the best thread of 2016 by far

Sonatine is my boy, but this is funny as shit.

I've always had PCs, and Duke 3D was a fun game- but Macs had Marathon, which was actually much better. Bungie pioneered a lot of stuff in that game, like mouse look and dual wield.

This is A++++ material and saved the year 2016.

I was kind of disappointed in the ending but am hoping there will be a prequel?

Actually, Rise Of The Triad had these too - but they were released on exactly the same day.

Dec 21 - 1994.

First game I owned on PC.

Score 1 for Apogee.

I had Rise of the Triad as well. such a good game. Wolfsenstein on crack is what I called it. Was big into Doom series (still play Brutal Doom) and of course played the Duke Nukems. childhoooood.


I bought a compaq persario in 98 for playing doom on lans.

"Blood" was also solid. That was probably one of the first FPS games to introduce alternate fire. It was cool to be able to use the deo cans + lighter as a flamethrower, but then also use it as a grenade.

I want to say the first alternate fire was in Star Wars: Dark Forces in 1995. I remember that because during that winter of 1995/1996, John Carmack came on IRC channel #Quake and I asked him if his upcoming game Quake would have alternate fire, and he gave me a polite "no".

Rise of the Triad was created by id Software co-founder Tom Hall after he quit and went to work for George Broussard. I remember playing it, but don't remember loving it. It was re-released a couple years ago on Steam, which in proper Steam fashion, I bought on sale and have never played.

I've never played Dark Forces. I'll have to see if I can fire that up on DOSBox soon.

Wasn't really a big Quake fan. I had it and played the shit out of it, but for some reason I just found it to be not as smooth as Doom/Duke.

Triad definately hasn't aged well. I'm not sure if your version has been updated any, but the version I had was very buggy. These were the fucking days when you had to wait for a fan patch to be uploaded. Kids today have got it too good. I can remember having to wait 20 mins for R-Type to load off of casette on my C-64.
