They might have had screens and stuff already instead of buying them too, it's cool to do things like this but their flaw was uploading some shitty video footage, at least try and get a HD camera from someone, a friend, anyone!

Sadly, my friend and I don't have enough money for projectors... nor do we have the wallspace to hook 5 of them up in portrait.

This is your video?

Can always use two projectors next to each other in widescreen mode :P

Or just one HD projector shining to the wall of your house or something, I've always wanted to do that.

The first game I would play on that rig would be X3: Terran Conflict.


Imagine this







On that setup.

My biggest issue with games like that is there are none available that have a sizable universe AND let you land on planets, directly from space. =| The closest you get is this tech demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCzDKj3hjOE

True, but it looks beautiful wink.png. I could never get into the game too much anyways, the UI is terrible.

Back in high school this guy I knew showed me this old DOS game that allowed you to do exactly that. You could land on planets from space and had like an entire galaxy to go to. I want to say it was some variety of Elite.

I have a "game" that's similar and for DOS, it's called Microsoft Space Simulator, let you pic numerous ships, background music, and you could travel just about anywhere that was known in those days.

If you're on about noctis, I've tried it and it's both a pain in the arse to play and not especially fun, imo.


Anyway, this is starting to drift. =P

I have that as well, lol. Only problem is that my shitbox at the time was a 286 and I needed I think a 386 or higher, so I never actually played it sad.png

No idea where the discs are now, a shame.

This looks like it'd be pretty neat but after about 10 minutes I'd kill myself due to the gaps between monitors. =P
