[Eric-develop] Networked X-Wing Battle

[Gavin R. B. <ga...@ga...>]

Guys,

I have had a nice idea for a bit o' fun:

Imagine we invite a group of Micro$oft VIPs to enter a networked game of
X-Wing or equivalent. The game contract will be agreed in advance to be
completely fair. If the game is an interesting one, me and Chris can try
and get it televised on satellite...

BTW, I have experience of space combat sims since I first started
playing XIPHOS at 14 years of age. I remember sitting in the classic
'Star Wars' arcade machine when I was 5 years old. At 16 yrs I migrated
to the likes of X-Wing, and earned medals to make my brother-in-law's
eyes turn green with envy.

Seeing as though the space-combat sim is an endangered species of game,
I have recently downloaded kobayashimaru from SourceForge, which is a
space sim. This is quite interesting to look at, but I have no
intentions of wasting too much time on it...

One might say that I am the 'Last Starfighter'.

May the ports be with you..
				Gavin. (|;-)

Know any good stunt flyers? I need all the help I can get out here.
