Ah. Then it's time to start looking for my Chaos Gate CD and hope the patch fix the freeze problem. I bet my CD is at my parents house. :(

VirtualPC? I'll have a look at it.

Final Liberation's movies don't play under XP/Vista/7 (unless you have been able to find some workaround, but to my knowledge there is none), and the movies were half the reason to play Final Liberation in the first place.

The game itself is nothing special though.

Also, as for Chaos Gate, there is a known issue with modern graphics card drivers and that game. There is something about the graphics effect that is shown when a cultist fires that modern graphics drivers (not cards) don't like. This does not happen to everyone, but a lot of people have reported this issue Playing the game in a virtual machine should work though, as does manually removing every single cultist from the game with the map editor.
The game is buggy no matter what though, so expect a few crashes and things that really should not happen along the way.

The movies in FL are great. Leftovers from a W:40K movie that never was finished.
Though I disagree that the game wasn't any special. I love how they got the W:40K feeling, the units and how the battles was done with you buying and composing your army. Also the battle engine is great.
Been looking for a similar game for ages.

Looks like Chaos Gate will be a tricky one. Guess I'll know how it works if I find the CD.

I love the 40k licence, and I loved the game when I was younger, but my issue with it is the AI. It is moronic, and that cuts back on the need to use any real strategies, thus the battles swiftly got very repetitive. They did include plenty of units on both sides (it would seem like they got at least most Ork & Imperium Epic units that existed at that time), but melee units were hopelessly underpowered (which did not help the orks one bit, as they had a lot of melee units, and as the campaign only allowed you to play as the Imperium there was no way around this).

And I'm afraid that I'll have to correct you on the 40k movie part. I don't know the exact story behind the ill faithed 40k movies that GW were doing at that time, but they were working on 3: Inquisitor, a space hulk one and one where an ork warlord got possessed by a chaos daemon. One was finished (inquisitor), and was shown at a Game's day, but the others were not. None had the right kind of content for Final Liberation though, even if there were some scenes from the ork one that could be used (though to my knowledge, none of them were). It is quite likely that the clips that were shown in Final Liberation were done by the same people who were working on the 40k movies.

Also while Emperor of the Fading Suns is a radically different game compared to Final Liberation, you might find it interesting. It was done by the same people who made it, and the Fading Suns setting is somewhat similar to the 40k setting (although far from identical).

Yes the AI is bad. That's why the campaign is too easy.
But it was still fun in set up battles and playing against a friend is very fun. :)
Oh and I found that when the orks had lots of armour and titans I suffered the most casualties. It always seemed that they had bonuses with them. My armour missed a lot more than them and had a harder time penetrating their armour.

I admit I haven't heard about the movies from a official source but everywhere else they seem to mention it.

Emperor of the Fading Suns is now on my ever growing list of games to try. Thanks for the tip.

This game is excellent, I have played it many times, finnished it once.
The game will work gread in win98, but who has win 98 anymore?
try this,,, run virtual PC,, install win98 in virtual PC and play it in your new install
of win98, works great, no cultist bugs or anything,,if youlike the older 40k games,
try space crusade using dosbox, and heroquest also on dosbox,final liberation,, never
tried it, although i have it,, just never tried it,, i will try that on dosbox.
