Although another seven years later the game is still nowhere near ready, the team of four seems to be persistent in pursuing their vision . I'm not sure if this is still passionate or just crazy.

Thanks vooDoo,

and sorry for missing out your name in the mentions above. Added yours too.  You have been such an essential help over the years and yet my brain forgot a few names. Really enjoyed discussing and shaping the *DBL with you too.

I recently played some super old school Rainbow Six single player and it was still kinda fun seeing the early steps of tactical gaming. Would love to have the chance to play an afternoon of R6 or RS just for the sake of it including some Mauti map mods of course ;-)

Last but not least I also would like to remind you all of my offer from previous years. If you ever gonna make it to Vienna, Austria, once all this COVID19 madness is over,  give me a call or send me a mail, and I'll show you around and invite you to some drinks. Would love to meet you.

All the best,

Mauti

wow...kinda weird I choose today to visit.  Happy Birthday DAMN and congrats Mauti for starting something so long that  so many people were so passionate about.  We were all Mac users that liked to game and this was our hangout.   Cant believe its been 20 years since playing Rainbow Six and Rouge Spear.

Hope everyone is staying safe.

Today, 20 years ago, *DAMN was founded.

Wow. Just wow. Were did all the time go?

It has been an incredible ride for so many years until we all grew older and Intel Macs made tactical shooters on Mac non existent. After Raven Shield no more tactical games appeared. And Call of Duty 4 was the last major FPS release for Mac.

Although it all came to an end there are so many fond memories thanks to you. Building one of on the first eSports leagues together with you, the *DAMN Battle League. Special thanks to all the hard PHP work from *DAMN Elandrion. Working on tons of mods for and with you like the epic Island Thunder community conversion. *DAMN Cronberg's AppleScript tool to speed up PC - Mac conversions , thousands of forum discussions. It was a awesome and wonderful time. That of course was also a lot of hard work to maintain and would have been impossible without the dedication of our epic forum and *DBL admin team of up to 30 people. You know who you are BFG, Civic, GhostSniper, Lynx, mesa, Mysterio,  Monoman, Cookie, Lone-Wolf, Hazard, Phara, vooDoo, Tigah, Grifter(RIP), Flies (RIP) and all others that have helped over the years. Thank you so much!

What a pity that we couldn't easily record and share Let's plays of *DAMN Battle League games back then. I would have loved to create a short anniversary movie with a best of and rewatch some epic clanbattles.

Happy birthday *DAMN and all the best to you, who were part of it for so many years.

Cheers ,

*DAMN Mauti

Sure thing Nuke! Great to see you. How are you doing? Still playing any games?

Coming here for memories Can't believe my login still works 

19!!!

Hey vooDoo!

Great to hear from you.

Yes GameRanger is still a thing if you need to play some multiplayer on old PC games that used GameSpy(defunct since a few years) back in the days.

Haha Rapid, omg don't remind me :-)

Great times with everyone of you and yes check Squad out although of course nothing can bring back the spirit from the very early online games.

Much love and all the best,

Mauti
ps.:if you are ever should visit Vienna give me a call. Beer is on me.
pps.: this invitation of course counts to all my old school buddies

Just swinging through to say hello.  Any old schoolers still around. 

Gameranger still a thing?

Sup Mauti, see your playing Squad.  Ill have to check it out

Was just reading some of the older posts, nearly 20 years now....lol, so much drama.

Much love to my buddies...eight and rapid and all the other haters.

I recently played a few single player missions and it was quite fun. Unfortunately I didn't get it to connect to any multiplayer service when I tried it with Elandrion. Even via GameRanger it failed. I think it has something to do with my router setup (damn issues from the past haunting me). But I would be up for some RvS old school action.

Beside that I play some Siege from time to time with Elandrion. Especially good old terrorist hunt. Personally I prefer Squad (see my post above) the most at the moment. Really tactical and lots of team work to get something going. Really enjoy it.
