Edit: No, wait! Terminal Velocity.
YEEEEEEEEEEES. And Fury3, which had epic, epic intro music.
Those came before Hellbender, same engine. Didn't play Hellbender.
Epic intry mosuc, perhaps. Did it also have kick-ass in-game music?
Among many games I've played these is one whose OST I've stumbled over again, re-visited a few old favorite sound-tracks.
This one,
this and
this, to name only 3 of these gems.
I'm happy to own the game still, perfect condition after all these years
As for EVE... (Be warned, I might have told some of you this before.)
I recall our first major victory. We were a pack of noobs, and while we wanted to be industrialized anti-pirates and do some 'constructive' work instead of joining the legions of pirates that plagued our local areas of Bosboger, Olfeim and Amamake (much like today, though I kind of miss the activety in Olfeim) our record was never anything buy 'trying, but failing... so far.'
This changed one day. Having installed ourselves as the guardians of Olfeim at the time and keeping a watchfull eye on the local miners (loads of noobs mined the low-sec belts those days) we were faced with a pirate, coming to 'our' backyard seeking to kill some local guy for some past transgression or whatever. He would also, he claimed, kill anyone that tried to stop him.
This of course, we took very seriously. Soon a member of our sorry outfit, one insane Amarrian woman and ex-Bobbit (this was long before I started to dis-like BoB as a responce when they delved into the degree of idiocy they did later) had played his ego about, having him convinced she would personally oversee the 1vs1 fight between the pirate and his opponent and help kill anyone that intervened.
It was - obviously - a trap. Sure as hell he opened fire first and got himself nicely tackled. However, before we can land all of local besides himself on him and get him, he works himself out of scrambling range and warp out. A nice man-hunt ensues and we catch him by a planet. His maller and pod is soon downed, and we are ofc in high spirits.
Until the next day when we pull 3 destroyers out of a belt because he has returned in an Interceptor. Noobs as we are, we know T2 is superior but not exactly what an interceptor is. A non-corp retriever dies and he gloats. The next day he declares war.
That's a story for another day.
