Man, this post brought me back memories of Unreal Tournament (and 2k4) and now I feel very nostalgic for all those custom maps and weapons. Used to spend so much time playing giant insta-gib deathmatches (and when I had all the time in my late-teens/early 20s). Wish that game is still supported.

rnd,

What are your opinions on Xonotic? It’s a FPS that borrows many things from Quake and UT games, features a lot of modes and has an active online community, so I think it could provide a similar feel?

I used to play a ton of Quake 3 Rails only Instagib! I was hosting a Q3 server for a while not long ago, but just didn’t have the time to dedicate to it. Might be fun to spin up again. It would run 24/7 with bots so I’d just hop in and out during lunch downtime or something.

What a throwback.

Check out the Sniper Elite series. The most recent games have a good, challenging, and engaging Stealth mechanic to them.

Good old de_rats. I never saw something like that for other games, but brings up memories. I should install 1.6 again sometime…

Yep, immediately what I thought of when I saw this.

My kids showed me some Minecraft maps with that concept. Unfortunately I don’t know where they got them.

In the Thief: The Dark Project mission The Sword you can find a gigantic room.

Lots of great suggestions already but I want to throw in another recommendation for Splinter Cell. The series lost it’s identity later on, but Chaos Theory still holds up in my opinion with some great levels.

Supraland is also a good game

TF2 has some good ones. Those were the days, along with the original prop hunt, rocket jump maps and sledding.

Mandatory Dishonored 1 and 2 recommendation, but Prey is also very good

I haven’t actually played it yet, but HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed has been in my Steam library for ages. That looks like it may scratch your itch …

I really miss some “toy soliders” 3D shoot-em-up that I can just baaaaaaarely remember from the 1990s … does anybody remember the game I’m thinking about? (There was definitely a series, I distinctly recall the name ending in “2” …)

Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes 2? I played the shit out of that

Ah yes, good old ttt_teenroom.

Those maps make callouts very easy because pretty much everything has a name already, so you don’t need to argue about what’s what.

Not a shooter, but superliminal I think has a few levels that let you use portals to change your size, and there’s no limits on how many times you can do it, so you can shrink yourself to be microscopic to the point where you can fit inside a straw and it takes like a minute to walk to the end of the straw. Everything in the room is modeled to be quite detailed, so there’s also a chess board, and you can get on top of the rook piece and it’s like being on top of a castle.

Pretty fun puzzle game

Theres hypercharged: unboxed its oretty fun. Also some toy story games kinda scratch that itch for me

tulwinn, do gaming w What forgotten cult classic games are worth revisiting?

I’m probably alone in remembering this game but I loved Hardwar back in the day. It’s an Elite style trading game set on Titan. The player pilots a ‘moth’ ,a small flying craft, between craters.
It had an interesting story that played out as you explored with areas blocked out, due to events, and made accessible later on.

The developer closed doors but IIRC at least one member of the team released a patch that had been developed later on.

I played it pretty obsessively and it had a small passionate community but it wasn’t a hit.

+1 vote for the Dishonored games. If you want a quick showcase of what's possible in this title or the whole series, StealthGamerBR is probably one of the best people to watch.
