Deus Ex, JC Denton is my Avatar... its relevant here...

One of my most favoured games ever, even though its so old, I still went out and bought a copy last year and played it again and again. If I had the time, I would make my own versions and sequels and prequels... with heroes such as Alex Jones in it.

If people are not too sure what I am talking about, check the link below, from which I have quoted.

what the....and this was made a year before? how many more things can there be that just by chance acted out the exact or a simular scenerio to what happened before it happened .

the drills/wargames, a programme the lone gunman?(not sure if its called that), this computer game, and the project for the new american century.

all done not long before 9/11 but all go it right or it is starting to come true because of 9/11.

is there anything ive missed?

Here is another, a card game manafactured years before 9/11:

I have both. Illuminati isn't actually that great but as Zabooka sais, Deus Ex is just about the most awesome game ever made and the quantity and quality of conspiratorial know how of its writers is worthy of some kind of certificate.

I wasnt paying attention to Deus Ex much back then but I shall dust off my copy and take a fresh look. I had noted it was your avatar.

The Illuminati card game I had heard of, but it really is stunning in its predictions. Was Steve Jackson illuminati all along or just a seriously clued up researcher?

[flamesong]

I have Illuminati too. There used to be a lengthy thread on it but I don't seem to be able to find it. Probably got trashed in the spring clean.

[Zabooka]

I don't know much about the Illuminati Card game, though I have glossed over the link. Deus Ex, Invisible Wars... that really annoyed me, because it seemed to have sold out to the story, I felt that, after 9/11, a game like Deus Ex had to change, it had to be killed off somehow. How to do that? Create such a rubbish sequel that had none of the magic of the original game.

Was there an "Invisible War" being fought out in the development team of Deus Ex:Invisible Wars? Who knows.

Not to mention the other parallels, like doing missions for UNATCO (United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition), then later changing sides when you discover the truth, chimeara experiments\secret weapons in MJ12 labs, martial law takeovers of cities, the "black death" engineered bio-attacks by the establishment across the world to cull population....

Deus Ex is a masterpiece of a game and is easily one of my favourite games of all time and I still play it every now and again.
I always remember the time I sneaked into the secret MJ12 base in Hong Kong and whilst looking for the top secret Dragons Tooth sword I discovered an old tramp locked in a holding cell. I set him free and left him and then searched out and quietly found the sword and made it back to the point where I had entered the complex when all of a sudden the alarm went off and seconds later the old tramp came running down the corridor with about four Men in black chasing after him. It was hilarious and they all ignored me as they ran past. The feeling of immersion in this game was outstanding and that along with atmosphere is what I look for.


The sequel was a total disappointment though and failed to build on the original in every way. There were a few good moments in it but the game seemed to take a step backwards for me compared to Deus Ex which was so far ahead of its time. A lot of Deus EX is relevant to what is going on today.

[Zabooka]

Yes, it is the most immersive game I have ever played, the gameplay, the plot and story, the characters, the settings, everything was so beautiful.
