Introducing Myself

:op2: Okay now that Ive got your attention let me tell you a little about myself.
First time I played OP2 was in 2001: I had found a cd of my recently deceased
grandmother. It countained a demo of op2. After playing the game, I looked everywhere but couldnt find the full version. A few years later, I finally found the game from here. I got off it after a while due to my poor skills (I was only 8)
I started playing other games, and eventually in 2007 took a look at it again.
I finally beat the campaign for both sides (on easy) and was pretty much finished.
-Yes I know Im not the best at OP2 lol thats what happens when you play many games in your lifespan. I could beat Eden Starship Hard and Plymouth Starship hard, I probably suck against people though.
Anyway, Im going to try and get hamachi and play some games soon. BTW, this question has been in my head for a while know so Im just going to say it flat out:
Why do people still play this game?
Yes I know, Im probably going to get flamed for it, but really why?
Its from 1997 LMAO. And the wierd part about it is it pretty good, in terms of gameplay. Anyone who has OP2, do you guys play games beside it?
Their are games with a similar(as far as the Rts thing goes, minus the colony managment) feel too them like:
Command and Conquer:
The First Decade
C&C:Generals
C&C 3: Tiberium Wars
Also, if you like space games, then check out Starcraft.
Its not the newest, but a 2nd one is in devolopment by Blizzard.
Yes I know you think I hate OP2 but actually it can compete with these games.
Anyway, hopefully I can figure out  Hamachi and play a few games.  
Looking forward to OP3. (thumbsup)

Hello, and welcome to our forums :)

To your question,
Quote
has been in my head for a while know so Im just going to say it flat out:
Why do people still play this game?

I still play Outpost 2 because I enjoy it.  I also still play Lords of the Realm 2, which I got with Outpost 2 as a 2-game combo pack for christmas (either '97 or '98).

Other games I play include:
Call of Duty (1 & 2)
Myst, Riven, Exile, Revelations, End of Ages, URU
Dinosaur Safari (VERY old game, still fun sometimes)
Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom
Quake (1-4)
Runescape

Personally, I prefer the older games.  What they ack in graphics quality, they more than make up for in gameplay.

Iamck in runescape (yes, I still play...sometimes...)
srentiln in minecraft (I like legos, and I like computer games...it was only a matter of time...) and youtube...
