A post below made me think of this. How did you hear about HSX when you first started? Willroast Apr 02, 03:24

I heard about it from Max Keiser, who came up with the concept and was the co-creator. It just took me 15 years to find the time to play! {nm} hyperzeitgeist Apr 02, 04:51

Max wasn't shy about promoting the site and I came across three news stories about it in 3 days...played it for a week and loved it {nm} JustaGuy Apr 02, 14:06

Afrer killing too many prostitutes on Mobfather.com, my friends and family got worried and suggested I find another game {nm} RHAWK Apr 02, 06:15

I kept getting job offers but was unfamiliar with what the movies were about; I used search engines for research and kept coming across HSX {nm} RHAWK Apr 02, 06:18

Hollywood Video was the bee's knees! I used to get dropped off there after partying (high school) and pick up vids every Fri and Sat. {nm} Willroast Apr 02, 11:17

nice! {nm} Moviesnob Apr 02, 12:46

I am here because a friend told me. He had stopped playing more than 15 years ago. I took to HSX as a way to harness my "chart" skill. {nm} DiNar0 Apr 02, 14:41

it was back in 1997, and I can't remember anymore...I was always visiting movies news sites, so maybe at one of those places {nm} tealfan Apr 02, 22:49

Saw an article in a Swedish Internet newspaper back in 1997 and tried it. Left after a while but did not forget and returned last year {nm} mattep74 Apr 02, 23:28
