Hey it's Ricardo and welcome to freelancer yes folks I open up the attic
and I found a load of old PC games and other games to play and I can get them
to work as well I mean this is from 1999 so cast your mind back all the way back
then and it kind of bridged the gap from the original Wing Commander series and
you know for what we knew of elite back then on the old 16-bit computers were
that the Atari ST or the Amiga you know elite to elite frontier and the like it
bridged that gap it filled that void of space exploration and that's sort of the
feeling of open wilderness you could choose to be a hero a pirate a merchant
or a smuggler and let's talk about the specs I mean hey windows 98 Emmy 2000 XP
you needed a 600 megahertz processor well and nine hundred megabytes of hard
drive space with a 3d 16 Meg graphics card those were the days also needed a
cd-rom speakers but you had the option of online and multiplayer - this was
produced by Digital anvil games as well as in conjunction as Microsoft Game
Studios now getting it to run was a little bit of a faggot didn't run
straight off the bat but I went onto the forums and the forums pointed me at a no
cd patch for the game now I bought the game so I don't have no problem in using
this no cd patch also there were some really good graphical updates around the
asteroids and some of the sharpening Steff so the community has really sort
of followed on with freelance and it's good to see because it's a great game so
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna play the opening story I'm gonna do a series on
freelancer not only from the retro aspect but I feel like going back and
playing it again so look out for more videos in the series you can read then

it was the 23rd century mankind's darkest hour
the war had been raging for almost a hundred years we had been fighting for
so long no one could remember the reason why it all started in the first place
all we knew is that there were two sides the coalition and the alliance for
decades millions died for the same piece of rock again and again finally one side
managed to gain the upper hand the coalition
is it too
three is in desperation the Alliance launched five sleeper ships the hope was
for them to begin again far from the war strife that had befallen earth to start
free from the prejudices that had divided us for so long each sleeper ship
was christened after its patron nation the Britannia the Rhineland the hispana
the Kesari the Liberty
against all hours the colony ships broke through the coalition blockade
for the Sirius system that was 800 years ago when we came here to rebuild our
lives we've come a long way since then we have
grown we have prospered we have flourished but we will never
forget
