    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.

    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.

    I remember playing Project IGI, that one was hard. Die and you have to redo the entire mission, brutal.

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

      Rockstar acquired Oni to get its proprietary engine and killed its sequel, Oni 2 because they got what they wanted

        Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.

        But I admire your hate version.

          Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management

          I just recenly learned about Oni 2s leaked prototype existence and I’m salty that they piecemealed that IP into oblivion… HOWEVER…Oni’s engine would become the RAGE engine that powers and gave life to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 (…and perhaps GTA VI…?)

        Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

    The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.

    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 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.
