D.F. A great start and then quiet.
I miss the feelings I had when I first installed DF on my 486 computer. It was simple, fun and entertaining. Run gun and shoot. After Black Hawk Down. Its last great hurrah and higher on the excitement meter then the others,the series ended, I dont consider DF extreme as nothing but an attempt to milk the dry udders of a game that could have and should have evolved. The last Comanche game proved that the could still put out some great FPS, and should have continued. The company has been around since 1985 and to my best knowledge is still in business, but not the gaming business. DF2 was followed up by the even better DF2.
Get the 1s and 2d DF games and Black Hawk Down and have some lazy fun on Sunday afternoon.
As to where they are today. Novalogic Aquired by THQ-Nordic games which seem to be collectors of old sofware of other companies.
Go to this entry and scroll down and see how many games of so many companies we remember are now in their possession. EA and one or two other companies swallowed most of our independent game companies, you remember, the ones you called for support and likely as not could talk to the developer/owner him/her self. It was so familial and personable in the old days when need to troubleshoot an issue. Boy do I miss Maxis, Will Wright and the Toys as he called his releases, the Sim Games. I cried when EA bought them out. I dont deal well with change to whats not broken.
