NO DAMMIT DON"T SHOW ME HOMEWORLD!!!

Love that game , oh why why did it die.

The game which ultimately took near all gaming rewards in 1999:

Homeworld was given high marks by most of the gaming community, and earned numerous awards, including both PC Gamer's and IGN's game of the year award for 1999. The game was praised for its eye-catching, movie-like graphics engine, large battles, appropriate soundtrack, compelling storyline, and revolutionary 3D interface.

15 years ago... the modding community is still going strong.

I re-installed and played it about a year ago for old times sake. Still an awesome game. I modded the game to remove the capital ship limits so that I could build an army of destroyers. Think I finished off with about 30 destroyers at the end.

In those days not "that" many games supported Glide, would love to see Mantle API support. Wing Commander: Prophecy looked like an absolute dream with Glide.

I miss my Voodoo cards

Does Homeworld run on Windows 7? I still have the collectors box.

Buddy of mine also had a Savage (can't remember which model exactly). When playing Warcraft 3 it only rendered the cloaks and guns of the riflemen, or only the sword, shield and helmet of the footmen. Had a ghost army.
