Pete Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Laser Squad Nemesis - the massively addictive play-by-email game from the creators of X-COM, the Gollop brothers - is coming on in leaps and bounds, and the action is really hotting up. We'd hoped to bring you something special in the form of some mega-juicy information and web pages, but the plans are once more getting delayed... But fear not!! We have got the LSN program available for download courtesy of the lovely chaps at Codotech, and that's not all! It's BRANDED with the snazzy X-COM Tactical Command logo, making it unique to this site. To get into the action, you can donload the 10.8MB file from the following location: HERE! If you want to subscribe to this fantastic game after a bit of a play with the hotseat modes, and the free games available with the software, you can do so from this very site by clicking HERE and paying the teeny tiny $25 subscription fee (roughtly £15.50 for UK residents) for six months. Why's this considered a measly amount to pay? Because the game is constantly expanding. To find out all the latest info, check out the Official Site or the excellent UK Fansite - LaserSquad.co.uk This is just a sample of the LSN goodness to follow here at XCTC, so hang on to your seats (well... preferably keep one hand on your mouse at least...) and enjoy the ride!

Blade Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Just a note: The subscription fee is for a whole SIX MONTHS - which works out at a couple of quid a month, well worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 23, 2002 Author Share Posted November 23, 2002 I updated the news post a bit to correct some information and add a bit. The stats are good on the file so far - 22 downloads, of which 4 are me testing the link, so 18 poeple have uber-shiny software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 URK !!! This zip file has downloaded twice as an invalid archive ? :hmmm: Anybody else got it to un-zip ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 24, 2002 Author Share Posted November 24, 2002 Cuh, I dunno If you go to the downloads page and read it carefully, it says to rename the file to .exe after download Basically my server is being funny with me about.exe files and trying to run them rather than offer them for download... and I didn;t have the time to upload it in a proper .zip format on my crappy 56k connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 26, 2002 Author Share Posted November 26, 2002 Erm... I'd wait and see how the game evolves mate Keep your eyes pointed in a generally LSN-type-direction. They've not stopped developing it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 i would pay if the game was 'online' and you fought over a world where you send squads around the whole multiplayer world and enteracted with people and killed them kept experience and money so you can buy weapons in shops etc. This is one of the many things they are planning to do in the future mate have you played it yet? if you have time download it and play the 3 FREE games (you'll play against hand picked vets called Bounty Hunters who will give you a good game) and then tell me you don't like it!

Bastiaan Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Yeah, Crusty killed me big time, this game is cool, if you look at how the game plays I think it's a bit of an combination between EX-COM and apocalypse, anyway I registered yesterday so if anyone feels for a game let me know.

Tammy Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I hear you're not too shabby at it, too, Bastiaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastiaan Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Shabby? I don't know the meaning of that word but in combination of the sentance I understand you mean I am not bad in it....he is lying Tam .but wanna play a game Tammy, download the game and send your email adress, it's fun.

Bastiaan Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I just downloaded the original Laser Squad, as it's freeware, check the LSN site, they use the name Marsec and there is a weapon called M4000 and the heavy laser. It looks like this is the game that inspired them to make X-COM. Now I have to figure out how the sound works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHawk Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Good luck, and let me know if you get it to work. I eventually triumphed over Sir Bastiaan... Poor luck at the end there. We'll play again in the new year, when you've had some more experience... then we'll see if you can thrash me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastiaan Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 You are not the only one killing me, Doug kicked my ass even worse than you did. But I will train hard my friend and maybe once I will defeat you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHawk Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Train hard and raise your power level... err... right. And if Doug is killing you good... damn, I'm next. Doug! Game on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
