raaaah!

[ECA]

went out to the garage to get some food from the freezer and lo and behold somthing caught my eye!

it was the cases of shadowcaster and syndicate!!!!!!!!!!

For those who dont know shadowcaster was a game by origin and was basically a fantasy action game and syndicate well, if you havnt heard of syndicate you havnt heard of the best squad game ever.

I will try loading em up later and pray they still work.

The syndicate music still goes round in my head, probably too many hours spent on it in the early hours :-]

No, that was a lame shitty attempt at a money maker sequel and didnt capture the spirit of the original.

 

[Gef]

Syndicate Wars was the sequel, the original is still the daddy!

 

[dysfunction]

I did not know that.

 

[mank!]

I played Syndicate Wars! I didn't fucking understand a second of it!

Play the original, the sequel sucked.

 

[nath]

The sequel was rather lame, yes.

However, it looked absolutely awesome.

 

[GDW]

Linkage to d/l original please

 

[stu]

You can get both from abandonware.

Syndicate rocked. I didn't think Syndicate Wars sucked that badly.

Civilization was turn-based...

 

[nath]

Ah but civilisation lacked a certain.. Je ne sais quoi.

Actually, Je sais indeed. It lacked homosexuality, which xcom had in shedloads.

 

[ECA]

xcom was good

but syndicate was better.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. :|

 

[nath]

My point was civ == gud, xcom == shit0x

Tbh.

(edited because it took my this long to work out what "it" you were refering to when you said "like it's a bad thing" :|)

 

[lynchet]

XCom, Civ AND Syndicate were all brilliant

Played em all first on my trusty Amiga. I do seem to remember with syndicate though that you had all this diff weaponry but pretty well every mission could be completed by a heavily armed squad with miniguns ---- still remember that Atlantic level though

 

[nath]

Yes, probably because miniguns were fucking hardcore.

 

[plightstar]

yeah I liked Syndicate, it was fun to play its been a few years though.

I think I still have a demo of the sequel somewhere.

 

[ECA]

minigun and gauss equipped squad = ownage.

That last level on the rig was a complete bitch though :-]
