Me and my mates found this game through GateWorld. Were many great threads on GateWorld back in the day! Lots of garbage too. lol
These are the forums for the GateWa.rs family of text-based space-centred PBBGs

I found it on gateworld as well. I was browsing the wallpapers and clicked the link to this game..thought it was wierd. Im like WTH is a text based game?Mathlord wrote:You would often, in the beginning, see one person bring in lots of friends from his school or college or work or whatever. I remember Skyflame had dozens of classmates start playing in 05...I imagine similar things happened for lots of different regions. Only needed a couple people from one country to tell all of their friends about it and lots would join up.
I also found this game through gateworld. There was a forum thread between gatedialer and someone else over what was the best alliance in the game. My curiosity was piqued and had to sign up.
A text game or text-based game is a video game that uses text characters instead of bitmapped or vector graphics. Text-based games were common from 1970 to 1990, but are still used today.jedi~tank wrote:I found it on gateworld as well.

Yeah it was huge over here, Hell i went out and spent $350 on the limited edition 10 season box set of SG1 when it came out. It was a hard find as there was only a limited amount printed/made for australia. I know most of my high school mates are huge fans of it. I still remember the very first ep I watched. There also used to be a lot of aussie players for this game sadly a lot of them have quit.teesdale wrote:here (Australia) stargate had a quite a fair fan base i think... well, enough to be played on prime time TV for 10 years twice a week between the 3 series' anyway...
I started looking a stargate fps that was apparently in the works, my hunt ended here -.-

I came here through someone I knew playing it. She was on another StarGate forum, "Stargate Rebellion" and some guy told her about this game(think his ingame was avenger or vengeance something like that). She started playing around Aug 05, and I started Oct 05. Couple of our RL friends also played, but not seriously and all gone by 07ish.
She is the massive SG fan, (used to have a massive crash on Daniel).. I've only seen snippets of it when she used to watch them (endlessly).
then re-ascention and descention... and maybe even a 3rd ascention, dont quite remember... he's almost got a LG acc thoughSetesh wrote:Daniel's ascension and subsequent descension

I clicked the wrong one and ended up here.
...but seriously, was playing another MMPORG called Nuke Zone, got bored, searched, saw this site, loved the film (never tried the series), tried it out. Been here 8.5 years.
I'm just doing the tv shows now, got to S05E01 yesterday
