I've tried other Battlefield games over the years. None felt near as fun as this and Vietnam. Even playing alone, the bots were decent enough to play against that I loved it. The few times I got to play LAN multiplayer have some of my favorite childhood memories in it. Driving a jeep straight at a tank and bailing while my friend was distracted shooting at the tank before it slams into and blowing up still brings a smile to my face after all these years.

I have such fond memories of this game from back in the day. I like the naval maps and being able to pilot the ships around, not just small patrol boats, actual ships.
Simplesmente a frente do seu tempo,mapas gigantescos, divertido e com gráficos simples ,fui jogar o Battlefield 2042 e ficou horrível nem parecia Battlefield acho até que se pegasse o 1942 e colocar para vender de novo vai vender mais que o 2042.

Played almost every Battlefield game since this one, but this is the one that started it all for me, also for the FPS genre in general, other than maybe Half-Life and Counter-Strike. Love the other Battlefield games, but none has felt as sandbox-y like this one, and often having maps that are totally unbalanced just to be somewhat accurate to the battle is amazing. It's not as much a competitive game as it is a creative game.

I play my whole childhood in this game on forgotten hope mod with friends and brother. There are so many memories to tell but its hard to describe it with details. Very fun gameplay was on wake island, midway and battle of britain where with friends we jump on one vehicle and fight.
Battlefield 1942 was an amazing thing to experience. It is difficult to put into words just how much fun it was. I was never able to get into 6v6 games. You could be playing something like this, where you can group together in an LCVP boat, land on a beach and try to take objectives. Parachute out of a plane together during Operation Market Garden. Secrets weapons of WWII! There is just so much here that so many will never experience. Battlefield 1943 had people playing up until the very last moment when the server shutdown, and that only had 20% of the content that '42 had. This game deserves better and should not be forgotten.

I already have payed copies of this game on cd. And we like to play this game offline via lan in a nice family round. It is very pleasant to play together and we enjoy the mixture between using vehicles, playing as a soldier and also the ww2-setting of the game. Unfortunately, Battlefield 1942 is causing problems while using connection between pcs. Sometimes, we have to do a full reinstall to use it again via connection. Also, I prefer to get gog-versions, instead of cds, that can scratch. I would love to see Battlefield 1942 on GOG.com. I would give you 50 bucks per copy and in total 150 bucks for me and my family, if you could make it possible on GOG. But without lan-issues or forcing to drm. An additionally GOG GALAXY support would be nice, too for inviting friends to the game via GOG.

Darkened Skye
Darkened SkyeIn the action-oriented 3D role-playing game Darkened Skye, the player takes the role of the title character and embarks on a quest to collect four prisms that may help bring the light of goodness back to the world. Skye of Lynlora was just a restless shepherd when she first came across the strange item that would change her life forever. Now she has opened a portal to another place and chaos has come forth. Only Skye can set things right once again. She will face an assortment of fantasy characters and creatures in her journeys as she makes her way through 30 missions set across five different game worlds. It is notable that, like some other releases from publisher Simon and Schuster (including the Boston Animation-developed M&M's: The Lost Formulas), this game features prominent product placement in the form of Skittles brand fruit-flavored candies. Indeed, it is the mystic power of Skittles that moves Skye through more than one threatening game situation. In spite of any potential incongruities of featuring a familiar consumer item in a fantasy world, Darkened Skye strives to provide the graphical competence, engrossing story, and state-of-the-art play that gamers expect from a major 2002 release. ~ T.J.
