    Gran Tourismo 2 & 3 and Unreal Tournament. Basically recreations in modern engines.

    Those games defined the late 90s/early 00s for me.

      Unreal Tournament would be interesting since that would mean a basic Unreal Engine 1 implementation which could probably be extended to cover e.g. Deus Ex as well. And also blockbusters like Wheel of Time, XCOM: Enforcer, and Duke Nukem Forever. Look, they can’t all be winners.

      But yeah. Linux-native UT1 and DX with proper support for modern hardware sounds quite appealing.

          Yes. It was a decent shooter but a very weird piece of WoT media.

          You played an Aes Sedai who couldn’t use the One Power but for same reason was still a high-ranking member of the White Tower. For weapons you used single-use ter’angreal, which were scattered around the levels. You know, just like how in the books everyone is always complaining about how everything’s cluttered up with balefire-spitting artifacts.

          Yeah, it’s best not to think about it too much. The story was actually somewhat serviceable if you ignore absolutely everything about the main character.

          If you’re interested, GOG has it on offer. Right now there’s a sale (at least in my region). 2.50 € doesn’t seem like a bad price.

          Loved it, it was awesome. No idea how faithful it is to the books but it had great graphics and was a lot of fun.
