Wow. I didn’t know there were people out there still playing this. I loved WMC – got to like level 20 before I realized I was spending too much time on it, and this was just two years ago. Does anyone know where to get saved games, since as fun as shooting the minotaur to get the light blue core out on level 8/9 on the first planet is, it’s a drag to do it all over again. To BillKist – just load a saved game and start over from it – that should work. Also, does anyone still play networked games with Wild Metal Country?
BTW – controls are really easy to use once you get the hang of it, and just don’t use the turret if it’s that hard.

Wish I could reload this and start over. I’m running around with the minotauer now and cannot restart the dang game. Anyone know how to do that ?

This is by far the best 1st person shooter. I’ve actually played the whole massive thing over few times. And the greatest reward is that after completing the final battlefield you get to drive around with the enemys arsenal, even the mighty minotaur. This reminds me of Myst and esp. Uru that also showed a huge potential and somehow just disappeared.

Pepe loves this game. I have played it for years !!! Wish I could restart it from the beginning though. I have collected all the powercells and am ( I think) in the final screen which leads me nowhere. I’d love to remove it from my registry and reinstall it. They hide that log file really well though.
Simple game..nice to just goof off and relax playing it.

Just found the WMC download at RockStar. I remembered being amazed at the physics and game play. Now I also remember the motion sickness. ;-) I originally got it free with a TNT2 graphics card.

XP doesn’t like the installer much (I had to click “ignore” on some schmutz about a 16-bit subsystem not being registered correctly) and the “hardware detection” utility kept crashing. I eventually ran the game anyway. It worked, but I think the graphics are sub-optimal. I believe the HD util creates a file called “3DMA Settings”.

My favorite tank was always the Roadrunner, the weird jet-propelled ball.

I remember actually liking the demo of this. The control scheme for moving made a lot of sense to me, although maybe not the controls for shooting.

Me too!

Why does the Revisit an Old Story link consistently point at articles that came from the early days of RPS?

Well the only way it worked for me is to play it on a 11 year old laptop with a pentuim III processor and a 16mb graphics card… But It won’t work right on my Dual core 512mb system… so, just by an old computer That’ll do you good.

hey will thomas !
yeah this happened to me too.
gta 2 is fine but gta one and london 1969 are lagging because it has an inconsistent frame rate. do you know how to fix the frame rates for them?
