    Anyone here up for some Universal Combat multiplayer?

    Just picked up He-who's-name-shall-not-be-mentioned's Collectors Edition of Universal Combat. I have an extra computer which isn't doing anything here at the moment. Would anyone be up for some Universal Combat MP this weekend if I started a server?

    Will probably take you longer than that to figure out how to start a server. Then allow a week for someone to figure out how to connect to your server. Then another week to figure out how to find each other in game.

    Is this is that strange kind of multiplayer game where you score the most points by not playing?

    Ummm, I played the original Universal Combat when it came out...never had any problems setting up a server or anything. And I was, uh, like...serious, Tom.:)

    Make fun of me, will you? I'll show you all!

    I'll show you! I'll summon the Beast! And his minions too!

    Universal Combat sucks monkey balls!

    Derek Smart is a liar!

    3000AD should be shut down on charges of impersonating a game studio!

    The only safe place now is Cleve's bomb shelter. ;)

    Maybe we can give Jamie Kennedy a break and google-bomb DS into rapebaby status.

    BTW, don't you have to have some special files to run a server for that game? Files that can only be obtained by registering on Satan's forum and pledging your undying allegiance.

    Stare as I might at your post, I come back to one question every time:

    What the hell is wrong with you?

    Bought it from the Gamestop by JC Penney's in Roosevelt Field.

    I've always liked the Universal Combat series. It's like a giant playpen in space, and the learning curve never bothered me.

    No, Cleve had to put Grimoire on hold so he could build a time machine so he could go back in time and spend more time working on Grimoire, so he could get it out before Wizardry 8, like he promised. It's complicated.

    For you, maybe, but not for Cleve. He just flexed a couple of times and it changed the rotation of the Earth so he could go back. He doesn't need machines. He has raw power.

    Universal Combat: SE is not a bad game, other than the fact that it has over a decade of baggage attached to it. The UI is still mired in the early 90's, but there's a lot to play here.
