I have like 10 N64 games and they're all good, I mean, if you liked the game it was worth your money at the time right? that's like saying you spent 50p on bread 6 months ago, now you have regurgitated the bread and it is worth crap. anyway they aren't worthless, you can still sell n64 games as well as the console just shop around. see if you can find a shop called "gamestation". it might only be UK based but they sell old consoles like mega-drives, n64s, etc, trade and sell games, as well as sell new releases.

description: ..how am i fucked, i got it, and it works fine. Online plays great. I hope you know there is always a patch to anything. Im sorry but its true. Give it a month or so and youll see EA move in and fuck the whole thing up. I waited 7 years for goldeneye 2. EA made it and it blows ass. Great companies go under even if pirates dont mess with it. RARE went under long before the first N64 emu came out. And i somewhat agree with NeoX, i would like to try the product first, hell i own three copies of renegade, and 4 mint copies of FF7, because they earned their status. So far half life 2 is a big let down. just like Halo. First 8 hours your just on a swamp bike, and you cant even see your hands. The game has just started and its already so repetative its sickning. The lvs are impressive in detail though. I say lock this, it isnt going anywhere.

I know a large group of people who all chipped in a little bit to purchase a single instance of HL2. They all logged on and downloaded HL2. Steam doesn't care how many people play the Single player. If 500,000 people coordinated and all wanted to play hl2. They could buy gold, They would have to pay a 180th of a cent. To ALL play. Now if anyone wants to play the Multiplayer they can't do that, Which I would assume Oblivion does seeing as he wants to mod it. I just wanted to point out that while Valve thinks they're so smart, and you all praise them, they left a huge ass whole... lol

Also, Doitle, what you said about many people sharing has a flaw. You can share it, but you can't play it more than once at a time with one account. I don't get why people think you can avoid logging onto Steam or that Single Player does not require Steam. You DO have to log in for both Multiplayer and Single Player... Get it right damnit.

description: You don't get it. You log in. Steam doesn't care if two or 500,000 people are logged in at the steam My Games screen. Only when you attempt to play CS:S does it flag you. Like I said these people all just log in and play HL2 with impunity. That's the big flaw of steam's I'm talking about. Icedog go test it, give your username and password to a friend and have them log in, then you log in. Surprise surprise, nothing happens. Just don't both play CS:S at the same time.

I've been there when they did it. Not like "This D\/de on teh aim telld me dat j000 canm log en 2 tymes." But Actually seeing it done. I was skeptical too but like I say, There are several people I know and have watched them, log on and all play HL2 in one account. They ask each other if anyones playing CS:S before they go on so they can all play that without raising suspicions.

description: Renegade is a one of a kind game, I admit it, but once CnC Commando comes out, I sadly say, that I may leave Renegade to weekends only. I will not ever abandon it, I have tried. The Renegade community is like no other, and only a mod that ports Renegade could make me waver in my loyalty. I shall see how Commando is like, never really liked RenAlert or Reborn. Maybe I will try out the RenEvo mod for HL2 that makes the Dead Six return, but I will never know. Hands down, Renegade is a game that no other can top, the perfect mix of strategy and such. Maybe one day a small company like Westwood all on its own will buy the Command and Conquer lisence, restore it to it's glory, and make a Renegade 2. I swear, they would make MILLIONS off of that. If CnC Commando for the Source engine can pull off a clone of Renegade, I will play the original less. Commando is the only candidate I see for me to make a clan in, and even so, Commando will NEVER be anything as good as Renegade. The Renegade engine was specifically designed for this perfect mix of strategy, and let's all face it, if a company took the idea and made a game like it, MANY Renegade fans would pack up and move. Renegade is as good as it is because of the perfect mix of strategy and shooting. Never, even with all the games I own, have I seen a game where people really do work as a team. People rush, make strategies, and use perfected combonations of people to achieve a victory. Only one game that was cancelled could ever have taken on the role of this perfect blend of strategy, teamwork, and action. It's name was Command and Conquer Renegade 2. EA got that shut down. For all of you that were just action, gung-ho jocks, you'll never see into the delicate, wonderful gaming CnC Renegade offered. You will never understand how much Renegade really does make action games look good. All you can see are graphics, better engines, and more people. You never saw into how really advanced the W3D engine was, even for now, it stil…

description: oblivion165 i got a geforce4 and a gig stick of ram, so its not the hardware. its just the half-rendering thing. Its a good game, it was to short for me though. Yet most games have a limited story line. Overall it deserved my money, so i ordered a clean copy of amazon. From a distance: Up Close: Hell it might even be fixable, i havent looked at the options yet. It sucks because my brother and i will race swamp buggies and im hauling ass, then all of the sudden there is a pile of barrels infront of me. though in the right mood it makes it more fun. Uh, that has NOTHING to do with Half-Life 2. Everything renders very far for me, and the game looks hella better than that. Turn up your settings and maybe you won't feel like you wasted your money.

description: oblivion165 SuperFlyingEngi A GeForce 4 is not a great video card any more.... The game looks fine, and nothing pops up in front of me with my 9800 Pro and 512 Mb of RAM. its still decent, and a gig stick....there isnt any commercial or domestic program my comp cant handle. I do mean Unix and etc aswell. Except for Half-Life 2, apparently. After all, GeForce 4s don't have hardware support for DirectX 9.0, so that's probably where the problem's coming from.

description: If Half-Life2 is messing up, its not the game engine. I have had the same problem. Do an anti virus scan on te disc or your hard drive it is already installed. I found the Trojan Horse on mine. If my estimate is correct, then you will have some nasy little virus in your hard drive as well. Norton Anti-Virus, if you have it, then it should contain the virus rather quickly. I don't trust any other virus protector.

description: Oblivion, stop being so damn oblivious to the fact that JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN RUN IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL RUN PERFECTLY. Ever wonder why the recommended settings are different from the minimum requirements? Maybe because the Recommended means it will play to the best of its capabilities, and minimum requirements just means that it can play it without any MAJOR problems.
