    Tortuga 2 screenies and trailer

    Stronghold 2 is out !

    Well, I went and bought it. Hopefully there'll be some more patches soon, as there's some problems with it. Still darn fun though. I run it on two machines at home, neither of which will be useful in determining why it's running slow on most machines though. One's a P4 3.0Ghz, 1 gig of dual...

    New Pirate Game from Ascaron called Tortuga in early 2005!

    Tortuga, also known as Pirate Hunter, was released by Ascaron in 2004, I'm pretty sure. It featured single ship combat, practically no trading, and to me at least got real boring real fast. The posts above this are about a new game by Ascaron that will also be named Tortuga (why I don't know)...

    New Game Life of a Pirate

    Looks interesting, can't wait to see how it turns out.

    Stronghold

    Wow, 2005 is (hopefully) shaping up to be a good year for games I like. Age of Empires III, Stronghold 2, several pirate/trading games from Akella and Ascaron.... I can hardly wait <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"...

    Flat Out

    OK, it's a silly driving game, I got it for my kids for Christmas. Now I can't stop playing `it-it`'s hilarious. You drive in races or in funny competitions and get money not only for winning but also for destroying parts of the `track-fences`, signs, etc. Pieces and parts of your car get bent...

    Stronghold

    I have Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader, and love them `both-waaay` too many hours put into those two games <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> They're making a Stronghold 2...

    New Pirate Game from Ascaron called Tortuga in early 2005!

    Wow, those graphics look pretty `sharp-hopefully` there'll be a way to turn down some of the options to allow the game to run decently on lower to mid range systems. The water and the reflections on the water look really good. With water that looks that good, I wonder if there'll be weather such...

    New Pirate Game from Ascaron called Tortuga in early 2005!

    Wow, didn't know word about this had gotten out yet. Unfortunately I have no inside information about it other than it's being made, though I'll try to have one of the Ascaroonies spill some info about it in English.

    Revolt

    Me and my kids play a lot of `ReVolt-hilarious` game in single or multiplayer. There's a few sites where you can download a lot of new tracks and tons of new cars, though most of the cars tend to be cheesy 'give it super speed and handling no matter what body style' things, there's still some...

    No Gore!? Why not the favored "Minor Menu"?

    I don't think gore would fit into the graphical style of Pirates! 2 very well. As for violence in the media being related to violence in real life, `puh-leaze`. I grew up watching Wile E Coyote and the Road Runner, and I have yet to throw anyone off a cliff.

    Why in god's name no Multiplayer!?

    I'm curious, what would the multiplayer mode actually be like? Player vs player would get very boring very quickly, I think. Coop could be interesting, but that would depend on the goals that you need to accomplish in the game. Just wondering exactly what form of multiplayer there would be?

    For Diablo II fans, there's Sacred

    It's got a lot in common with Diablo II, but a lot of things different as well. There's still some bugs in it, few if any gamestoppers, but some annoying bugs that Ascaron's fixing. There's a lot more strategy than in Diablo II, and in my opinion, the game is worth buying just for the HUMOR in...

    USS Constitution by Muddymonkey

    Here's a site that has a ton of pictures of a...umm what do you call these? Model isn't exactly the right word, replica? I guess, would be better, ship being built. http://www.jeffporter.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/sjn/ The replica in that site is a kit from Artesania Latina, and the kits are...

    For Diablo II fans, there's Sacred

    Well I've played the `demo-several` times `now-and` I must say it's every bit as good as Diablo and then some. Lots of things you wanted in Diablo are standard in Sacred. Like modifying `equipment-there` are sockets in a lot of the items, and you can put a lot of things in them. Find a nice...
