I will apologize if what I said was taken as an insult, that was not my intent. I do remember one shooter when Win 95 was considered the best and that was Terminal Velocity; though I spent more time shooting trees and was usually beat by the "Boss" at the end of each level. Another more recent was LoTR but could not get past the Balrog. Ended up giving the game to a friend. Edit: Whiterabbit, I think I did send a PM, not sure if I did it correctly.

Do games sway younger people to behave in a particular way, or do younger people already have an inclination to behave in such a way - and are also attracted to games depicting violence? Considering I have been playing games since the early 1980s and am now almost 40 years of age - and have never been violent - perhaps I am the exception that breaks the rule. I hear that people who are arrested for illegal street racing also have 'need for speed' on their computers and '2 Fast 2 Furious' in their DVD collections. Obviously that is what pushed them over the edge. Or maybe they were always going to be real life street racers - and the games and movies just 'fit in' with their behaviour and interests. There are many many more people who have the game, and seen the movie on street racing, but prefer to ride a pushbike or walk or use public transport. It was the use of training films that the Twin Towers were destroyed... we should ban training films too - because seeing something on film makes you go out and do it. I've been watching Bruce Willis in Die Hard - so I know how to crash an Office Christmas Party, when it gets taken over by Terrorists. Yippee-ki-yay... If you went to ask 1000 gamers who play the most violent games possible - you would most likely find fairly normal people from all backgrounds with no intentions or history of committing violence against other people. Walk into a psychiatric ward or police lockup and speak to someone who has just committed the most atrocious violent crimes - and you might just find they own a violent movie (one of their favorites) or a computer or console game with violence in it (because computer games are so rare that only a sick killer would play one). They might even admit it was the game that made them 'do it' - or perhaps it was the man who lives in their fridge. Violent games don't make people violent - but lots of people enjoy playing games that have violence (including violent people).

I chose to work as a male nurse (despite the hostility towards male nurses at the time) because I cared and thought I could make a difference because of my own experiences with pain. I believe a primary goal of a nurse apart from ensuring they get adequate care is empathy. And the only way to really empathize with people is to have been there yourself. Having been near death, had several accidents and been hospitalized countless times from the age of 18 months onwards, I was idealy placed to empathize with patients; something I was actually very good at, and because of it was able to ease the suffering of many people I cared for. On a number of occassions I've had patients say to me after only a few days of care that they felt they'd known me all their lives. You're entitled to your opinion, and no apology is necessary as this is a public forum and we're all entitled to an opinion, no matter how different it is to others; however what is unacceaptable is insulting others, even if it's in an apparently innocuous way as you did in your first post.

FYI: I am a female, served during the Vietnam War, and became a psychiatric nurse. I cared about people and always will and yes games do sway the way younger people behave though it's obvious your in denial. Training films are one thing, FPS's are another. And lest you already forgot it was per the use of training films that the Twin Towers were destroyed. It was not my intent to "push buttons" but I will not apologize for expressing my opinion. I have appreciated the gamegiveaway and a few other games posted per this forum and I thank you for the effort put forth to provide that.

Playing Windows Solitaire leads to a gambling addiction in casinos. Sim City led to people becoming irresponsible city planners. And games involving firing weapons lead to killing sprees on space stations behind Uranus. I've played FPS (First Person Shooter) games for years - both offline against the computer, and online against other human players. To say it doesn't take intelligence to play such a game - I would say applies to any game. To play such a game well involves careful visual observation, prediction, listening for audible cues (footsteps, falling objects, weapons reloading), team communication (spoken or otherwise), teamwork and coordination, resource management, tactics and strategy, accurate hand eye coordination, and good 3dimensional spatial skills. And all in real-time (none of this turn based rubbish). ;P Yes, sixtyplus - a little boys domain. pew pew your dead, I shot you. No puzzles, ingenuity or plans. Even the military use such games as simulators as a type of training and to practice scenarios. A commando strike force or SWAT team locating and eliminating a terrorist force that is holding hostages. A commander taking his team of specialist soldiers into the jungle to eliminate a druglords hidden camp. It is fine that you don't like or cannot manage such games - and cannot distinguish between the movie making death or that depicted by computer pixels and real life. But they are different to real death and killing. But just as you are welcome to your choice of game you play or tv you watch or books you read - so are others. Seeing death in real life has never been a prerequisite to seeing death in a game, movie or book. thewebmaster on "Space Shoot ‘Em ups or Shmup’s: A longish list of FREE games" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2724/page/2#post-46513 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 18:16:21 +0000 thewebmaster 46513@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I mostly agree with Whiterabbit.

