Talk:Fury3

Untitled
Wow. I have to say that even now, when we demand human-like faces, Fury three is one of the most amazing games I have ever played. 24.227.116.226 04:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Halo canon to Fury3?
I don't have the dates in front of me, but does it seem to you that the Bions could've been the next evolution of the SPARTANs, and the IP wars are the Halo canon? The architechture of Terran vessels in Halo is so similar to the first cutscene in Fury3 that it seems to me it was lifted directly from the old files. The ship even resembles a souped-up Longsword. My memory is that Fury3 took place at about the same time or before Halo (somewhere in 2137 or something), but that's an easy issue to fix on a relatively small game compared to Halo, and the technology and span of humankind in Fury3 is so much greater than Halo if they do take place in the same universe Fury3 would have to have come afterwards. EDIT: It would help if I read the article next time. 2832 puts it way after the events of Halo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.94.78.180 (talk) 10:25, 13 October 2006.


 * You're way off the mark. Halo and Fury3 aren't even developed by the same people (Fury3 is by Terminal Reality, whereas Halo is by Bungie Studios. Actually, Halo probably has more in common with Bungie's previous FPS series for the Macintosh, Marathon.


 * Incidentally, why does this article state that Fury3 is a direct sequel to Terminal Velocity? I didn't think the two had anything in common apart from the fact they both use the same engine. --Lumina83 08:08, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Company is another thing they have in common. 3Drealms/Apogee was the publisher of Terminal Velocity, but Fury3 and Terminal Velocity were made by the same company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.15.77.224 (talk) 16:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Windows Version
Fury³'s is redesigned to run natively under Windows 95

I remember buying this game and it running fine on Windows 3.11 with WinG. In fact on my old 486DX 66 I remember it ran better in Windows 3.1 than 95. Those were in the heady days of 8mb ram! In fact I remember it being a novelty to play such a game in Windows. Before you had to spend a week trying to get enough conventional memory, or messing about with EMS/XMS settings... oh, those were the days! (I now use Linux - perhaps my heady DOS gaming days were good training)

Anyway - my question: were the Windows 3.1 and 95 versions different? Or is this actually a late 16bit app masquerading as a Windows 95 one? --Philip Corner 22:57, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * MobyGames lists this game as both Windows 3.x and Windows 95. I guess the article must be corrected, then. Since I've only played a demo of this for some minutes, I don't know much about this game. Someone else probably can fix the article better than me.

Yeah, the picture of the box has a sticker on it saying it works for 3.1. Kirbysuperstar (talk) 05:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I own a copy of this game and can verify that it contains the Win32s (same as WingG?) library on the CD-ROM. That means only one thing; it could support run under Windows 3.1. The program was heralded as a Windows-95 native application, though. I remember a magazine of the era much trumping it as a paradigm shift in gaming away from DOS. In any case, I have never tried executing it under a 16-bit Windows version, but I don't doubt the success of Philip Corner. Presumably it was a real 32-bit app, but designed to use just the parts of the new API that the win32s compatibility layer provided. As a side note- like Philip, I also played the game on a 486 DX-2 66 with eight megabytes of RAM (rather slow...) and have fully migrated to Linux.

Cleanup?
This article is..pretty badly written. Any chance of getting a clean up? Kirbysuperstar (talk) 05:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Superscript 3
Why does the name contain a superscript 3? I downloaded the demo and found no indication that number 3 should be superscript. If no opposition I am gonna propose we move back to Fury3. --Voidvector (talk)

Superscript 3 Correct
The packaging for the game is Fury superscript 3, or "fury cubed". The picture also confirms this 92.238.100.175 (talk) 14:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
