Gunman Chronicles is unironically great. Granted, I love games with ludicrous numbers of weapons, but the fact that the weapons have a bazillion firing modes is fun.

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

If it's on a cd, it ain't old yet.

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!

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.

Igi, Deus ex, NASCAR 2, there's a lot of milestone games there

Eidos, I know that name.. Anyone remember commandos?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Alarm! Alarm!

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.

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

Wolf's logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.

Agent 47 looks like he's seen some shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I should start collecting physical PC games

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Everybody way oh!

I dont't think I've ever played an eidos game that actually worked and ran out of the box. Such a bad experience.

FF7 was hot garbage
