It's be cool to play Air Buccaneers again... I'd have to reinstall UT2k4 again though...

A DS game called Nostalgia. It's an old school style rpg it's decent not great, not bad and you can put new weapons and such on the airship.

I can't find my god damn Tales of Symphonia disc and therefore I am annoyed.

Anyone know any other games with airships as a main feature? Preferably RPGs, but anything'll do. I loves me some airships.
Tales of Symphonia had airships? I remember some kinda flying bikes you could ride, but not airships

Hmm I've read something about a Air Buccaneers server still being out there.
Maybe we could check it out sometime.

When I looked, there was only one on the list, and it was completely empty.

NetStorm is an old RTS game set on floating islands and you can build balloons and airships.

Arcanum had an airship in it.

Didn't last very long, though.

For a game that tried to cram in every aspect of steampunk ever devised up to that day, it always struck me as really weird that there was exactly one airship in the entire world.  I never did figure out why it crashed in the mountains.  The only cities a zeppelin would travel to were nowhere near there, or anything like in-line to another city there.

it was supposed to travel between tarant and the kingdom the other side of the sea.  Calandor, or something like that.

It got shot down by half-orcs on stolen experimental planes

It was coming from Caladon going to Tarant, I think, which actually charts a straight line.

Well, I'm kinda dumb and haven't played Arcanum in ages.  Looking at the map again, it was almost certainly traveling from Roseborough to Tarant, hence the matchbook.  Although I don't think this is ever actually said in-game, and all the other descriptions just suggested the airship traveling from whatever distant part of the world any particular pre-made character hailed from.

Still doesn't explain why there's just the one.  And no steam-powered ships for that matter.

Because the steampunk era is just starting to get some "steam", and grow. Theres only one airship and one railroad for the one reason, and thats that they are pretty much the first ones
