No big deal. Thanks for trying.

Old video, shows lots of gameplay though. Obviously a terrible player and pre-pre-pre-minus-alpha build but, well, it is what it is. Sometimes one will be in the mood for an utterly bog-standard iso-RPG set in a snowy world, and this might be it.

A squad based FPS using the Marathon 2 engine.

you control a squad of marines and wipe out extremist groups. bought this in the bargin bin for $10 back in ~1999. The intro song is by a band named Death. Years later I was at a used media store and found a CD by a band named Death. Bought it based soley on the name and album cover. The game had somewhat escaped my memory so i was pleasantly surprised when the intro to Damage Inc came up on my recently purchased CD.

I really think this game was ahead of its time. You choose a squad of marines from like 8 or so guys. they each have their own stats and dialogue. I always chose Metal and Banzai as a kid. You can give them orders like "Search and Destroy", which along with the title "Damage Inc", is another Metallica reference. 

 

This Tweet from Nightdive Studios says their remastered version of the 90s FPS Turok now has a level editor and Steam Workshop integration. That's good of them.

Disclaimer: I've never played Turok. Those who did play it back in the day might like the remaster and the ability to make maps though. 

Whoa that is a pretty sweet thing to hear. I wonder how much in depth you go with it. 

ah, i remember turok
played it in '99 and some time after that i lost the cd

ages ago...
i remember bridges, lots of rope bridges ; for some reason

Anyone played this? Just bought it in Steam Winter Sale and found it quite a pleasant retro FPS game.

A review:

It's as boring as it looks. Not sure why these retro fps devs opt to emulate wolfenstien 3d rather than, say, doom. 

I think this is why retroblazer failed to get kickstarted. 

Another POS using the term retro to correctly identify itself as crude crap. 

A sci-fi Dark Souls type of game, looks neat.

I can just picture the meeting where that game was conceived: A bunch of producers sat around a large table, looking around blankly at each other for an hour. Occasionally one of them looked off into the distance thoughtfully, then opened his mouth as if to say something, but then sighed and had another sip of his coffee instead. Eventually it was lunchtime, and yet still not a word had been said. One producer - the hungriest-looking and most eager to be the first one down the pub - finally broke the silence. "Fuck it, let's just do Dark Souls but with robots". 

Ha ha, yeah, though to be fair the same can be said for a vast majority of the games out there. If id hadn't copied Maze War, we wouldn't have had the masterpieces that are Doom, Doom II and Quake...
And The Surge still looks cool. 

I laughed as I another small part of me died inside. 

I type I good. 

Quite. Whilst I'll never stop indulging in the relentless floccinaucinihilipilification of "clone" games, I'll admit that id's decision to do a Maze War knockoff may have led to one or two good things further down the line. 

So, I had to google that and much to my surprise, it is a real word! I thought it was raxacoricofallapatorian or something.

What a worthy successor to limbo. Just finished playing through yesterday and I was even more impressed than I thought I would be. If any of y'all haven't picked that up with the winter sale yet, you should. 

Where is Quake ? 

The lack of Quake is disturbing!
