Hello folks, I am new to the forum. I found this place the other day while day dreaming about the good old days of playing Wing Commander in my youth. Imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to find this place, and to see so many of the old school games still out and about.
I have a quick question, and I hope this does not violate any rules...and I hope this is not something I missed while skimming the forum. If this is against the rules, please forgive me and remove this post.
I noticed on the main page that one can play Armada and Prophecy online in multiplayer mode. I read somewhere else on the board that the Secret Operations downloads are no longer available. My question is thus...Can one play multiplayer Prophecy without the "Gold" addition? Should I try to randomly find folks playing Armada instead? Should I try both? What is the scoop?
As a side note, I was wondering how many folks here play prophecy online or Armada in multiplayer, and how could I meet up with a group of folks. I know that there is an IRC channel, but I would feel a little shy just jumping into IRC and asking random folks if they wanted to play a few rounds.
I am not looking for a way to scam my way into playing older games, nor am I trying to avoid paying for Prophecy Gold. I am just sending out feelers to see how large the online community is for this game in multiplayer so I can decide if buying Prophecy Gold is a wise investment. $50 clams is alot of dough to me.
Any advise would be welcomed.
Any multiplayer Ming Commander is a good thing in my book.
Regards,
Kai Osprey
