[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Not to get into an argument, but yes, ME is in some ways far worse than Win 98. Microsoft release a new OS. It's buggy. A SE and several internet patches later, and it's fine. Now fast forward to 2001. Microsoft are working on a fairly radical upgrade of the Windows system, while 3 men and a cat of some sort continue to update the older system. Bill is getting bored. Bill wants a new house. Bill needs money to advertise XP. Bill tells the ME lot to just finish the line they are on and release the thing. They do. It's buggy. No-one cares because half the mugs fell for Bill's other tactic of calling NT 5 "Windows 2000", and the other half don't care because ME will only be the "ne" OS for about 5 months. Simon is right about TIE Fighter. I had a Yamaha XH MIDI card, and it sounded...well...awesome. And at the time, the site of those massive Star Destroyers pretty much made a mess of my trousers. It took all the good stuff from X-Wing, removed the bad stuff (like the endless waiting around and the lack of clarity over mission objectives), and you ended up with one of the best PC games of all time. Alliance is also pretty good, but judging both as products of their time, TIE Fighter wins. It also portrays cnub to capital ship fighting a teeny bit more realistically than in Wing Commander. Blair could often shoot down several capital ships a mission, whereas in the Star Wars games taking on a Star Destroyer in an X-Wing is pretty much suicide (but [i]just[/i] about possible, if you are God). I do actually have a guilty liking for the WC games. I finished WC4 over a weekend of constant playing. Which also shows it up a bit. The TIE Fighter Collector's CD lasted about 20 times as long, mainly because it had 7 billion missions on it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
