YouTube Video: X3: Terran Conflict Guide Part 1: Getting Started. It starts with the Humble Merchant, and shows different mechanics of the game over 13 episodes, which will allow you to start building your own fleet and get your bearing in the game. The tutorial is, unfortunately, not up to the task (unless you are either dedicated, happy to experiment, or have experience with one of the game's predecessors).Ī definite turn-off, though, is that it is neigh on impossible to play X3 without a joystick. Hey everyone, My 13 episode guide is now finished. Again, this may appeal to hardcore gamers - but not to me. Worse, X3 can be singularly unforgiving - a small mistake during the initial phase of the game can come back to haunt you countless hours later. This game is aimed at the hardcore gamer, with a stunning array of options, configuration options, and a learning curve to match. Some aspects of the interface (especially management of resources later in the game) are ill conceived or badly executed. X3 may be an OK game, but it is overly complex (however, that may appeal to you), and somewhat oddly paced. They all try, and X3 is the second time I've tried an offering from this series. Now, almost 30 years later, many have tried to recapture the essence of Elite: open-ended, freewheeling space trade. Newcomers to the franchise should play the tutorial missions to better. I still play it occasionally on my Apple II emulator. Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for X3: Terran Conflict at. In 1985 I got hooked on a game called ELITE.
