Sharing your cd key, are you now?

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.

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

But it was a cool game

If it’s on a cd, it ain’t old yet.

qbus, 6 miesięcy temu

Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro

TachyonTele, 6 miesięcy temu

I didn’t know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It’s practically hidden.

essell, 6 miesięcy temu

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!

Modern_medicine_isnt, 6 miesięcy temu

Ahhh the manuals… and the mail order hint guides. Those were the days.

essell, 6 miesięcy temu

Did anyone ever fill out those registration cards?

skygirl, 6 miesięcy temu

Okay grandpa

Modern_medicine_isnt, 6 miesięcy temu

Not yet, but I am old enough… lol

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.

FeloniousPunk, 6 miesięcy temu

Their logos and packaging were designed by focus2 in Dallas, TX. I used to work there. Fun fact: The lead designer for Return to Wolfenstein project was flying back from Hong Kong, from a press check/approval of the metal tin packaging, on 9/11. He was stuck out of the country for a while. Really cool guy. But I’m not sure focus2 was involved in Rage. They were decimated by the economy after 9/11, never did really recover from that. I think they had gone under by then.

andrew_bidlaw, 6 miesięcy temu

I can imagine they dragged that influence for a while, retouching old logos and keeping this style. I singled Rage out because it’s different and aim to be edgy in comparison to classic games, yet it standed out on a shelf.

Everybody way oh!

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.

Deestan, 6 miesięcy temu

One day I will pick that game up for the 8th time and actually finish it.

Blackmist, 6 miesięcy temu

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.

I never thought I would see blade of darkness again. Thank you for sharing.

Chef_Boyardee, 6 miesięcy temu

One of my favorite games. One time I was able to dismember a guy completely before his body hit the ground.

poolhelmetinstrument, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share.

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.

Mesophar, 6 miesięcy temu

Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.

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.

anomnom, 6 miesięcy temu

Yup skullmonkeys is great. It’s in a box with my Game sharked PS1 for playing a copy of Bushido Blade once a decade.

And009, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share.

Eidos, I know that name… Anyone remember commandos?

farcaller, 6 miesięcy temu

There were quite a few games using the same formula (and improving on it), to the point where I feel Desperados would be my favorite in that genre, not Commandos itself.

I still remember having to reparation my drive and reinstall windows, upgrading from fat16, because commandos wouldn’t fit on either partition.

And009, 6 miesięcy temu

Going through Desperados 3 after wastelands myself. Shadow tactic up next.

For me Xcom mechanics is goat. For all my life I’d been into RTS, rise of nations kind.

Commandos remaster is on the way. Maybe I’ll pick it up to remind myself of childhood horrors

TheEighthDoctor, 6 miesięcy temu

Alarm! Alarm!

phoneymouse, 6 miesięcy temu (edited 6 miesięcy temu)

Loved commandos. They’re making a new one. There is a demo out. Probably launched next year.

I should start collecting physical PC games
