I would have to read the manual again, but you just drop the files in a certain directory and off you go. I _think_ they can even be in different formats. I will have to check. The music in BF Vietnam is the stereotypical '60's music that makes you want to put flowers in your hair and slip on some Birkenstock's... Hardly the score you want to eliminate baddies to. Need some Korn or OPM or Cypress Hill for that.

it reminds me of the game "state of emergency" for xbox, i used to put in rock cd's and it would play them for the soundtrack

Medieval II: Total War is an absolutely stunning game. The game play, the amazing graphics and the complete control never leave you bored. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to ANYONE who owns a PC capable of running it.

I give it 10/10 (in it's genre) =D

i have total war viking invasion, anyone remember that game on the program "time commanders" on BBC 2 a few years back, me and my housemate were both addicted to that program!

fave games are:

world of warcraft - don't have BC yet, but it is on order
counter strike 1.6 - imo better than source
BF2142 - play it when i've been ganked a few tiems on wow, takes out the aggression! I absolutely love the titan play on this game.

another game i was looking forward to was Star trek legacy, however it got totally slated by the press, so I'm thinking it might not be so good. Shame really cuz i was looking for a good playable trek game since Bridge commander a few years ago.

Hands down, best game ever, SkiFree.

Can you say Win95? I remember playing this game literally for HOURS on end... Oh man were those the days.

Download it now.

jeez, i remember that bad boy. we had it on a floppy disk and used to play it at school all the time on the I.T. computers. I seem to remember one game that had a "boss" button that changed it to look like a spreadsheet or work document of some sort!

...I seem to remember one game that had a "boss" button that changed it to look like a spreadsheet or work document of some sort!

Several games had that feature. Links (one of the best golf games) had that feature that got use ALOT! when I worked at McDonnell Douglas. It was hard to explain why 4 people were huddled around an IBM PC staring at a spreadsheet when we were all hardware guys...

EDIT: Oh and the _first_ graphical game I played on a PC? Helicopter Simulator, running on a system with and 8088 and cga graphics's... (and it was a brand new system...)
