Sharing your cd key, are you now?
I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child
These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.
I can’t believe someone else got gunman chronicles. Although mine looks more like a half life cover than yours.
Rtcw is also my goto memory whenever someone mentions Wolfenstein. The modded 64 player servers were a blast despite the lag.
Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It’s amazing that it is in such good condition.
If it’s on a cd, it ain’t old yet.
Okay grandpa
Exactly.
Old games come in large cardboard boxes to accommodate the manual, with disks rattling around inside.
And in one case, a vacuum packed t-shirt too!
Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro
I didn’t know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It’s practically hidden.
Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.
It was one of the early games I got for the PS2.
I didn’t really like it tbh. Ammo was way too sparse. Don’t think I ever finished it.
One day I will pick that game up for the 8th time and actually finish it.
I remember playing Project IGI, that one was hard. Die and you have to redo the entire mission, brutal.
Was the same with the first Hitman
Igi, Deus ex, NASCAR 2, there’s a lot of milestone games there
Wolf’s logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.
Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.
Rockstar acquired Oni to get its proprietary engine and killed its sequel, Oni 2 because they got what they wanted
Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.
But I admire your hate version.
Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management
I just recenly learned about Oni 2s leaked prototype existence and I’m salty that they piecemealed that IP into oblivion… HOWEVER…Oni’s engine would become the RAGE engine that powers and gave life to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 (…and perhaps GTA VI…?)
Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.
I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.
Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea
I never thought I would see blade of darkness again. Thank you for sharing.
The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.
There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.
Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.
And that soundtrack was so good
Bandcamp link here - one of my all-time favourite VG soundtracks. Never heard anything like it before or since!
Whoa! it really is awesome!
Omg, thanks for this. I was looking for the name of Gunman and Oni. Played them when I was younger and forgot what they were called.
Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.
