DieRuhe: Looks cool. Appeals to my love of table-top gaming, miniatures, etc. But from what I've seen it's maybe ten hours long, and for me personally that's not enough to justify a purchase even on sale. That's not a game, it's an intro! :-)
at 10 bucks its a nice price , 19.99 is way too high :D
Game looks good, it seems to be a static game: no 3p or fp walking and scrolling / zooming as far as i could see from the very short video, guess i have to check a decent playthrough on youtube to see more.
Anyway problem is you seem to have to rotate the "board" if games need to be rotated to see whats going on and zoom in and out i usually skip it, also the recomm. is a litte vague: quad core ? what quadcore ? no 2.66 ghz i assume ?:D
and will it run well ( no tiny images) on a 1024x768 screen ? i guess i skip the game for now... maybe later someday at a huge sale i might try it out.
edit: or maybe not:
check:

will stick to good old games , walk left to right and characters will grow smaller to make them look distant and away and will become larger as the come back ( like the secret files 1,2,3 and 4 games( check videos on youtube)
Anyway, still hoping secret files and lost horizon will arrive someday ( which i doubt but one can always hope) , and chronlcles of zerzura. ( developed by the black mirror 2 + 3 team)so i dont get it why that game isnt available here .
Ixamyakxim: Always wanted to play this one - you're talking about the first person squad based game with a large focus on planning right? Where you take a squad of Exterminators into a hulk to fight Genestealers?
karnak1: Exactly! An excellent game. But very damaging for the nerves :P
You played in first-person mode, but you could pause the game and switch to top-down view in order to give orders to your soldiers. But the "pause mode" activated a countdown bar, which kept decreasing. As soon as the bar reached 0, the game turned to real-time and the only way for the bar to refill was to keep playing in real time. While being attacked by swarms of Genestealers.
Between missions your Marines would get stronger and you'd unlock new weapons.
Shame that GOG doesn't have the game here. Must be copyright issues.
Here's the wishlist:
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/space_hulk EDIT: I replayed the game again some weeks ago. It's still very playable even by today's standards. Cool graphics and very claustrophobic atmosphere.
yup, it should be here for all the fans... like so many other classic that arent here ( yet)
problem might be ( besides licence problems) the fact that new games , made today... will run on win7,8 and 10, old games might need some 'work' and that will cost time , maybe lots of time.... so newgames are the future and in 50 years they will be the new good old games, until then its 90% new releases for now.
Anyway, i havent bought many games lately, cause there isnt much i want to and can play on my PC, even with a new pc games wont become better, so good old games are hard to get nowadays .... back to play my good old games backlog :D
