<a href="http://www.gamers.org/tmn/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamers.org/tmn/</a>), a bunch of XML files need to be upgraded to incorporate new elements and configuration settings. Does anyone know of a tool that can upgrade the files of an XAseco installation from one version to the next?</p> <p>I <em>would</em> add tags for <strong>TrackMania</strong> and <strong>XASECO</strong> if I was allowed to. :(</p>