I doubt many peple who have seen death actually like to (or would)talk about it, as it's a very emotive subject. I wont talk about my experiences only to say you're very wrong. I agree with you about playing games where you have to think, solve and have to use ingenuity, I love them also, but I also love mindless games sometimes as I just want to stare at the monitor and play a mindless game; usually to kill the pain, which mindless games do very well.

Your post is very motivating, but, unfortunately, I cannot receive its benefits. I really don't play em'. Whenever I play a game, I usually play a thoughtful war game, in which bloodshed is not seeable in the computer generated world. For instance, Steel Panthers, doesn't go down to the nitty gritty in killing. In fact, it's more for how to plan a battle, how to think it out, and not KILL, KILL, KILL!. I'll take a game in which one has to think, one has to solve, one has to use ingenuity in which to plan the next move. Steel Panthers; exactly that. It is freeware; I rest my case.

It doesn't take intelligence to play a game in which you shoot first and ask questions later. It's one thing to play a a shooter game in which your up against, e.g. monsters/aliens vs games in which the shooting of people/animals is satisfying and/or acceptable. Lockett, you obviously like blood and gore in your games based on your very descriptive terminology which would make me wonder what your like in real life. And you don't even come close to the quality of Whiterabbits threads, though I have no use for shoot to kill scenerios. Obviously none of you have seen death in real life; I rest my case.

I'm wondering if everyone used boldface for their posts - would normal text become the "new bold"? ;) Usually Bold text is reserved for official GOTD comments that are important (aren't they all?) or to draw attention to a comment from the developer regarding a giveaway. Also WR uses them in headings to break up his reviews (for readability).

The graphics are simpler than a lot of other commercial shooters, but it has an endearing quality about it. I usually avoid posting details of games from MyPlayCity (MPC) due to a bad experience last year. But they seem to have cleaned up their act.

Also with MPC games they always try to install their own toolbar, so make sure you uncheck the little box during installation,(unless you want the toolbar). <a href="http://www.myplaycity.com/galaxy_war/" rel="nofollow">http://www.myplaycity.com/galaxy_war/</a> Whiterabbit-uk on "Space Shoot ‘Em ups or Shmup’s: A longish list of FREE games" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2724#post-44965 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 00:05:53 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 44965@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Yet another good space shooter has been added to the growing stock of free games over at gametop. It's called Stardrone: <blockquote>Hit the throttle and accelerate through the the fantastic world of Stardrone. Mix of arcade action, pinball and breakout, physics and collect-the-objects with just one button control.</blockquote> You can download it via the following page: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-drone/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-drone/</a> Whiterabbit-uk on "Space Shoot ‘Em ups or Shmup’s: A longish list of FREE games" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2724#post-41321 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:20:32 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 41321@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I didn't think I'd be posting more space shooters so soon after posting the freeware games above, but I'd forgotten that Gametop had added several new shooters since I started this thread. I may have repeated a couple of the ones below, but most are new additions to their stock. all are full version commercially available games, though the original names have been chaqnged. They are all free, but as with all Gametop games, you do get your browser opened when you close the game down. Otherwise they are clean: Star Sword: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-sword/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-sword/download.html</a> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Star Gunner: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-gunner/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-gunner/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Star Rage: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-rage/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-rage/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Star Shooter: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-shooter/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/star-shooter/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Galaxy Strike: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/galaxy-strike/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/galaxy-strike/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alien Wars: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/alien-wars/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/alien-wars/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deadly Stars: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/deadly-stars/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/deadly-stars/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Galaxy Invaders: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/invaders/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/invaders/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RIP3: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/rip3/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/rip3/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crimson Road: <a href="http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/crimson-road/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/crimson-road/download.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Absolute Survival: <a href="http://freegamepick.com/en/games_absolutesurvival.html" rel="nofollow">http://freegamepick.com/en/games_absolutesurvival.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forbidden Galaxy: <a href="http://freegamepick.com/en/games_forbiddengalaxy.html" rel="nofollow">http://freegamepick.com/en/games_forbiddengalaxy.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forbidden Galaxy 2: <a href="http://freegamepick.com/en/games_forbiddengalaxy2.html" rel="nofollow">http://freegamepick.com/en/games_forbiddengalaxy2.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Machine World: <a href="http://freegamepick.com/en/games_machineworld.html" rel="nofollow">http://freegamepick.com/en/games_machineworld.html</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
