SuicideRusher · June 2003

i started playing it when it was available at GameArena (australias biggest game server host)

that was 1.00, around octobre last year or something

Agkelos · June 2003

i started feb of this year.. 1.04

Frogg2 · June 2003

Halloween ^^

Amped1 · June 2003

1.03 Last December. Right when GameFaqs listed it as one of its games.

StormLiong · June 2003

A long long time ago, in a version far far away....

homerx · June 2003

october 31, halloween <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'>

Spazmatic · June 2003

1.03. Sadly, because of time constraints, I didn't really get to know that version that well, so I only have one version truly under my belt. Not a lot of choices for best version there. ;-)

Frikk · June 2003

9 hours of the first night it was released, causing me to nearly have hallucinations because of just being over a cold and lacking any decent amount of sleep. I also missed my bio lab because of it... er... being sick.... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

PseudoKnight · June 2003

First day of release. I would have liked to playtest, but alas...

lagger · June 2003

Well.. since I joined... a month ago? More? I only know 1.04... so why was 1.00 turrets the best? *gets curioust, yet again.*

clamatius · June 2003

In v1.0, you didn't need a turret factory for the turrets to keep working.

I use v1.0 for bot testing a lot of the time, because there's no team limit so I can easily spawn 8+ bots simultaneously to test waypoints etc.

Morden · June 2003

November 2nd, 2002.

turrets were also "good" in 1.0 because of the lack of strategies and skill. Hell.. when i was new to RTS games i always turtled in my base because i couldn't defend myself.

MagiTek · June 2003

Halloween night, an hour after release.

Speed_2_Dave · June 2003

Halloween afternoon, as soon as I had gotten out of class (had read the manual 2 days earlier, or one day earlier, whenever it was released).

Roger_Dodger · June 2003

Yep had to be halloween after going through the manual multiple times. The good ole days when everyone chose sensory first coz it was awesome to cloak.

Gliss · June 2003

Yes!

Er, well, I joined before 1.02. Good version, it was. I forgot when... I was playing around... November of last year. I joined the forums much later, because I only read them, then, too shy to post ^^.
Best version has gotta be 1.03, because of: Recycling, Fades were 44, and just some other general stuff that was good. And the acid splash, can't forget that.

KEm1KaL1 · June 2003

My spirit's been in it since may 2002 when I found out it. Been really playing since very release.

Lerk on! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif'>

Lord_Necromancer · June 2003

I started playing NS when I got my ADSL connection and GA (Australian largest game server) started to host it. So in October last year. Been up hill ever since, Love the game.

MercsDragon · June 2003

halloween!!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Eclipse · June 2003

1.0, about 3 days or so after the release, I read about it on some website and went and got it.

Been playing ever since.

p4Prospero · June 2003

Halloween!

0blique · June 2003

About a week after halloween. Then I left temporarily until 1.01 because of all the lag.

CaptainPanaka · June 2003

v. 1.0 - just right after the release <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Heh, I did the same thing. The manual was cool enough to pump me up before playing the game. Sensory first... ahh those were the days.... also, those were the days when you can drop down from the ceiling as a skulk cause marines seldom looked up <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Also, turret farms would fill whole corridors, so much that you can't get out of the hive, and when alien victories we're really really hard won (very rewarding which made me become an alien player).

In case anyone missed it, I started playing at 1.0, October 31st baybeee! Might have been 1st of November though cause I'm in Asia.

uberbroke · June 2003

Proud to be a v 1.0 player.

KI6 · June 2003

V 1.0, on Halloween night, for twenty minutes, before going to a party. Managed to get a good taste of wall-running, but at the time I couldn't figure out why I can't reach the hive because an invisible wall was blocking me. (That's right folks, I didn't know what weldable areas were, although it was unusual how the fence was invisible to aliens.)

MonsieurEvil · June 2003

V.0.1, December of 2001.

yeah, you don't count monse <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I found out it was released, and rushed home, so, about 20 minutes after it released, haloween night. The biggest server you could play on was 4 on 4, because even then your ping was 600+. Played every day since then, had to upgrade my comp several times just to allow it to keep up with me and with the game. Those were the good old days..........the days my homie Crazy_Monkey and I would get 76-3 skulk kill-death ratios :-). I never played marines until 1.03, since there was always a kharaa shortage. Man those days ruled!
