Prodigal son
I ask Google if anyone still played DF2 and got a redirect to you.
I played a lot of DF & DF2 about 20 years ago, with the ~XYZ squad and made a few maps.
Today I was going through some old CD’s looking for a music file and ran across my old original DF2 disc (no key code), mixed in with some audio CD’s.
Anyway, I also ran across an old back-up CD full of zipped MIS & BMS map files from sometime around 2001 of maps that I had made and or collected, including some original “Raven” maps.
I can open the CD, folders & sub folders and see that there are 215 BMS files & a few hundred more MIS/ other files.
At any rate, I tried to play it - as I still had a very old install backed up on an old external drive I’ve been dragging around with me for a decade or more.
Although the application exe loaded it did not work well; and the DF2Med editor would not load at all, so I could not open the maps.
For all I know they are all common maps everybody already has.
The zipped files are probably as good as the day they were zipped.
I would love to play again.
So my question is:
Are there still enough people/ servers out there to make it worthwhile scrubbing my hard drives and deleting all the old df2 files; and starting from scratch with a new fully patched install at Steam/ or other.
Thanks
