Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

              My thoughts were similar: "No game needs to look better than this". If a game looks as good as Unreal and has good gameplay. Then that's it, that's a game I want to play. (Then Minecraft came and screwed with all my beliefs)

                War2 was my favorite game on all time. Back in the days before battle.net, when it was like the wild west, and you had to use an interface that created a tunnel to play of the IPX/SPX netware protocol used for every game's LAN multiplayer option (until, of course, Command & Conquer showed up with built in TCP/iP connectivity, heaven it was). I miss the good old days of Kali.net and Heat and MS Zone and Mplayer and (later) Quakespy/Gamespy. Steam doesn't live up to the fun and enjoyment these tools brought.

                That was me with the original Warcraft intro for me, on a Quadra 800

                When I saw the Warcraft II intro, I freaked. Out.

                    We spent hours playing this in college over the LAN. Next to the original Half-Life, this was my favorite FPS experience. I used to love that sniper rifle; if you got a head shot, your opponents' head would pop off and bounce a few times. There was no better satisfaction than executing one of those head shots, then hearing your buddy 2 dorm rooms down the hall yell, "Fuck!"

                    Such a crazy coincidence that I just installed that game yesterday after not playing it for years. I used to play it avidly for hours every day. To this day I have not encountered a game as fun as the original unreal's multiplayer.

                    I started with UT, and yes, UT was generally a better experience than U1 MP. That's not to take away from Unreal MP, or what it did for video games, but UT99 was the absolute shit when it came to online competitive FPS's.

                    everytime you heard "monster kill" in counter strike mods or somewhere else. that sound was ripped from UT99.

                    UT99 still has active tdm, duel and ctf comunities. I stopped playing somwhere around 2007 when I moved over to UT3.

                    tl;dr: ut99 is still awesome

                    You can play Morpheus for hours and not get tired is how amazing that level design is. Rocket Launcher + Low gravity fun for hours. Plus the UT99 demo is so small that you could download it anywhere in 10 mins and start playing, ideal for school computers to start a lan game in the class while your teacher thinks everyone is doing work. Boom! headshot

                        Yep. they ripped so many sounds from ut99 and quakes 1-3.

                        UT99 and 04 are awesome.

                        03 and ut3 not so much imo. ut03 was like a beta of 04, and ut3 went too gears of war in art direction, and took out some modes.

                                    From 2004-2009 I had an annual tradition of playing through this game on Co-op with my college roommate. I remember still being amazed by how good the game could look if you set all the graphics settings properly. Even now, this is still one of my favorite games.

                                    Unfortunately I have never played all the way through "The Return to Na Pali" and Unreal 2 was a pathetic joke in comparison to the original. I have always wished that there was a true successor to Unreal.

                                        Back then the only real choice with staying power was some variant of the original Voodoo Graphics board. The S3 Virge was doomed from the word go, the Matrox Mystique was peppy but lacking in features, the Rendition V1000 had a nice feature set but onchip z-buffering made it suffer a substantial performance hit, PowerVR's cards took a lot of finagling to work properly in OpenGL and Direct3D (and lacked blending modes), 3DLabs' Permedia line were relatively slow and lacked some blending modes, and ATI's 3D cards prior to the Rage Pro were slow and glitchy.

                                        Good grief, the S3 Virge was terrible.

                                        "Hey, Virge, I need you to display these OpenGL graphics..."

                                        "OpenGL? LOL, what's that?"

                                        "Okay, how about these Glide graphics."

                                        "Oh, Glide, why didn't you say so? Yeah, I don't work with Glide. Have you met my friend Direct3D?"

                                        "Fine, please display these Direct3D graphics, then."

                                        "Sure thing. Just gotta switch your monitor's video modes a few times. Aaannd done. Oh wait, I forgot these background elements, I'mma just display them in front of everything else, 'kay?"

                                        "What about the dynamic lighting?"

If you really want to try and get me to display more than that, I guess I'll just have to crash back to your desktop... in QVGA resolution, with corrupted graphics on the left side of the screen. Happy now? Maybe next time, you'll leave well enough alone."

                                        S3 Virge, the official graphics card of H. P. Lovecraft.

                                        Once upon a time there was a miniGL wrapper released for the Virge, just for Quake and Quake II. It basically needed to run in 320x240 or 400x300 to deliver noticeable speed improvements over software rendering, and the framerate went up as you disabled certain visual features. Bilinear filtering, dynamic lighting, just turn 'em off, and it'd finally start to sing in its dismal way. What's hilarious is that it wasn't much more than an OpenGL --> Direct3D wrapper, so you could take ANY 3D card from that era (ATI Rage II+, Matrox Mystique, etc.), use the wrapper, and try to force GLQuake to run on the blighted things. What's really hilarious is that the minimum recommended CPU to try this out at all was a K6-2/266, a processor that didn't have trouble running software Quake in 512x384 at 30+ fps to begin with!

                                        The Virge serves as an object lesson not to bolt a half-assed 3D part onto a solid 2D core and assume that it will take care of itself. I still remember the look of disappointment on a friend's face when his brand new Pentium II 400 with 128 MB RAM and an 8 MB AGP Virge could barely run Shogo. Several of my friends and I chipped in some money and snagged a Voodoo Banshee for him. I seriously thought he was going to kiss us.

                                        For however little it's worth, the Virge port of Descent II was a pretty heroic effort. It was even (kind of) playable on a 2 MB card.

                                        In my experience, giving the S3 Virge a graphics wrapper was like giving a high-school student a French phrase book. You might get something similar to what you were looking for, but it's going to take a while, and it won't come out right at all.

