I wonder if the sequel will work on Win7? I beat the first one and it was so worth it. No On Lives Forever, No One Lives Forever 2. For being a ground-breaking FPS, it’s actually kind of bland. Judging from the art, somebody wanted to be Rob Liefeld really badly, and then they licensed the Doom engine.Īliens vs Predator. Not particularly engaging, but 3D.Ĭybermage: Darklight Awakening. Like it says on the spine, 3D Real Time Strategy. Which is better, Duke or Doom? The correct answer was always Descent II. Not having instructions made figuring this out more of a game than the game itself.ĭescent II. Kind of like an RTS where you take over the town with your mob enforcers, if I remember right. Strategy? Wing Commander clone? Like a lot of games in the pile, I got it for $1 and then never played it. The GOG.com version is very tempting, if only to finally see if I’d have enjoyed it back in the day.ĭark Colony. Every time I tried to play it, it crashed. You’d think it would have been better.Ĭrusader: No Remorse. You don’t have a Pentium? No prettier version of Mechwarrior 2 for you.ĭiscworld.
I think it came from another of those $1 spinner racks. Futuristic racer with more fog than a very foggy place. The switch to polygons and third person perspective wasn’t kind. I think I ended up playing this as much as Doom II, which is saying something. The sequel, Hexen, went on to be the more popular of the two, but I always loved Heretic more. Remember Myst? Yeah, just like that except more forgettable. There was probably a good reason I didn’t, though. It was a shooter with adventure elements, and I wish I’d put more time into it. I wonder if I’m confusing Bioforge with Cyberia 2. I have never played The Sims beyond 5 minutes.īioforge. Kind of nifty little racer where you could flip your vehicle over. This is the one where they really went nuts, loading you down with ammo so they could sic half a dozen cyberdemons on you at once. I seem to remember this being fairly awful.įinal Doom. It’s got a mean-looking guy with a gun and claws on the front, but the anatomically-impossible blow-up doll bimbo with metal nipple-covers over the hyper-inflated balloons attached to her front really sell the pandering.Ĭyberia 2: Resurrection.
I could research this, find out what it was. Still, for a “rare” game, you used to see these in $5 spinner racks of games on a regular basis. I can live with ugly, but I’d rather not argue when trying to accomplish anything. I really need to play this one of these days, but the controls are just so utterly terrible by today’s standards that I’ve yet to put in the time. *sigh* Why couldn’t it have been as pure, simple fun as its prequel? This was a fantastic revival for the series, but 3DO proceeded to beat it into the ground with multiple sequels that played identically. I wanted to like this series, but it wasn’t until GTA3 that I was able to really enjoy it. Super-fun, but I never did do much more than complete the shareware levels before running out of steam.
#Treasure planet battle at procyon steam start up issues update#
Any time someone wants to do a modern-day update is fine by me. Brutally tough and probably overrated, but the original is still a fun Build-engine FPSes.
