The second was Acid Tetris, and watching me play a Tetris variant of any sort is like taking acid... so enjoy! This is the ONLY Tetris game I ever play, haha. It plays really fast and has demoscene music, pretty much. I ended up having to manually rip one of the songs because it was a modified …

I think the 3D sound stuff in 226f is more for EAX users than A3D users. But one of the more annoying changes I noticed is how the doppler effect is handled. You have to go back even older to get back the reverb that you're supposed to be hearing as set in the original maps back when the game first …

You can find a bunch of different patch versions here . I use 226f which is the last official one. 226f is really not recommended, even Unreal Gold is sketchy at best. 225f should be the patch to use on vintage systems running Voodoo cards. 226f will throw a bogus assertion failed when trying to …

One thing's for sure, this should be a lot easier to figure out once 3.5 is out of beta and ready to roll! :B I'm very much excited for this because I think Godot is hopefully going to use Vulkan and the Vulkan driver for Intel Graphics on Linux has gotten a lot of surprising bug fixes when Mesa 22 …

The thing you mentioned about Godot and shaders is something I've been experiencing while playing Cruelty Squad. Which is weird and stupid because you'd think Mesa's own shader cache mechanism would circumvent this problem, as it compiles the shaders and saves the compiled result to your local …

There's a lot of UT2003 mods I played that I remember a lot but can no longer find said versions of anylonger; Frag Ops in particular. And the very early releases of Troopers: Dawn of Destiny. There's also a lot of UT99 mods I played over the years that are also not so easy to find: GODZ, Pear Man, …

Speaking of which: Radix. Radix was fun. I shall be talking more about Radix in the future. The interesting thing about Radix, because its rendering engine and map design is similiar to Doom... The person behind DelphiDoom has been working on making a game engine recreation to run Radix natively on …

I'm not sure of anything like "Resource Hacker" but capable of working with NE type executables. (Resource Hacker complains and refuses NE type executables) Assuming there is one, it's probably possible to inject the menu item itself with such a utility. Probably could also be made to show up with a …

Speaking of doom, I also ended up playing a game that wasn't a game at all in Doom4Vanilla. Of all the DeHackED stuff, REKKER and Batman Doom are rather interesting to look at as well as this. There's also Vesper but that's for the new "MBF21" that DSDA-Doom springboarded into action, but that's …

This weeks scripted video was another Worthwhile DOS Game to add to the 100 list. This time it was two of them! Hell to Pay and Perdition's Gate! I'd love to give these maps a try someday. Kinda funny they were treading a legal gray area selling them as commercial products without a agreement with …

Neon Tiger's stage theme in Mega Man X 3 could count as this even though Capcom stated it being a strange coincidence. Also there is a brief nod to Unreal's temple theme in one of the Vigilante 8 N64 tracks, but I dunno' if this counts as what you're talking about.

Internet Archive just leads me into a bogus loop so I assume the crawler never archived the download, Google returns 0 results.

NAM would be hilarious to play in co-op, assuming the lame networking in Build doesn't fall apart and desync. I actually like NAM more than WWII GI, but it's still not like, the best game ever. It's a acquired taste though.

Has someone mentioned Interstate 82? I was so stoked to get it and while it was OK it was pretty underwhelming... I only played the demo, while I like that it ran on the same tech as Heavy Gear 2... I hated the fact it was reduced to "Twisted Metal" style gameplay where everything is a health bar, …

I thought UT3 was fine as a UT game (all things considered). It did definitely have launch issues and technical issues regarding the Gamespy account dependency though (later resolved with the Steam release), and UE3's new way of defining addons (install into your documents and add long explicit …

The only reason I got into UT2003 and UT2004 was for the mods, I never really cared about the base game. That's still the case now. I still wouldn't mind if anyone wanted to do anything UT99 related with me if you can put up with the fact I have played these games for years and I have a very bizzare …
