Darwinia? Defcon?

[Testrie]

Is there anyone here who perfers Darwinia to Defcon?

I'm going to get flamed for this...

*raises hand*

Yo.

[martin]

yeah, me too - however posting this in the darwinia general chat is a *little* unfair.

Darwinia

To be honest, Defcon is probably my least favourite Introversion game. It's not that it's a bad game or anything, just not really my cup of tea.

Why isnt Uplink in the poll?!

[Shwart!!]

I agree, it seems a little biased, where you posted it. In the IV Lounge section might get much better results.

I agee with Darksun, while sharing MP's sentiments. Uplink isn't my favorite IV game, but it is very close.

Of IV's games, Darwinia is my favorite.

I just love saving all them little guys. They look so cute.. and helpless.. and.. oh, uhm.. yes.
*cough*
I'll always support IV, but Defcon wasn't my cup of tea. Its fun and I love the graphics engine (especially the main screen with the pixelated rotating earth - would love to see that on a projector - kinda reminds me of the Deathstar in Star Wars).



Uplink was fun too - but it had me kinda scared at first because I thought I was dialling into a *real* network.

That tension is exactly what makes Uplink so freakin' awesome.

Oh, indeed. However, I found that, once I knew how to hack just about every system, the tension was no longer there. Uplink was a great game, but, for me, it doesn't have the same staying power as Darwinia. I think Uplink is possibly the best game concept that has come out of IV -- exactly because many people thought that they were actually hacking. It just runs out of replayability fast. Of course, Darwinia may have the same problem -- but I found the editor, which cleared that right up :)

Totally dude, totally. I like the feel of it, I just don't find it fun. Oh well, thats what demos are for.

[deltantor]

for me, defcon barely loses to darwinia, defcon is great, and so is darwinia, and uplink too! ohh its so hard to choose....

The lesser of two evils, 'cept the opposite. (The greater of two goods?)

I love 'em both, but I prefer Darwinia. It reminds me of Cannon Fodder. Ah, happy days.

Doesn't work in XP :'(

Ah well. I still got my Megadrive (screw Genesis) sitting by my TV, with a copy of Cannon Fodder in the slot.
