I used to play this gamer where u were in a spaceship and you had to shoot at another spaceship by typing in x,y numbers and you'd shoot a "photon torpedo" and it'd be affected by planets gravity and black holes and stuff, and you had to eventually hit the other ship...first one to do so wins.

I played this game on tthe Amiga a LONG time ago, but can't remember it's name. Also is there a pc version?

Maybe Captive by UBI soft? I don't think it was in B&W on the Amiga though...

Since there seems to be a couple of Amiga users here, does anyone remember a Infogrames game (also taking place in jail) where u did different jobs for each mission, like feeding prisoners, peeling potatoes, keeping prisoners sleeping etc :) It was a pretty cuteish game, like North&South.

Something like it is Scorched Earth. But it's not what you're talking about (not in space).

But if you like those kind of games, I strongly suggest you take a look at Scorched 3D.

http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/

Scorched Earth is on land and mountains. there is an alternate site - www.scorched2000.com, you can play others on the internet via Java.

argg....I remember that game cuz my mom bought it for me. I didn't really like it and stopped playing after like 2 or 3 times. I can't remember it's name for the life of me...I seem to be horrible with names...of course I've always known this...

One for all the amiga fans. I'm sure there are many people who wasted most of the childhood playing this game, now you can waste even more as it's now abandonware.

you're right...I did watse many hours playing that game...

the graphics also remind me of another great sport game: Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2...the first wasn't all that great, 2 was AMAZING!

    • Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains

      We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.

      Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.

    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
