Some years ago (1999 or 2000 i think) i guess i played bz flag only once with some friends on a LAN. 2006 i dug it out when i searched something to test the stability of my new DSL. Actually i had planned to test only for five minutes, but whatever...i am still testing :D

I first found this one tank battle game on a different site. The graphics were better, but the gameplay was nowhere near what you get from bzflag. Anyway, I wanted to find a better tank battle game, and eventually I just came across this. I was pretty pleased.

Me and my dad downloaded it on the old "luxor lamp" iMac when it first came out... that was back when I was like 5, so it quickly lost it draw (all i could do was get pwned... so then I remembered it last year, and sat at the computer googling everything from tank to team (i didnt remember the name) and finally found it... Ive been hooked ever since (haven't we all)

I did not find the game; the game found me.

But really, just searching on SF.net and found this. I thought you needed to know people to play it, so I did not get it right away. Then I thought I might as well try it since it was on the high ranks on SF.net, and then realised there was a server list. No friends needed! Awesome, I thought...and here I am years later.

Umm, I forget, but I think it was a top 10 list to start your day form somewhere, and, of corse I ended up getting it from sourceforge.

A friend showed it me about 4 years ago, but then I forgot the game. I remembered it 4 weeks ago, because I was bored :D

Ah Bolo... I used to play that game. :) Great fun. It was really popular for a long time, too.
