How did you learn about BSF?

Post by mtheminja »

And how can we try and get it to more people? I found it on JayisGames, and I just told them they should refeature it since there has been such big updates. Also, it got a review which missed how awesome ship builder is...

So, where did you find it?

I found it in the section of PC Gamer called (I believe) Freeloader. I thought it looked look so I googled Battleships Forever and here I am today.

Most of the Singaporeans here on the forums should have read about BSF in the local newspapers last year. th15 got featured quite a number of times, I remember.

I am in the same boat as AidanAdv. I heard about BSF in the Games For Windows magazine, in the freeloader section. They gave it some high remarks too. I looked into it because I wanted to find a good fleet fighting game. I found that in BSF... and a lot more.
No, wait, go back! Why are there six pedals if there are only four directions?

Guy made a megathread on facepunch about battleships forever. I was intrigued by the ship building, and the gameplay looked awesome (I love games that force you to flank and the like.) so I simply clicked the link, went to the nearest download I could find and BLAM, I've been sucked in.

In short, link on a gaming website.

I just typed "freeware games" on google, pressed the first link, and found BSF. Simple as hell. I haven't been able to spread it around, unfortunately. People around me seem to have a dislike for space games.

I got it off the cover disc of PC PowerPlay issue 142. (September 2007)
It was version 0.64, which was out-dated even then, so I quickly got a newer version off the website pretty much straight away. I'm very glad that I did.

I found the game just like that, searching for a good game.

Star Wars galactic battlegrounds heaven forums, where NoverCalis posted his fantastic Star Destroyer, and Boba Fetuccini was waffling on about it for ages also.

Found it via the GreatGamesExperiment myself. Been trying to spread it, but not all too successfully so far.

Nobody at my school plays stratergy games, and they don't have any intrest in trying even a free one.

Someone advertised the game to me on a certain forum I (used to) visit.
