And how did you find this webboard?

You must all now play Ares! I demand it. I was gravedigging a bit, just looking through old stuff from 02... We had some great strategy conversations and all... it was awesome.

Anyway! You must all encounter the frustration of losing the friggin Tugboat to the massive Salrillian Carrier. You must know!

TheJ - make them play Ares. Do it. It could be like a weekend party.

Put your name down if you've never played and please tell me how you got here!

Ares is a great game. I actually registered it.

It isn't hard to find this board, because if you use any Ambrosia product, you could stumble here somehow.

Too hard to learn? There's only about 7-8 keys maximum that you'd use in single player. (not counting the arrow keys for a menu). Unlike EV, which is infinately more complex. There's even a tutorial for Ares, three of them.

As for the graphics, that's probably because Classic sucks, get a computer that starts up in 9 and play it.

I haven't played in over a year. I don't even have it.

This must change. I hope my registration code is still good....

Yeah, I was thinkin about it and I was like, ya know, I haven't touched that game in forever. I made some cool little plugs for it too. Too bad I don't have a little more time.

I think, TJ, it is now your job to indoctrinate your non-mac-using friends in this glorious thing that is Ares.

And I still think a sequal would be awesome.

Nah, just indoctrinate them into getting G5s. Of course then there's the temptation to steal it...lost a couple of friends that way... Posted Image

Anyone ever play the version of my Reversal plug that those dudes finished?

I’ve played Ares, but never registered it; I’ve even disabled the space station in level two (on multiple occasions) like any truly serious gamer would.

And the space station in level 2... I'm scrapin to even remember level two... Ah - space dishes, by chance? Those Obish cruisers were strong enough to deal quite a whoopin. It was the later levels that got hard...

They were great in multiplayer though!

I remember newb that decided to play me as Gaitori. Heh - not smooth. I told him 3 times that it was suicide, no response. So I started the match. He signed off after I beat him about 4 minutes later :-P

Bah. There's no skill in Aud vs Aud matches, and Aud vs Anything Else is pretty much a forgone conclusion.
