Coolest teacher ever!

I found BZflag from a friend who found it from his cousin who foud it from another friend who found... two years ago (2.0.2).

My Uncle told me about it, He's in the defence department and plays private matchs occasionaly, I always loved tank games, BZ is just perfect!

I don't think I've written anything here so here it goes...

I saw BZFlag on YouTube Don't remember what i searched tho..

My husband was just surfing the web , saw Sourceforge and just found Bzflag by accident as he was noseying around.

the rest is history!

We're both addicted!

Through a Wikipedia chain starting from something about Homestar Runner, I think.

And yes, it's possible to get from anything to anything on Wikipedia, I haven't lost a "scavenger hunt" my sister sets me on yet!

i found bz through one of my friends fathers his a big nerd lol

anyone remember it? that was a badass game.

oh man, I LOVE Spectre. I'm way better at that than BZ

oh right, to answer the question... I found it through my brother (jack) and dad (tadd)

Like Red Baron, I was searching for a free Battle Zone (old arcade) type game and BZFlag showed up. I was hooked from day one; "Hi, my name is LouMan and I'm a BZFlag addict..."

i had just installed mandriva on my computer, used google to find some games for linux, and found bz on a list of first person shooters on wikipedia

by a friend that found it by his dad on linux. he was looking for some games and he found Enemy Territory, BZ, and Foobillard i think but yea

I found it in a large list of online games.

I searched for "Open Source Games" on Wikipedia. I saw the word "free" next to "BZFlag" and clicked on it. I think I was hoping for something like the 3D wireframe Tank game found on old Macs.

TangenT, was that called Spectre? I only remember tanks on a green and black grid.

Yeah, that's Spectre.

I played it at The Boys and Girls Club 2years ago, and i got additcted since!

I heard about it from my dad. He heard abut it from one of his friends. When my dad told me about it, I didn't think it sounded that interesting, so I didn't play it for a long time. But when my dad downloaded it onto his laptop and I saw my brothers playing it, I decided to give it a try. I loved it! But it took us quite a long time to figure out how to change the controls, and I was just lucky we first played it on a laptop!* But luckily for us, we figured out how to change them!




*If you have ever tried to play with the original controls on a PC, you will understand

My dad told us about a game he used to play when he was a student. Then he looked it up on the internet and downloaded it... We were all addicted after two days.

How do you get from Homestar Runner (Love him) to BZFlag??? They're totaly unrelated!

I got addictid to BZ in the days of 1.10.8 from my friend (*Slam*, GeckoV1) who got it from his dad

Oooh man, back in high school. I really can't remember how I originally found it, as I lost interest after a month or so. Towards the end of last year, I rediscovered it (and I am inexplicably quite good, IMHO), and can't go a single day without playing.
Also, a longtime fan of Spectre.

My father found the game and thought that my brother might like it. Now we are both addicted. He is younger than me, but he is better, and an admin now I think.

you all know i love bz and believe it or not my friend told me and his freinds and my friends and like 7 other people kept naging me to play cuz we all love computer games. so after like a week i tried it for 2 days and couldn't stop.

A friend showed it to me back a year or two ago. They've completely forgotten it...
