Goodbye Ghost Recon!
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 5:13 am
Well...There comes a time with every game that you have to move on.
To be fair, 'Ghost Recon' on my Mac had an exceptionally long life. I probably played it longer than any other game I have ever owned for my computer.
But, things have moved on. I now use a PC for my computer games (leaving my Mac free to do what it was intended for, my design work). And I now play Battlefield 2 more than I ever played Ghost Recon.
So this weekend saw the sad event of my actually wiping GhR off my Mac completely - and my GhR CDs going into long term storage in a cardboard box in our attic.
I didn't want to let the event go unmarked - so I thought I would post this last message on MacGamingMods.
Ghost Recon - to the end - was a fantastic game. I never got bored with it, and it was only BF2's fatastic graphics and the ability to play with 128 other people online in massive urban battles that finally made me turn away.
Rest in peace Ghost Recon - you have been a faithful friend!
In conclusion, I would just like to say a big thank you and farewell to all the terrific people I have met playing GhR and the demo on the Mac and GameRanger...
I'd also like to say a special thanks to Monoman, who more than any other, perhaps, kept me playing GhR long past its sell by date by consistently brining out new little tweaks that kept me interested.
Bye - and you never know, if BF2 or GhR3 ever reach the Mac I am sure I will be back again! - Hopefully I will meet up with you guys again.
