  Bioware seems to always churn out really great products--I'm fond of them.  Origin was also great back when it was still around.   ;  Rareware [grin] ...I am a rare fanboy   ;Quote:Original post by mhamlinBioware seems to always churn out really great products--I'm fond of them.

It wasn't realistic, but the story combined with intense aerial dogfights and rather well done, for the time, environ made it quite enjoyable.   ;Quote:Original post by tychonQuote:Original post by mhamlinBioware seems to always churn out really great products--I'm fond of them.

Great games, both.   ;  oh. i have another questions that the bioware website made me think about:is there any way to buy or get the game engine(s) that game companies use to make there games?   ;Quote:Original post by enjoi5o50is there any way to buy or get the game engine(s) that game companies use to make there games?Only if they license them out, or if their games are based off of a pre-existing engine that was licensed (Renderware, Unreal Engine, Quake engine, etc).And I miss Origin so very much. Ultima Underworld and System Shock and Crusader. Come back, all of you! RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!   ;Quote:Original post by RavuyaQuote:Original post by enjoi5o50is there any way to buy or get the game engine(s) that game companies use to make there games?Only if they license them out, or if their games are based off of a pre-existing engine that was licensed (Renderware, Unreal Engine, Quake engine, etc).And I miss Origin so very much.