                                          I had a voodoo1 accelerator board (that worked together with the normal graphics card). This thing was the shit for years back then!

                                          (Voodoo3 was quite nice for some time, too), but then geForce came...

                                          I had the same card for a while. 4MB graphics memory, I think. The damn thing handled anti-aliasing better than nearly every card I had after that for years!

                                          I remember getting my Riva TNT2 and firing up Unreal for another playthrough. It was definitely one of the most magical moments in my PC gaming days, watching that castle flythrough running at 1024x768 (the best my monitor could handle). Oh, the beauty!

                                          Man, Riva TNT2. I had a 450mhz Gateway that came with that installed, and played Tribes with crappy software rendering not knowing I had a 3D accelerator. It was a magical day when I discovered that I had the best card out of all my friends.

                                            I was rocking a Voodoo 3000GT in the true glory days of PC. Good fucking times bro. Unreal Tournament, Half Life, Rogue Spear, Thief, The Sims (yeah, I went there).

                                            I didn't have any friends who gave a shit about what I did, but had anyone who knew anything knew that I was rocking a Microsoft Force Feedback Pro, Pentium 3 and Voodoo 3000GT with my X-Wing Alliance and Star Wars Pod Racer, maybe I wouldn't have been alone so much.

                                            I'm fairly certain I was the only 14 year old in a 20 mile radius of my hometown that blew his savings on a Voodoo 3dfx card. No regrets.

                                            The Voodoo3 3000, you mean? Yeah, that was a hell of a card. I had a V3 2000 that overclocked to 3000 speeds without breaking a sweat, and I must have kept that thing in service for the next seven years before it died in glorious battle at a LAN party, playing a UT99 mod. "Good times" is an understatement.

                                                Matrox just never got on the 3D train back then. They had something fantastic in the Millennium, that was THE 2D card to have for VESA mode games and Windows desktop apps.

                                                They just never had the right feature set in 3D. I remember looking for games to support ANY of the supposed 3D functionality of the Millennium. It was sad.

                                                        I used to swear by 3DFX, I was so sad to see them go. The Voodoo 3000 was the first official gaming video card I owned. Spent something like $300 bucks on it, when I was in my early teens.

                                                        Also, there used to be a gaming journal called 3DFX, when they went belly up, I really felt that it was a bad blow to PC gaming and probably the first sign on the shift to console gaming for the really cool new stuff.

                                                          They were thick, well-written and had developer interviews. They always had quality engaging covers. It was a very mature magazine. Somewhere along the line the quality tanked. They changed the name to the shorter, hipper Next Gen. They started putting polygonal boobs on the covers. The content reduced and the ad space increased. Then poof, gone. It was really sad to see that happen.

                                                                (Just googled it, the programm still exists and looks awesome. Wow.)

                                                                                  Then, I watched it again. Halfway through my little brother started complaining so I pushed him over and told him to shut it.

                                                                                    Yes. Playstation was originally a CD adaptor for the SNES, that ultimately failed.

                                                                                    Yes. E.T. was one of the biggest commercial video game failure in history, and facilitated the Great Crash that nearly wiped out the video game industry in the '80s.
                                                                                    Yes. A Doom II mod was created for limited use of teaching tactics and team work for the military.
                                                                                    and Yes. Those crazy senators!

How ground breaking Unreal was is seriously unappreciated, probably because it was quickly succeeded by Half-life but it still doesn't get enough love. And the soundtrack - Holy-fucking-shit it's good.

The music on that map added a ton of ambiance as well, but it was the huge open map design with the skybox that blew my brains out of my head... Never seen that before Unreal.

                                                                                        UT2004 is for me, to this day, my absolute favourite arena multiplayer shooter.

                                                                                        Q3 may have been more important, UT might have started the legacy and there are probably other ones that need to be mentioned... but there is no other game than UT2004 that has had so much content, so much breadth and so much quality as this game.

                                                                                        So much to remember from the time when it was at its peak of popularity... Countless hours in Double Domination on great maps like DOM-Core, DOM-OutRigger or DOM-SeppukuGorge. Blasting away in Onslaught on maps like ONS-CBP2-Pasargadae, ONS-Crossfire or even good old ONS-Torlan.

                                                                                        So many CTF maps that I don't even remember the names of any more, the wealth of DM maps that one got to experience, with my all-time favourites probably being DM-UCMP2-Churn and DM-1on1-Lea... but it's so hard to pick, DM-UCMP3-Glorian would probably have to be there too.

                                                                                        If there's one thing that I'd love more than Epic releasing some new Unreal Tournament or new shooter, then it would be to create an UT2004-Live, compatible with external dedicated servers. To breath life into what I think was a huge community around a huge and truly fantastic game.

                                                                                        EDIT: Oh man, I forgot about Assault and Bombing Run... the hours can not be counted.

I would have gladly started playing TDM again if there were actual people that wanted to play. Everyone was into tactical shooters by then though. :*(

                                                                                                        An 'underrated' game is one that was fantastic but got mediocre reviews. That is what underrated means.

Just last night, I found my copy of EGM #200, which despite being published only just 5 years ago, still was full of hilarity. The Xbox 360 and PS3 had just been released. People talking about how great Perfect Dark Zero was going to be. Fun stuff.

                                                                                                                    Game magazines were running early previews of it and the screenshots were absolutely unbelievable. No other game was being previewed that came close to the visually pleasing sight. It was unreal.

                                                                                                                    Many people look back at the original design for Unreal and consider that the past, but the Unreal engine is at the point now where that old design is now technically possible.
