These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.
Oni is so good.
I seriously don’t think this game gets enough credit. It basically invented the combat system used in a bunch of AAA titles today. Like the Batman games. Sure they have been refined and improved it, but it was revolutionary at the time.
I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child
I still sometimes hear music from the game used in videos
Klaymens Theme is an all time banger
That game is so good, one of my early gaming memories
Blade of Darkness was kickass
Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It’s amazing that it is in such good condition.
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.
Everybody way oh!
absolutely loved Oni, still one of my favorites ever.
Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.
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…?)
That’s interesting, I didn’t know it was the basis for the Rage engine. Thanks.
Oni still had better hand to hand combat gameplay than all of those games though 😅
Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.
I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.
Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea
Wolf’s logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.
Their logos and packaging were designed by focus2 in Dallas, TX. I used to work there. Fun fact: The lead designer for Return to Wolfenstein project was flying back from Hong Kong, from a press check/approval of the metal tin packaging, on 9/11. He was stuck out of the country for a while. Really cool guy. But I’m not sure focus2 was involved in Rage. They were decimated by the economy after 9/11, never did really recover from that. I think they had gone under by then.
I can imagine they dragged that influence for a while, retouching old logos and keeping this style. I singled Rage out because it’s different and aim to be edgy in comparison to classic games, yet it standed out on a shelf.
omg the Neverhood.
I still use the song “Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong” from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.
My favorite was always “dum da dum doi doi.”
Everybody waaaaiiill
Potaties, love

Sharing your cd key, are you now?
Gunman Chronicles is unironically great. Granted, I love games with ludicrous numbers of weapons, but the fact that the weapons have a bazillion firing modes is fun.
I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.
I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can’t pilot when you’re colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.
Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it’s place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.
Real life barely feels like you’re being rewarded anymore imo.
The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.
There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.
Yup skullmonkeys is great. It’s in a box with my Game sharked PS1 for playing a copy of Bushido Blade once a decade.
