I always wanted to have the Hidden & Dangerous series. It was a relatively unknown game for PC terms, but it has a very dense atmosphere through the clever use of sound effects. There is an updated version with improvements to the engine, and the sequel is coming later this year.

Do you think Hyperion will acquire this license or will you spin off your own video game company to do this?


I am still hoping to do my own games in the future, so if there would be a spin-off company, we'd be doing our own games, not ports ;-) We've got all these ideas and stuff...

Needless to say at the moment we're not going to acquire any licence because we simply don't have the time, but who knows what may happen in the future.

@rogue:

Your comment sparked my interest (never really heard of the game, then again I don't follow it all that closely), but the demo is quite bugged it seems (not to mention some very silly language errors). How's the full game in terms of stability? (Some of the reviews I've flicked through also complained about bugs).


Yeah, the original version was very buggy. Most if not all of them have been resolved in later patches, and the Deluxe Edition (with the improved engine and mission editor) is practically free of it. There are still a few quirks in the AI (meaning that if your team members are computer-controlled, they might occasionally take detours that are hard to explain).

In the earlier versions, you could also easily fall through the floor, resultion in you popping up sky-high and falling to your death. That has been resolved in the meantime.

About the language, yes, I first played the german version and it also had some stupid bugs (sometimes "tank" means tank, not an armoured vehicle :-) ) Also, the german version had all Nazi symbols removed (displaying those is prohibited in Germany), and enemies killed turned into backpacks instead of corpses. The new version can switch to english language...

Other than that, the game is great, especially in multiplayer. The use of sound effects makes for a very good moody game

My computer has 2 case fans, + 1 on the CPU, + 1 on the graphics card, and then the 56x CD-Rom, which you can't turn off during a game because you can't copy those files over to the HD (or is it copy protection?) I'm going deaf. :-(


I know what you mean. My PC also has one of these cheap cases that start to vibrate. Sometimes drives you nuts. Now imagine how bad things could be if you had a GeforceFX :-)

I hope A1 will improve this situation??


It certainly does. At one time I was playing a game on the PC when I suddenly noticed that I had left it on. The G3 version can theoretically run without active cooler. A graphics card can be equipped with a heatpipe cooler. That would only leave the harddrive and PSU, But both are louder than the cooler on my G4, anyway...

P.S. RPGs, RPGs, RPGs, RPGs...


Yeah, Neverwinter Nights would be a cool addition :-) And of course the best RPG of all times, Baldur's Gate and sequels/addons.

Every played the Baldur's Gate series? *That* is what I call an RPG :-)

(Besides, Eye of the Beholder is available as a module for Neverwinter Nights ;-) )
