Rogue15 Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 I wish i could find Dark Forces for my playstation... A few months ago i played wolfenstein3D for my first time... i nearly got a headache, i felt very umm....disoriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oRaptoRo Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 lol! Youngins! It's a shame most people who play these games nowadays haven't had the chance to experience 4 player doom. That was pure bliss, no game has quite captured the feeling of excitement that Doom Multiplayer had. But I digress! Dark Forces is great, I never did finish Jedi Knight, but Jedi Outcast picks up the torch and carries it with pride. Great games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Closest thing I played to doom was Eradicator by Accolade (now Infogrames). That game was so cool... Also, Descent. That was my first computer game I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt_Dancer Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Never liked Descent. Doom however... a gem. I recall when my friend, who now makes games for the XBox, was raving about this game that was about to come out... the game was going to be like Doom but totally in 3D. It was going to be called Quake. Hehehe... I thought it was a weird name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashFearless Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 I still think it's a weird name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupO'Coffee Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 this brings me to another question: who came up with the names for ID games? Doom, Quake... words that don't have to do a thing with first person shooters, weapons or other things related to that... ok, doom has something to do with the game, but quake? maybe the guys were stoned while inventing the names, that would explain a bunch of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Yeah, DF and JK (and MotS) are still good games today. The graphics don't really bother me that much. JK wasn't even the best-looking game when it was released (Quake II had the edge, which was released in the same year), but in terms of gameplay it was unparalelled. It was the first FPS game I played that had... 1. Secondary fire for weapons 2. NPCs to protect 3. Strong and compelling storyline 4. Choice of 1st/3rd person 5. A decent melee weapon (the lightsaber) 6. Force Powers - which introduced a whole new element to the gameplay 7. Real actors in the cut scenes. 8. Vast (and vertical) levels 9. A choice of two endings dependent on your actions 10. A timed level that swayed and had you walking on walls (the falling ship). It's a pity a lot of games still fall short of those kinds of innovations all in one package even now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havikar Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 i have windows 98 still. any help for that ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY_jmr1 Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 contact your sound card mfg. 98 should be easy to make work, but will need some work for it. GL ps: you could try and pick up a used soundcard from a used computer store..... but depending on what kind of computer you have, it might not do any good.
