Combat Instinct: Unregulated

Postby dreyone » Sat 14 Feb, 2015 07:20

Since this is a space-themed game, I figured I would post this here.

A long time ago, back in the late 1990s, early 2000s, back when Flash was just starting to become popular, there was a website called Newgrounds which was basically a portal for user-created flash animations and games. Back in those days, most games and animations were very primitive. Then one day, some guy from the Netherlands named McFretN showed up and released a game he had made called "Combat Instinct". If you check it out today, it will seem rather primitive by today's standards, but when this game first came out it really set a new standard for flash gaming.

He later released 2 sequels to the game before disappearing for several years. Then, in 2006(?) he re-appeared to release his final animation, which takes place in the distant future of the Combat Instinct universe. Unfortunately, nobody has seen or heard anything from McFretN since. The following is a re-post of the animation on youtube. This is one of the most awesome space combat sequences I've ever seen done in Flash, and it's all the more impressive considering this was all made by one guy. I also strongly recommend checking out his earlier flash games Combat Instinct 1, 2 and 3. They were really awesome for their day, and I still enjoy playing them now.

So without further a due, here is the video, along with a brief description of the back-story:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NY2n2SJYGg

"Years have passed since the last invasion of planet Hivez; Years of thriving economy and colonial expansion. This would enable countless options and freedom for the ambitious if there was no strict military supervision to put any project on hold that are even remotely threatening to the welfare of the Hivezian empire.

A Cruiser class vessel of the Hivezian military suffered a main engine malfuction while it was on patrol. It drifted off its course into a suspicious looking nebula where a shocking event was unveiled. A hidden research laboratory owned by Altyre Incorporated (An innovating company specialised in propulsion) is performing illegal weapons tests. A fighter squadron of mercenaries is launched on sight to eliminate the witnessing vessel. The Cruiser is specifically designed to fight small agile ships, but without the main engines, things will get very complicated. The crew on the cruiser cannot inform central command because the nebula is riddled with electromagnetic storms making all communication to outside nearly impossible. Because of this, anything goes. This area is completely unregulated. Will they escape to report their discovery, or will they take the secret into their grave?"

I'm a dreidel.

Listening to this right now, it's pretty good:

Timo Tolkki's Avalon - The Land Of New Hope

Maybe not as good as the best of Nightwish, Epica, Blind Guardian etc. but still definitely enjoyable.

Ever tried Apocalyptica? Similar to Epica, but without the singing. The only Epica I ever really enjoyed were the exclusively instrumental songs.

Apocalyptica's good, but they get a bit stale after a while.

No you can't have "your own threads".
You can use this one for its intended purpose, but not for other things. This is a game forum not a random hosting space.

Ooh looky... Forum Rules ... read them!
