Im probably just getting old, bored, lossing memory but I loved that game. I cant find either of my copies to replay the game. Does anyone have a copy??? Then the next ? will be does anybody remember DOS well enough to make up a bootup disk to recover memory(I recall I had to do this for this and many games of that era lol)
I think I have both of them Gink. I'm sure I have P2 (DOS version not the Win95 version ).
The DOS version of Privateer was on 1.44 3.5s wasn't it?
Novus Ordo Seclorum Knowledge is power... has been since time eternal. Arcane knowledge is thereby ultimate power and can therefore lead to ultimate corruption. Wisdom (and the experience that comes with age) is a serum for corruption. Perhaps that is why there are so many Old Men with Arcane knowledge and so few young ones... Arcane OMO - Circa 2001
Well I found Privateer as a free download and trashed my win98 operating system to get it to work LOL. Found Privateer 2 on ebay. Won the bid so I'll be getting that in a few weeks(comming from Israel). Im hooked on Privateer again. I need to import a few files to get my 1 comp working again. Deleted the files that made FAT32 work I think LOL.
Privateer 2. That was a mixed bag of tricks for me. Personally, I would go for Descent3 over Privateer2. The problem with the sequel was that it froze continually and, like HW:C, it's one patch did not help too well. IF you can find the GOLD addition of Privateer get it! It is worth more game play wise than Privateer2.
Don;t get me wrong P2 was fun - space combat was a blast, but between some bugs and the fact that Descent3 and Freespace 1 and 2 were better... I returned my game years ago. Hopefully you will enjoy it more than I did.
Lol, I saw this topic and had to come in. I have never played PrivateerI, I could never find it, but PrivateerII kept me occupied for countless hours. Although it did freeze often it allowed for so many different situations to pop up out of no where it was very entertaining.
Privateer !!!!!!!!!!!!
