Like what was the reason you found Gametechmods, and Ra2?

(I just watched NerdCube and got it from that)

BBBBBEANS (a while afterward, but, /shrug)

Not a good idea to be introduced to RA2 with a 67 contestant tournament. You're probably never gonna see that many people in one event again.

By complete chance. The Tornado Mer vs Particle accelerator fight from Steel Conflict, in which PA's wheels got ripped off one by one, and the description said "It reminds me of playing Robot Arena 2." Before then, I only had the Robot Wars games ,and those didn't have the capabilites to rip your opponent's wheels off, so naturally I was intrigued.

Sorry, I misspoke. I meant 67 people in one event.

I first read about RA2 on Wikipedia. However, I didn't download it until watching videos of it on May 1 caught my attention. I also read the wiki and found GTM, so I immediately joined

WeN · « **Reply #11 on:** May 15, 2018, 07:29:09 PM »

Around December 2015, I watched one of the Robot Arena 2 Videos, then I clicked on the link to GTM, and I went to the download tab and downloaded robot arena 2.

But wasn't until January, 1, 2016 I signed up for GTM and post one of the worst mod I ever made, Robot Noob.

good morning, had a nice day

I just googled "Robot Combat Video Games" and it came up as the most recent one.

Actually ra3, but ra2 is second.

I liked RA1 so I got the sequel for me 15th Birthday.

RedAce · « **Reply #15 on:** May 15, 2018, 08:55:05 PM »

Kinda a chain reaction of things for me. Found RA1 in a Hope Depot I think when I was stupid young, I think after I liked RA1 enough, I decided to do more research on things (which is probably a fancier way of saying I was looking for cheat codes when I was young), then I found then RA2 from there. BBEANS also kinda helped me get back into the game as well when I was briefly searching for RA2 forums (I think).

Was watching some old RW:ED and AoD videos while bored and on a nostalgia trip years ago and stumbled upon this: .

The physics looked like they blew the Robot Wars games out of the water so I looked the game up and found the forum. Then immediately realised that stock was nothing like what I saw.

I can't remember what it was called, it was part of a thing when I was in elementary school that you can order whatever books you want. RA2 was in that thing as a part of the PC games section.
