/vr/ - Retro Games

I love episodes with levels designed to be playable in pistol start. That's the core of old FPS games, if you die, you start again at the start of the level with a pistol start, no savescumming required, actually, no saving at all required. Modern Doom ports completely ruined this spirit though by having an autosave at the start of the level which you go back to (with all your weapons and hp you had when starting the level) if you die.

Anyway that's why when me and my friends made the episode Metropolitan Mayhem for Duke3D we designed it to be do-able in pistol start for each map.
