I hate them.

Ehm... Oni was Bungie's FPS before Halo, right? That was sprite based...

Yeah, that and marathon... but Halo definitely was not one of the first 3D shooters...

First 3D shooter?



bahahahahhahahah

No, not that.

I mean one of the first, truly 3D shooters.
Marathon and Oni were sprite based, which is 2 dimensional shapes moving around a 3 dimensional space.

Halo actually made 3 dimensional models for objects and characters, and made them part of the 3 dimensional space they were moving in.

Which is why I said "one of the first".

The second astronaut admonishes him and says that "only we could do it. Only we had the rocket technology. Only we had the guidance technology. Only we had Werner Von Braun."

Was the astronaut's name "Adolf"?

No, Klaus.

But the whole point was to be a "What if." Maybe '49 is way too soon, but the Nazis originally found Werner Von Braun in a German civilian science program, and getting into space is what he always wanted to do.
Finally, the idea of getting to the moon without electronics, relying solely on clockwork and gyroscopes is... elegant.

and Pathways into Darkness

tbh most games can realy be catagorised(i hope). i think we should bring back point and click

Most games. Spore is the exception.

I disagree. Spore contains many clinches that typically go along with games marketed towards core gamers but built for casuals.

What genre is it? It certainly doesn't take a casual gamer to beat.
I think I may have said this wrong...

Spore? Thats a very easy game.

It's easy on easy and normal, and then you get to hard. Go play Civization on that, tell me how easy it is then.

Its still pretty easy.
A pain in the ass, but easy

Easy if you do everythiong right quick. I made the mistake of not allying with the huge enemy nation that comes up.
