Wow, not sure what brought me here but it's pretty amazing that all this exists. It says a lot of very positive things about the community around the game that it has developed into such a nurturing and encouraging environment. I haven't played since a few months after the official release if I remember correctly, but the beta period made Allegiance probably my favorite game ever. I remember my first big game with 128 players, lasting hours and hours. We had to constantly invent new strategies and techniques on the fly, some of which the developers would leave the developers shaking their head about where that came from. The game has a ton of great ideas, some of which haven't been emulated effectively even now 15 years later. Here's to Allegiance, it's community, and it's developers.

As a side note, is this the official working project for FreeAllegiance: https://github.com/ImagoTrigger/FreeAllegiance ? I only saw four commits over the last year but didn't see any other FreeAllegiance repos. If that isn't the official one, does anyone have a link to the original source available for forking?

30... I was just a little older when I started playing Alleg.

I was thinking about you and Rob1479, I think you were about the youngest regulars. Are KevK & R2K playing anything?

This game ruined all games for me really. I can't get hard anymore unless I can fly backwards while 20 @#$%@#s yell at me to stop whoring and buy bombers. XT may have killed this game but sysx won it.


Jk <3 If anyone is in az I'm opening a bar arcade called The Grid. Free Allegiance = Free Beer.

If you can use the internet you can find The Grid. I believe in you. And if you can't you should probably not have that last 🍺 and learn how to properly format a search query using context.

(p.s. I really am not much of a *#$@. We are in Mesa but your name screamed give me @#(!)
