Hey, where do the Mission Force Cyberstorm from Sierra addict's hangout
I'd have expected here but I aint seen any posts recently. I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
Thanks.

I would totally be into that! I have the new patched version, but it made the last mission impossible. MY derms keep getting cut down in demons.

Wow, MissionForce Cyberstorm. There's a game I haven't even thought
about in years. I wasn't a huge fan of the game but I loved the
setting, and it's hard to resist any game that has battlemechs (sorry,
sorry, "Hercs"), even if they are only presented in a top-down
gods-eye view. I seem to remember the missions could be absolutely
ruthless in their difficulty, which tempered my enjoyment of the game.
I very vaguely remember playing the game online and being disappointed
by how unfriendly the other players were, though that may just have
been my personal experience and not necessarily an inditement of of
the community as a whole.
Sadly, a quick search that neither GOG nor Steam have the game
available for sale. Shame, that; given the game's age, relative
obscurity (slower-paced and more difficult to learn, it was
overshadowed by games like Command & Conquer and Warcraft) and the
current difficulty to acquire a legal copy, I doubt we'll see a
resurgence of interest in the title anytime soon. I still have the
game on CD-ROM, but I'll be arsed if I have to reach over and install
a game from disc these days (not to mention, I've no idea if the game
would even install and run on a modern system).
Incidentally, you were responding to a 21 year post. Sadly, cop.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic is rather dead these days; you might
find better luck discussing the game in cop.sys.ibm.pc.games.action
(which, despite it's name, has become a rather catch-all newsgroup for
/all/ PC games).
