It's a freeware Babylon 5 game. It resulted when Sierra cancelled their 'Into the Fire' game, which resulted in enough pissed-off Fivers that they decided to just get together and make their own game.

BTW Cable-modem surfing with a Bittorrent download going is like driving a Ferrari F550 while towing a boat. You'll get there, just don't expect to be able to go a hundred miles an hour... :teeth:

LOL!

Did I mention how Bittorent works? Basically the bigger your car's engine is, the bigger the boat you're towing. :twisted:

The larger upstream speed you have, you mean.

I wish I could get a reasonable symmetric ADSL connection here, but alas...

Oh fucking yay.

I just got to find out what happens when you run a 210megabyte EXE on a computer with less than 200 megs of RAM.

LAG. Ten fucking minutes of resource-sucking, CPU-melting, program-crashing LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My computer is truly a POS. :evil:

IFH is seriously not designed for older systems. And if you don't have a graphics card at least as new as a GeForce 2 and with good OpenGL support, don't even think about it. Even I can't get the most out of it, because only recent ATI cards can use that 'trueform' feature.

I think I can outdo most all of you. I have a Zenith ZWL-850 (or something like that) "laptop" with the Intel 8088 processor. I also have an Apple IIe, un-enhanced version.

Works great with my GF2MX (think GF2 with TNT2 parts). Funny thing is Quake (which I'm DAMN sure is simpler GFX-wise) doesn't get as fast a framerate.

IFH is amazingly beautiful and easily on par with games costing $70. To think it was made for free is truly amazing.
