Was visiting my parents for their 50th anniversary and stumbled upon this gem from my youth. More below.

I wish Tim Epic would release this as open source. Cmon game and engine is old enough and Quake guys did the same...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can't. They're totally bogged down in making Darth Vader to the Macarena.

Ahh, UT, those were the days, me and my friends played it in school during school hours. (Then moved on to WC3 DOTA, in school during school hours.)

Man, Homeworld. My best friend and I spent countless hours with that.

It was amazing what they did with relatively primitive 3D graphics. It was a beautiful RTS.

Wow. So many flashbacks. Thanks for sharing

Unreal is so fucking good, if you guys didn't play it yet, it holds up perfectly. Get the fan patch from oldunreal and play.

Quake III is fun, I like occasionally duking out with bots on it.

Never touched Homeworld, maybe someday.

I have all four of those boxes in my bin-o-old computer games in my garage. Oh many I need to play Homeworld again.

These bring back good memories.

Low-grav, insta-gib is the best play mode.

On DM-Deck16 map!! Firing rockets at the ground to jump up and over to the other side and blasting your mate point blank with the frag gun mid air. God I loved that game and it wasted HOURS of my uni time playing LAN matches across campus.

I won every tournie we set up and played in the 1st year Halls.

When I first got the original CS thoguh I lost my skill. I didn't have the patience for one-shot kills. I rage quit everytime I'd get headshot. I realised I was good at tanking a shot then crazy-dodging and countering. You couldn't do that in CS. So in UT I could take a shot, rocket jump in their direction and shotgun the bastard from behind before they knew what was happening. None of those skills transffered to CS where accuracy and cover was the main aim.

Quake 3 Arena... ahh, the memories...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Great collection. I spent endless hours playing Capture the Flag in Unreal Tournament, loading up the rocket launch to unleash when someone popped round the corner. Good times.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

All great games, I played so much of all these, especially unreal. Dial up deathmatches!

UT99 still slaps

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Adding Command and Conquer, Heavy Gear. And Battlezone (1998) to those three would round out my PC gaming childhood. Good times!

[Edit] Mlem and Memmy aren’t posting correctly. Had to edit on the website from a browser. Sorry, still getting used to all the quirks!

Tribes 2 and Sacrifice come to mind.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I’d had a lot of fun with that newer F2P Tribes game. Not quite the same, I’m sure.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I liked that game so much, it felt like as betrayal they just dumped it for smite. At least that's how i remember it, if they're even the same dev

Awesome. A golden age of PC gaming
