I think TFTD is prone to that. Same thing happened to me my first attempt.

Is there any source port that actually retains the classic software mode look of Doom and allows you to configure the resolution as you want? You might want to give prBoom a try. I'm not thrilled of Doom ports that have to compensate with lens flares, either. My second choice for a port is …

And come to think of it, I remember the demo coming out during the school year, not in August as the questioner in that thread said.

Crusader: No Remorse demo

Strangely I haven't been able to find a download for this anywhere, although I definitely remember installing it from a PC Gamer CD way back in the day. Does anyone else remember that demo or actually have a copy of it?
Re: FPS games using a joypad
Posted on 2010-11-11, 14:32
I remember reading about some posts where the console joypad-jockeys boasting about how good they are using the joypads, and some even boast about defeating a keyboard-mouse combo user online, while playing a pc game with a joypad. Maybe they're good with the joypad. Or maybe they have played with …

It would be really neat to see a page comparing screenshots of the same games running on different cards. Especially for the early days of 3D cards, which I never had.

I might have the S3 version of MW2 if you are interested. Around Thanksgiving I will have time to find it.

The scene in System Shock 2 where you discover the refrigated locker full of the eggs of the Many really creeps me out.

I think the hands-down most memorable character in any DOS game is SHODAN.

My only Steam experience was bad as well, HL2 would not install. Tried three times and gave up. I had gotten it for free so didn't care too much.

I though of a few more... The Pandora Directive, because I had very high expectations but the story was unfollowable and plus everybody was putting Area 51 into their games and movies back then. Also No One Lives Forever 2, because the writing was so far below the original and respawning enemies …
