After finishing U7 and UW, I was looking for something to do,
so I picked up this game.  It's rather well done and fits in
about 5 megz on the old (and, of course, cramped) HD.
It plays an awful lot like EOB ][, except you don't NEED
food, but you will want it pretty bad if you don't want to
rest your life away regaining HP, SP, and Stamina.  (That's
right Stamina).  When Stamina reaches 0 -- you fall asleep.
There are several character races to choose from (some
'traditional' -- human, elf, ... -- and some 'new' --
mook, dracon, rawulf, felpurr) each with different traits.
One of the races -- dracon -- has the added benefit of being
related to dragons, and so can spit acid, though it takes
a good bit of stamina to do so.

Gameplay is mostly straightforward and easy to figure out,
though the lockpicking table causes problems until you
grasp the logic behind it.  You can save the game as much
as you want, so if you meet a party that's too tough to handle
you can start over at the space right before you find them
(provided you saved it there) then keep trying till one
comes up that you can handle.

The only problem I have with the game are its random encounters.
For some reason, out of nowhere you can be fighting creatures
that don't belong in the area you happen to be in.

Other than that, I'd give it a 'B+'.  It doesn't get an 'A'
because there's no speech for my SB, though the music and
sound effects are pretty good.

BTW, in case you're not familiar with the basic Wizardry/EOB
scenario -- it's not 'REAL TIME', it's 'PHASED'.  You choose
each movement, then tell the computer you're ready for it.

  I myself have never used the ftp site at PUCC. The two I use most of the

  These are internet addresses. I'm not sure what the bitnet equivalents are.

Well, I should know about the starwars game coming out, after all, one of my
classmates was working on the polygons that they were using.  Yes, it is
polygon graphics, but my friend assures me that they have made some vast speed
improvements, allowing for a much higher level of detail.  In addition, you
can fly X-wing, Y-wing, and A(?)-wing fighters.  The game is a lot less linear
than Wing Commander, and you never see yourself, thereby nullifing all of the
"ol' bluehair" jokes...  ;}

I have found that Starcon is a major hit with everyone I know because of
this I assume that you already have it.  Anyway it has strategy if you want
it (planning things) and in battling other ships (action) it requires the
ability to exploit each ships weapons and the opponents weaknesses.  I have
been playing the game since it came out and as long as I can find new and
worthy opponents I will always play them.  I consider it one of the best
games of all time.

This remonds me anyone know when Star Control 2 is coming out? It looks
really nice I would be interested in trading with someone.

I was wondering if anyone knew of an FTP site where I could find some data

If you have something which is not available at an FTP site, could you send

    About the Strike Commander Demo...

    When I read the initial posts about the demo, I got real excited.
    However, since I don't have an account that supports ftp, I thought I'd
    check the GAMEPUB forum on Compuserve (that's where all the game
    publishers have their latest demos available for downloading).  When I
    checked the Origin library I found no trace of a Strike Commander Demo.
    What I did find were two .GIF files that show *possible* screen shots
    from the game.  Not willing to take 'no' for an answer, I posted a
    question about the availability of the demo.

    The answer I received was pretty surprising.  I was informed that the
    'demo' was in fact a STOLEN copy intended for Origin internal use only.
    The person replying to my query said that the file had been removed
    from wuarchive by the sysop(s).  BTW - I DIDN'T mention that wuarchive
    was the upload site for this demo, the respondent already knew!

    Now we know why it has been removed.

    *Sigh*  Let's hope another Xmas doesn't go by without a Strike
    Commander release.

Well, the answer to this is that you have to hit the guard about 50 or 60
times!!!  This can be a bit difficult, as he is chasing you and firing the
whole time.  I have found that by opening the door then backing all the way
across the main room at a run, I can usually kill him pretty easily.

<<<<Cheat/Hint>>>>

If you are low on ammo/health/firepower when you reach level 9, there is a
secret room off to the left as you enter the main room.  It is behind the
center tapestry.

Hi folks,

	it seems to me that a lot of us are buying the same games and
getting burnt by lousy products - and it occurs to me that a list of
reviews would be very helpful (why do I get the feeling this is a case of
me and my big mouth). so....

	If anyone is interested, I would be willing to gather reviews and
compile them into a monthly "what's new & what's it like" list that I
would send on or around the first of each month.

	Reviews would be compiled from gripes/complaints/praises found on
this list, AND any full reviews or opinions people would like to send me.

	If this is of interest to anyone, please let me know. Likewise if
you think it would be a waste of time.

Subject:      List of archie sites

I know their has been a lot of talk about nongame related posts.  I am sorry but
this list has help people (like me) learn about the joys of the internet, and I
feel that I sould sare this information.
This new list of archie sites contains two new sites from japan and information
on how to get a list of anonymous ftp sites from an archie server.
archie.migill.ca is down indefinatly so take your questons to another site.
cs.hiji.ac.il and archie.wide.ad.jp require client software.  After looking at
all of them, archie.rutgers.edu seems to be the larges site (in terms of ftp
sits sampled) in the world.
================================================================================

There's a wonderful thing out there called "archie" that lets you look for
programs.  Telnet to one of these sites, login as "archie", or send email to
archie@(site name) with a archie command as a subject.  You'll never have to
ask "Where do I find something" ever again as long as you know the name of it.
You might have to browse through a lot of output first, but if you want it,
it's worth the time.

Here's a list of archie sites:
  archie.mcgill.ca    (132.206.2.3)     McGill University, Montreal, Canada
  archie.sura.net     (128.167.254.179) SURAnet, College Park, Maryland, USA
  archie.ans.net      (147.225.1.2)     ANS, New York, USA
  archie.unl.edu      (129.93.1.14)     Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
  archie.rutgers.edu  (128.6.18.15)     Piscataway, New Jersey, USA
  archie.funet.fi     (128.214.6.100)   FUnet, Helsinki, Finland
  archie.au           (139.130.4.6)     Deakin University, Geelong, Australia
  archie.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.11.3)    Imperial College, London, UK
  cs.huji.ac.il       (132.65.6.5)      Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel
  archie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp(130.54.20.1)Kyoto, Japan
  archie.wide.ad.jp   (133.4.3.6)       Tokyo, Japan

* For the most up-to-date list, telenet to archie.migill.ca server and give it
  the command 'servers'.

* For the most up-to-date list of anonymous ftp sites telnet to a site and
  give the command 'list'.
