Soldier of Fortune 2 isn't retro and was actually quite popular back in its heyday. Blood is definitely a bit obscure nowadays but sold decently enough to get a sequel and has a decent following among retro fps fans.

Now for obscure FPS games by Raven, look no further than CyClones. It was their first attempt at a Doom-type game before id just straight up gave them the Doom engine to make Heretic.

Doesn't it have truly three-dimensional buildings, though?

so what defines the line between first person adventure and fps?
controls? pace?

That's definitely an FPS. Normality is not. Realms of the Haunting... who knows?

This game is great. Think Blackbird was my first waifu.

I highly recommend shogo mad and gunman chronicles if they havent been recommended already. someone suggested those games to play in a thread a while back and i thought both were excellent games.

theres a reason nobody knows about it. the games shit

[Anonymous No.5007939]

The Amiga had a couple of interesting FPS that aren't that well known. With games like Nemac VI, Gloom, Breathless, Genetic Species, Fears, Trapped or Alien Breed 3D and of course Death Mask , one of the worst shooters ever. When I have more time maybe I'll post some WebM's.

But there are also the proto FPS games, that came out before Wolfenstein or Doom. And I'm talking about games like Corporation or the ones using the Freescape Engine, that was also available on 8-bit machines. I.e Castle Master, Driller, Total Eclipsr, etc.

it was pretty sensational up until one of the later levels (the maze where you need to collect brains) that bit rekt me and I never got past it. Even maps and walkthroughs didn't help.

My personal favorite part of the entire game is when you're in a gallery where all the pictures have been torn out of the frames - the voice acting when you click on the pictures is so superb:

>click on a picture
(flat, inquisitive tone) "Looks like someone's taken to this canvas with a knife..."

>click on another picture
(very unsure, questioning tone) "The CANVAS is missing..."

>click on another picture
(very flat, detatched tone) "Another missing canvas"

>click on another picture
(surprised, intrigued tone) "yet aNOTHER missing canvas!?"

The contrast between the super flat deliver of "another missing canvas" and the ramped up, incredibly surprised tone of "yet a*nother* missing canvas" really gets me every time.

I wish there was a video that showed just this one section and voice acting.

Some of the charge up weapons are ingenious too - really cool way to handle unlimited ammo weapons.

Its a stunning one. Wolf3D really cant hold up against it.

I guess I'm a little too late for this but:
>Hey you!
I recently played through this game on normal and then on the hardest difficulty. I even made it to the very last part of the game, but could't beat the endboss-timebomb thing.
I really liked the unique experience and especially the feature, that you can't save during the missions. AND it's really tough.

Lower spec computers couldn't handle doom yet, but the owners still wanted to get in on it. It was basically a target towards budget models.

Not everyone could program like John Carmack. It sounds stupid, but it really is one of the reasons.

Other 3D attempts at the time were from companies more known for flight simulators, like Ultima Underworld by Looking Glass, and these games show their roots.

It's surprisingly good for a video game developed by a cereal company. But it's quite short, very easy, and not especially well-designed. It's okay but the gameplay is nothing special.

Wheels!, which is still being sold today apparently
>Wheels! (Power wheelchair simulation training software and more!)
>While Joystick Trainer, above, works with the physical and cognitive skills of moving a joystick, Wheels is a fully immersive 3D action game, designed specifically for joystick and other alternative input devices. It is very forgiving, has incremental levels, fun monsters, great sound effects and music, and important feedback for power wheelchair training.
Quite educational. Only $59 right now as well, I think it was $79 a couple decades ago.

Does anyone remember an old fps game which took place entirely in underground dirt tunnels?
I remember playing something like that but I can't find it at all

[Anonymous No.5012794]

I'll admit to only learning about this game through a blog that posts old videogame adverts. Imagine getting Fortress of Dr. Radiaki for christmas instead of Doom, or RotT, or anything really. I kinda wanna try it myself. I swear to god if any of you contrarian fucks defend this heap I'm gonna shit my own shit

I have a certain love for these old giant HUDs. Makes me feel like I'm in some big powerful machine or power armour or something.

A smaller game screen meant better performance, or at least less constant jarring chugging. It sorta stuck around for a bit as a 'design decision' even after it was no longer necessary. Devs sticking to what they knew, I guess.
