Hover

 

[XMonkey]

Oh wow, I actually remember playing this a really, really long time ago

 

[Grug]

Don't forget the Fury 3 demo!

For the record, what was the difference between Fury 3 and Terminal Velocity?

 

[BlueTsunami]

wow...I remember playing this game also...

 

[BenT]

For the record, what was the difference between Fury 3 and Terminal Velocity?

I always assumed at least a little of the content had to be different, but I dunno. Maybe Fury 3 didn't run in DOS like TV did.

 

[Blimblim]

WinG for the win?
What an horrible hack the API was, yuk.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Damn, I played that a lot.
Until I got a real game for my PC (Tie Fighter, woo!)

 

[Temujin]

Ha, I remember that. Only played it like, 5 minutes before getting bored.

Terminal velocity was cool. Although I think TV and Fatal Racing were my first 2 PC games, maybe that's why I was so impressed with them

 

[BudokaiMR2]

God that game sucked....but I played the hell out of it back in the day.

 

[Animal]

Wow my brain almost stalled and crashed looking at that picture!!!
Talk about nostalgia!!!

And I thought I was the only one in the world who loved Terminal Velocity!!!!

 

[Blimblim]

And I thought I was the only one in the world who loved Terminal Velocity!!!!

Terminal Velocity was awesome for its time. Great game!
I remember playing this with friends using a null-modem cable, great times. Terminal Reality was a great developer before the 3D accelerator arrived, now they certainly do not stand out anymore.

 

[GXAlan]

I think Fury brought Direct3D support.

 

[Matlock]

Thanks. Now all we need is a link to skifree and this becomes the sexiest retro gaming thread ever.

I gave my old Win95 computer to my grandparents, and my grandfather became a Hover addict.

Hover appeals to all ages, making it one of the best crummy freeware PC games of all time.

 

[Stench]

I was a big fan of Hellbender, myself...

Man, what a great thread.

 

[Fatalah]

I loved Fury.

 

[Mr Mike]

LOVED Hellbender.

And Gillian Anderson did the voice of the computer.

It didn't get much better than that.

 

[Matlock]

Thanks, Blimster! What's this Hellbender I'm hearing about?

 

[DopeyFish]

Thanks, Blimster! What's this Hellbender I'm hearing about?

its another fury 3 / terminal velocity type game

I'll tell you if you tell me what the deal with that #$#% cat in your avatar is.

For me, it was all about Jezzball.

 

[xir]

For me, it was all about Jezzball.

yeah, but jezzball was good...

 

[DopeyFish]

i still have jezzball

jezzball = god

 

[GXAlan]

its another fury 3 / terminal velocity type game

Yeah, all three games were by the same developer. Actually, now that I think about it, Hellbender was probably the one to get the Direct3D treatment.

Nothing will beat MechWarrior 2 with hardware accelerated graphics though.

 

[Jagwire1141]

That and Descent FTW. BTW, has anyone ever heard of a game called Cyberia? And if so, how do you beat it?

 

[Diablos]

Jezzball is indeed awesome.

Wow... I do not remember Hover looking that crappy. :\

Descent was EXCELLENT!

 

[FlameOfCallandor]

Never even heard of this game.

 

[GaimeGuy]

god damn is there a site with all of these oldschool games for download for free?

 

[nitewulf]

loved fury and hellbender. i think hellbender was a sequel to fury 3 basically. man those were awesome times.
fury was basically a souped up terminal velocity. higher res, gillian anderson as the computer etc.
i remember the first time i booted up the game, and as the voice started "ambient temperature xx degree celcius, all systems normal..." i was like "WHOAAAAAA"

 

[Raw64life]

Played this game a shitload. Same with jezzball.

 

[jgkspsx]

Ah, Hover. What a long time ago that was.

P.S. Microsoft sure does have a way with technology names... "wince", "whinge" ...

 

[Xdrive05]

Hover was one of those games that gave me that "wonder" of 3d gaming when I was a kid, as it was the first 3d game I ever played. It was one of those "OMG this is deep" moments as a gamer.


Now looking back...... :lol :lol :lol

It is quite the turd.

I played Hover, Terminal Velocity, and Microsoft 3D Movie Maker on my dad's Acer Aspire Win95 computer.

 

[Drakken]

I used to play Hover, the Fury 3 demo, MechWarrior 2, and Havoc demo all the time. I had that Windows 95 disc with all the demos on it. Fire & Ice was another one I recall. Had a Doom '95 demo as well.

Oh man, those were the days...

 

[PolyGone]

my eyes, my eyes, the goggles do nothing

 

[BenT]

BTW, has anyone ever heard of a game called Cyberia? And if so, how do you beat it?

If that's the on-rails FMV "shooter" that I seem to recall, then you win by not playing it.

 

[Alex Anderson]

I thought I remembered it looking better than THAT

 

[Mr Mike]

When I was a kid - well, 16 - I somehow got onto the beta for Hellbender, applied through a webpage. MS sent me a copy, and after three months it made it to my home in the UK, having made its way via sea mail :lol

 

[Aurora]

Holy crap. Brings back a lot of memories.
