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
Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro
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!
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
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
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
Wolf’s logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.
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.
Igi, Deus ex, NASCAR 2, there’s a lot of milestone games there
Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven’t played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. I don’t think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.
I didn’t know there was a jewel case version. Mine is in a DVD case.
Heard it felt unfinished
I remember the levels being copy/paste rooms, but things like bathrooms and break rooms were absent. It didn’t really feel like a real world people live in.
I remember them boasting that an architect contributed to the level design. Turns out, real world environment design didn’t map to early 2000’s game design very well.
Now designing a modern VR game or something, that might be a different story.
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.
