Ok,

so I played JA2 back in 1999. Since then I never touched the game again.
Now I want to play it again and there are so much mods, patches and whatnot out that I really don't know what I should choose.

Basically I want to have the most resonable JA2 experience possible.
About unfinished business I read that it is more bugged than anything.
Wildfire seems to be the unfinished business blend together with original JA2 and a few enhancements.
And then there is that urban chaos mod.

So, can anyone tell me how to get the best experience with a most bugfree and resonabel enhanced JA2?

Which mod and which JA2 version to use?

Hey many thanks,

I'll definitely check out 1.13.
From what I've read it should even work with a clean JA2 install when using the release patch.
And maybe later I'll give that inventory stuff a try, although it sounds a little too confusing for me right now.

My copy of unfinished business (and the great SOG69 mod) was bug free. Not 1 problem...

You should definiatly try UB and SOG69!

(urban chaos is said to be a classic too, but I couldn't exit the first sector - lockup 100% of the time -, so I have no opinion about it...
Oh, but I have an opinion: I wait for 1.13+urban chaos, lets hope it won't have that pesky bug.)

Hmm, yeah I'll check that out when I'm through JA2 1.13.

Another little question about the intro.
Since 1.13 doesn't need any CD, is there a way to put the intro onto the HD and it gets played from there?
And when yes, where do I have to put the intro.slf?

On a side note, didn't have JA2 also a outro video?
Cause on the CD I only can find the intro. :/
