@mdstevens0612@mas.to BRING BACK STARSEIGE TRIBES That's it when I get back back home Im looking that up. I used to host a 20 person Tribes server on a P2 or P3 with 64 MB of RAM on a home broadband connection (albeit a really good one). The server app was a different executable that ran in headless console mode with a little graphical admin app. Quite simple and elegant really, even to add in mods.

    @tezoatlipoca@mas.to @mdstevens0612@mas.to tribes and UT2k4 are still two of my favorite FPS games ever, both had such amazing movement that absolutely NO multiplayer FPS has even come close to since. In tribes once you could master efficiently boosting and landing on slopes to maintain speed (skiing!) you could just move incredibly fast.

    @tezoatlipoca@mas.to @mdstevens0612@mas.to Tribes was available officially for free download for quite some time. Occasionally I fire it up just to hear the Spinfusor. Website seems to be down now, but - https://web.archive.org/web/20230909211816/https://www.tribesuniverse.com/ Playing with construction mods or just a round of TAC (instagib if you touch the ground) was good fun.

    @tezoatlipoca@mas.to holy crap! Yes 😍😍😍 Tribes was so fun, and ahead of its time, I think.
