Starseige Tribes was massive and ridiculously fun on a 56k connection.
- robertlagrant 2y agoTribes was brilliant. Skiing down procedural terrain (and watching other people ski up it), big maps, lots of players, in 1999.
- nickpeterson 2y agoTribes was an absolute riot. Teams keep trying to make new versions but none feel like they capture the pure magic of the original.
- hdjrldbrhrh 2y agoThe original is out there and free now. Though the community is gone :(
- ItsBob 2y agoQuite possibly my favourite game growing up (especially Tribes 2!) In fact, I downloaded Tribes 2 a while back and was playing against bots just a few months ago. The game is dated but it was still fun... in fact, I've often thought of trying to remake it in Unity or something! Maybe one day.
- cannonpr 2y agoI never liked tribes 2 being a tribes 1 addict. The jet sliding in 1 was a happy accident and the developers lost the original physics code that resulted in the sliding being a controllable skill. Tribes 2 had an utterly different movement sensation and a “press button to glide” mechanic that just killed the game for me.
