Mattias, Mattias, Mattias....

I remember him telling me about Intel's latest development, neglecting the fact that I live a half hour north of Intel, and did some contract work there years ago.

...

Yeah, well... I'm kind of cheap like that. But think about it, how many people do you know fall insanely in love with three films from a country they hate? That guy was crazy. Maybe still is.

Matias. I suppose that I may have had a little different take on him only in that I respected his coding skills and I suppose I enjoyed the sparring. But I can say that it appears today that I see a t ...

Looks like I am heading to New York City. (p.s. Sorry for hijacking the thread.)
Don't worry about the hijack. I actually got fired the Friday before last. It's a long story, but it involves me dis ...

Return to Bespin (I Think that was the one) First add on level I played and then I was hooked
Dark Tide 1 and 2, still haven't played the new ones.
Prelude to Harkovs Defection. Brilliant!
Return t ...

What's the difference?

Condition Red and Mt. Kurek, wow, I'd almost forgotten about those.

It took me many tries to get through Condition Red. Almost as many for me as TIE Defender Base.

Yeah, very cool. I played through the same demo last month. Very much expanded from the original maps.

Ohhh... that one. Yeah, I began playing that map right before I got into another game. Cool map. Smile

Those are good ones.

Another one I like is Tim Smulder's Icebase map. It's a huge map with a few custom BMP.

And I totally forgot about DonDF42. Isn't that the one where you fight in an Aren ...

Yeah, I'm "old skool" Smile

Which one is Dark Tide. I vaguely remember that map.

Alexi was just a regular guy with lots of smarts. A talented young dude who liked Star Wars, computers and gaming. A decent individual. And, one who actually completed and continued to work on the ...

Your favorite levels. What are they? Why?

I'll start with some old ones;
1) The Lahara Hotel
2) TIE Defender Base
3) DF96
4) The Cloak

I like them because they're challenging, and tell a g ...

I agree. Mattias' restrictive distribution of CDark is proof enough that he was never really interested in contributing to the Dark Forces community, and with an alternative on the horizon, why worry ...

Am I the only person who actually got along with Mattias? He used to say some strange things, but I don't think he was a bad person. Maybe its because I'm not from the evil U.S. he never really pissed ...

Wow...good times. I'm actually the author of the post quoted in the first post of this thread. I used to go by the screen name Void ZoSo here, and went through a lot of aliases on Massassi (...kept ge ...

Very cool.

Heh, well, his photo's still on his ICQ page for anyone so inclined... Wink

And I'm breaking my promise not to post on this topic again Razz

I'm still baffled by his "American is Evil, ...

Yeah, I know how to pick em Wink

One of my favorite DF level authors/makers was Tim Smulders. I think he made "Return to Hoth" or "Icebase". It was a snow level that had l ...

Heya Jackson. Yes, your name does ring a few bells. Wink

My how the years have flown by.

My first encounter with DF addons was... oh, let's see here... maybe close to a year after the game ca ...

Yeah, it was Ackbar's homepage that had all the WAX and LFD files posted, along with all the levels.

I must've spent an aggregate of a couple weeks DLing levels from that site with my old 33.6kbp ...

I can't recall when I first signed up for this site. I think it was about the time Hoerby came out with this trilogy. I kept trying to retrieve my old accounts a few years back, but they'd been inac ...

An example of Mattias'es articulation for those who don't recall him;

Space Goat, oh my. A reunion of sorts. You probably don't remember me (not very well I'm guessing). My old handle, Blue Ghost, bespoke of a former 20-something DF level enthusiast who used to post ...

Very cool. I was looking forward to playing DF96 and the Lahara hotel fully accelerated years back. Now it looks like that's going to be a reality. I can't wait.

That's the thing I never really understood. Star Wars is appreciated by people all over the world. But it's a distinctly American creation, as is DOOM, PCs and Dark Forces. Again, it's not such a b ...

Yeah, that guy was a piece of work. I remember either Jon or Gonk really capping on Mattias when he blew his temper (again) about Dark 3D and "dumb Americans". Jon said something like &quo ...

I've gone after a very-long hiatus. Several years.

I don't think I've seen the new project. I did play a Jedi Outcast version of Dark Forces a couple months back. The guys who worked on that rea ...

Yeah, I remember exchanging thought with him on the old DarkJedi BBS. The guy used to blow his stack there, and complain about all Americans were idiots. Then he made a threat to shut down computers ...

I don't play DF much. Occasionally I come across th ...
