When is the game "complete"?

I was having a debate with Mon Mothma on Devnet XML Chat as to what constitutes completion of the game. Giskard pointed out it was a highly personal thing, so what's your definition?

When nutters like you stop asking daft questions.

Other - when I get bored and there seems to be no challenge left.

However as long as people can come up with new Ideas that should be fine, roll on the extension

Like Bernd said of the X-Universe development - it's never complete.

Other - When i realize that i am spending much more time 'licking' this forum than actually playing the game!

Never, and for the reason that I still play Colonization every now and then when the weather gets too cold to play Outrun Coin Op in my garage

Well, for me, X-T was complete when X2 came out, so I'd have to say, when X3 comes out (or X2-T, if it's more than just an add-on to X2).

Heh... one of these days I have to go dig up my Colonization disc and play it a bit for old times' sake. I loved that game... never was much good at it, but I loved it.

My long term goal is to capture a Xenon K. The game however will only be complete when the X2-addon or X3 are released.

I enjoyed Colonization, but the one I'm eagerly awaiting is the next installment of Lords of the Realm, III. When it comes out, I may have to put X2 aside for a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed LOTR I & II, those classic games of 'cows & catapults'. Just could never figure out how to put the cows on the catapults.

never

One of the best things about X BTF, X-T, and X2 is that there is no end...well except that pathetic PLOT!!!!!

You can always buy more ships and stations...and make more money!

'Colonization' was a DOS game, right? Will it work OK on XP(,,sound,upper memory, high memory bah..). I remember i had to create a boot-disc with tweaked config.sys and autoexec.bat to make it run. It needed 630K+ free memory to be able to even start?

You can download a programme called dosbox. It's a bit fiddly but it works on xp fine.

when I get bored making new mods and no one elses mods are fun anymore...

This game will last for years (on and off, but still years.)
