PUPPY GAMES needs YOUR GAME

Well, it’s a bloody good thing that GL drivers are usually under 8MB and not owned by M$ then isn’t it?

Nearly got my own version of GLSetup working. I’ll let you know when it’s ready…

Well… they’re getting there. Latest nVidia are ~8.5Mb, and if you want the international ones its a whopping 18.9Mb. :o :o

the all-in-one driver had it’s advantages, eg. it’s damn easy to tell nVidea users (no matter how inept) where to get their drivers.

Also nice to know my old GeForce will still be supported (kinda)

Will.

hate to drag this up, but…

I’d be very interested in that… I’ve been playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on the Gameboy and am completely addicted. Best new game genre I’ve played in awhile. THAT might be a game I’d be interested in buying. In fact, I’ve been enjoying it so much that I was considering going that route when I started my own game. Any idea who was working on it?

Strategy RPG's aren't exactly a "new" genre. They borrow pretty heavily from other strategy games (see Advance Wars and then go from there). Go grab the original FF Tactics (like, $10 at used game store, $20 new at BestBuy or Walmart if you have those around). It's pretty good. Then go find the Tactics Ogre (for the PSX and SNES), same developers as FF Tactics (Square bought them out from ENIX, I believe), but twice as deep. That little pittance of a "hidden" dungeon in FF Tactics is like 100 levels deep in Tactics Ogre. Then you should check out others in the Ogre Battle series (SNES, PSX, rare on both), they're a bit different, but still have strategy elements. Also, you'll probably like: PSX: Vandal Hearts 1 & 2

PS2:
Disgaea

Saturn:
Shining Force III
Dragon Force

SNES:
find the Front Mission import, it’s supposed to be good. I dug the import FM2 on the PSX, but the damn cutscenes just took forever and were non-cancellable from what I could see. FM3, localized USA, I heard terrible things about. Just terrible.

And go pick up Tactics Ogre: The Knights of the Lodis for the GBA, as well.

Now, having said that, yes, I’d much appreciate a FF Tactics or even Advance Wars clone. In fact, I’ve got some ideas for both of those on the backburner in case no one else does em. With turn-based games, it should also be relatively easy to do multiplayer online play!
