Please step off Iowa's nuts, Epi.

zetta, this is off the offcial VIE website

System Requirements

Minimum system requirements - 50 MHz 486 DX2 or better IBM-compatible PC with Windows '95/NT 4.0 installed, 8 MB RAM, 32-bit connection to the internet.

Recommended system requirements - 90 MHz Pentium or better IBM-compatiible PC with Windows 95/NT 4.0 installed, 16 MB RAM, 2 MB PCI (or VLB) video card, 33.6kbaud modem, Windows 95 compatible Sound Card.



thats for subspace, it clearly says windows 95 or NT. I highly doubt you played this on 3.x, because if you did I would love to hear how you got the game to be scripted correctly to work with the DirectX since their were no driver support for 3.x

whatever.

Of the people I know who were there back then, the oldest guy I still see around is probably Mixman who pops in from time to time and sometimes in Trench Wars

I'm not positive, but I might actually be the oldest SS player around in TW. Unless this guy or someone else started during the closed beta. Maybe Jeansi has me beat out.

I've played subspace more in the 6 months I've known about it than the veterans have in all several years. So there.

Wrong.

Jeff Peterson programmed the game with his friend Rod Humble who worked at VIE and developed it with Jeff. Juan (forget the last name) developed the graphics for Subspace.

The beta test started on March 1996. Although I wasn't there, enough people who WERE there at the time have confirmed this as the true date so that I'm sure it's true. Considering Sniper was developed using DirectX for Windows 95, there is absolutely no way this game has been in existance for more than 9 years, the amount of time Windows 95 has been around.

Back then the ships were mostly the same (although still slight differences) and very similar settings to those can still be found in all zones designated "SVS" (Standard VIE Settings), such as SVS Warzone and SVS Chaos Zone.

Oh and I haven't been around since the beginning but getting ready for my 7th anniversary very soon! So scary.

that makes you sad, not cool.

[Adman]

if you put the time you wasted playing this game into, SCHOOL/WORK/SOCIAL, you'd probably have a nice life

after 3000 hours of this game, it's just fucked.

duh.
you really think?
i was in the closed beta. before it was 'first out'.

[Zeta_burn]

and you guys, i am pretty sure, i played when i was 8. i am now 17. well, i guess i had a memory lapse or warped into a future me....

[K2Grey]

I played since summer 1996 I think. Before the Lancaster came out and after the Weasel.

Mixman still plays?! I know he's squadjoined to B.I.A. so he must have been in SS sometime in the last 4 years or smth, but I thought he had quit or something ;0
