Please indulge me...

While we have little else to discuss, I just thought of something. I'm curious about how people found out about Horizon. What drew you here? Did you find out through a web search, or did a friend tell you about it? Or perhaps a link on another site/forum?

If you can't remember precisely I understand. I know a few of us have been here a few months already and may have forgotten. But if you do remember, please tell us.

i'm already looking forward to the day when the forums get crowded, and all the surviving "vanguards" can show-off with their elderly status.
even better would be if all the 0-posters that only registered to see the goodies months ago would be deleted.
none of them will be comming back with their old account, i would bet.

on topic: i found the forum/site with some search engine (not google) by chance.
some term brought up a link to the old forum on page 4 or so of the search engine, and there i was.
nearly no info (only the trailer IIRC) on the site, but some comment of ziamat mentioning star control 2 and some other game i like made me stay.

and btw rob, am i right with the assumption that you hate paradox?
whatever the reasons are, we all can only hope that horizon gets the same care from the developers the paradox games do get from theirs...

I can't remember exactly how I found the forums. It has been sooooooo long.

I have been a member here since 1970, (for real, just check the members list) and a lot has happened in the last 30 years. As a matter of fact, nearly my entire life.

Don't quite remember where I picked Horizon out. Likely it was either a post on the old orionsector.com board or the Galciv board. Don't remember which.

[Sim-Mania]

I was one of many who found this website through a post on Moo3. A Refugee if you will.

[Anguille]

Well i found it by searching on google for "new strategy game" or "new space strategy game"...not sure which one. Shortly after starting to post here (way before 1970 ), i asked Zeimat if i could write about Horizon in other forums as the game was still in early alpha...when he told me i could, i made some posts on various forums (moo3 atari and galciv being a couple of them)...and suddenly i wasn't alone here anymore

I stalked Bard of Prey here. I mean I followed his suggestion to check this out.

[Queeg 500]

Came following a post on ATMOO, probably the post Anguille made.

Post on ATMOO as "The Wagster" but decided to change my name here for some reason. I registered in the early 70's so I can't remember the reasons for the name change exactly...

I think I got a message from the OrionSector... but not sure...

Looking forward to the game though..

i got tired of playing rome:totalwar and went back to nostalga games (Panzer General 2 and moo2). So i browsed the internet for "turn based space games" and found a reference to horizon and the rest is hisory.
