anyone heard of operation neptune?I still have the operation Neptune floppies. That game is HARD for adult gamers, completely ignoring the fact that its intended for 5-8th graders.
the Mice Men? (a little more obscure)
Useless:

In hell.
I've never tried pumping over 100 z-levels, but I understand that this is going to drain your FPS big time while it is at work. Just so you don't get surprised.
Medic is one of the best classes to learn with IMO. It's actually a lot of fun too. Just stick by the big guys and heal them, and hey, you'll figure out where they go and how they kill people and how not to get killed (plus you'll be around a corner a lot of the time so YOU won't get killed as often).
After you have a sense of what you're actually supposed to DO in the maps, have some fun with soldier and heavy as they're easy enough to get used to, just point and click. Engineer is easier to learn in some maps than others, because there's often certain places for guns that really suck.
The only reason I got all pissy is because I don't like the premise of 'pyro now requires more skill! If you want to dick around play soldier heavy or demoman!'It's fine. I didn't mean to be rude. I just got a lot of flaming for still thinking the pyro does great.It still has potential to be truly awesome, but the difficulty ramp has been ramped up significantly.
Seriously, pyro does not need to be a damn 'skill class'.
The hole at the bottom of the chamber is giving me the jibblies, however, so I build a door in the tunnel, lock it, and then put up a wall outside the door for good measure (shut up, cowardice has served me well in the past).
Unfortunately it didn't work. We just stick the OpenGL file into the main DF directory correct?No, you also have to go to the init.txt and turn off the intro, and set PARTIAL_PRINT:NO:x to PARTIAL_PRINT:YES:0.
Was she wet?
Seems to happen to wet dwarves that come within a few tiles of magma.
Related to the deadly rain bug.
Ostru, a huge feathered leech. It has wings and it undulates rhythmically. It's sea green feathers are downy. Beware it's poisonous gas! Also, it's body is gone. My axedwarves hacked it into oblivion. About all it managed to do was spew bile all over the floor. It's going to take my dwarves weeks to clean up that mess!
I'm not sure if I should be jumping from joy or facepalming; my forts residential district is being dug into a seam of lignite back to back with a vein, around 4 blocks wide, of hematite. Also, my cistern is flanked on two levels by a seam of bituminous coal. Good thing there's plenty more where that came from.
How is this a facepalm? Just dig it all out, build walls where the walls should be, and smooth the rest.
