hey, this is imran, a hardwar's fan  wanna ask you guys a question thats kinda interesting to me, hehe. how much this game hardwar is effecting your daily life? i mean, what in your daily life (or thinking) thats related to hardwar? me for example: - i listen to hardwar mp3s in my car, my bedroom, when i'm working, when i'm going to sleep, when i wake up, etc... - i sometimes imagine my life is like a hardwar game... - when i go out from my home into my car, i feel like i'm inside a moth going out from my hangar... - i'm thinking about doing trading businesses when i play hardwar... - i sometimes dreaming of building a trade center...where people can sell things to us and we sell back to others with a higher price (you can see that i kinda business minded  ) - i feel more motivated to work when i listen to hardwar music, lol. i work hard to get money in hardwar, so i feel like i should work hard in real life too - when i filling my car's gas, i feel like going into the light well - etc so if you dont mind, please share what effects hardwar game has in your life & thinking |

Oh..! A lot of things really.... or the other way around...
I mean, I dont know if hardwar affected my life so much but for sure my life experiences fits in hardwar world very well; its not a game that changed my life, its more a game that keep my life as it was... I'm not sure I'm making much sense...
Last time I've played... last time I've installed hardwar was... a year ago? hardwar 2100... it was a year ago? I'm not sure... but I keep coming here every day or at least twice a week... I'm so used to it and love to come here and see new people get surprised by this old game.
I've took the liberty to put the message received mp3 in what it was at that time my assigned cell phone in this company, lately that phone is in the pockets of the president of the company, he never changed it and every time he gets a text I get a big smile, I'm sure he wonders why I smile every time he gets texted but that is a secret between me and hardwar. ;D
Umm, where are you from? So you feel like checking what is everyone carrying and choosing the best candidate to hijack? umm....
Can somebody warn me if I'm going into same gas station than him?
;D

Hardwar had a a big impact on my life. It began my career as a web developer and network technician. Shortly after I got the full game, I had all kinds of questions. How much did a Neo-Tiger cost? Where could I find fancy missiles and how much did they cost? Who bought Gems? Stuff like that.
I went to the sites of the day and there was no substantial material. I loved the game and was inspired to make a web site that would anwer these basic questions. In a month, I'd learned enought about HTML to layout and upload a pretty good page to a free server. That was 13 years ago this month.
I got hooked on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and started the Code_Punk site and began coding for real. By 1999 I quit my day job and cruised easily through the bust of 2000.
If I hadn't been passionate about getting accurate and needed information to my fellow Hardwar pilots, I would have never coded my first web site.

I can play aggressively or just catch up on some projects like a new moth. I can start any game and play it according to my mood. Sometimes I just start it up to kill everything in sight. Sometimes I just see what I can make with Munitions Machinery. The game is always a little different each time I play it and I'm always coming across something new. |

On another note Pizza who here wonders if they use "special" ingredients? On certain fall and winter days I get that Hardwar itch. Not much else, it is one of the few games that I have played through multiple times, but I can't say it has made any huge differences. It was also the first game I ever played online back in 04, dialup eppp, but it didn't handle to badly, and I never had to worry about ports. Ah so maybe I learned a bit about the frustrations of port forwarding. |

Interesting, a mix of Latin characters with some arabic, and is also one of the 4 main languages of Singapore, I knew that Singapore used Chinese and Singlish. But I didn't know it had 4 main languages.

You can buy machinery at Central Industrial. Details on buying and using manufacturing machines begins on my site here: zedo.hardwar.org.uk/manufacture.htmHere's my site's article on cloning: zedo.hardwar.org.uk/clone.htmYou might also be interested in the Terminal Interface which allows you to do all sorts of things like hire available pilots to work for you. The beginning Terminal Interface (TI) page is here: zedo.hardwar.org.uk/term1.htm |

I have played hardwar on and off for many years(not quite as long as the Captain though). And to this day, when I leave the grocery store, I fire a flare and do like 200 kph to my house to avoid the pirates.  |

wow, some crazy2 things installed when i'm not around. ok thank you for the links. you're pretty dedicated to have typed so much info on this game The bulk of the site took almost three years to get up. By that time the patches came out and gave me more to write. Writing for that site became a daily ritual. The initial outline on paper was several pages long. I started out with Moth information because that was the biggest void online when the site started. Only one site mentioned the Death's Head Moth and suggested that it might only be a myth! No one thought you could get a Police Moth. I just wrote one section at a time until the site is the mess you see today. I'm still working on a site map to make navigation easier. There has also been a *lot* of articles and information provided by other pilots. All of the skins come from other people. So does a lot of the techinical stuff. |

I still remember the time when I first saw those Death Heads and then the Police Moths pop up in Downtown Moths. At the time I/we had no clue how they appeared, but it sure was fun to fly around in one. ;D
