Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share.

Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.
- One day I will pick that game up for the 8th time and actually finish it.
- It was one of the early games I got for the PS2.
  I didn't really like it tbh. Ammo was way too sparse. Don't think I ever finished it.

The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.
- There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.
  
  Yup skullmonkeys is great. It’s in a box with my Game sharked PS1 for playing a copy of Bushido Blade once a decade.

Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven't played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. I don't think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.
- Heard it felt unfinished
  
  I remember the levels being copy/paste rooms, but things like bathrooms and break rooms were absent. It didn't really feel like a real world people live in.
- I didn't know there was a jewel case version. Mine is in a DVD case.

Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It's amazing that it is in such good condition.

Gunman Chronicles is unironically great. Granted, I love games with ludicrous numbers of weapons, but the fact that the weapons have a bazillion firing modes is fun.

I remember playing Project IGI, that one was hard. Die and you have to redo the entire mission, brutal.
- Was the same with the first Hitman

I never thought I would see blade of darkness again. Thank you for sharing.
- One of my favorite games. One time I was able to dismember a guy completely before his body hit the ground.

omg the Neverhood.
- I still use the song "Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong" from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.
  
  My favorite was always "dum da dum doi doi."

Omg, thanks for this. I was looking for the name of Gunman and Oni. Played them when I was younger and forgot what they were called.
- Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.

I didnt know oni was on pc. Ive been playing it recently on ps2 and let me say the movement in that game is amazing.
- I recently went through getting it to run on Linux. It’s one of the only Bungie games I haven’t played. Shockingly in depth combat, I’m enjoying it, but I’m bad at combo based fighting games, so I’m playing it in very bite sized pieces.

Wolf's logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.
- Their logos and packaging were designed by focus2 in Dallas, TX. I used to work there. Fun fact: The lead designer for Return to Wolfenstein project was flying back from Hong Kong, from a press check/approval of the metal tin packaging, on 9/11. He was stuck out of the country for a while. Really cool guy. But I’m not sure focus2 was involved in Rage. They were decimated by the economy after 9/11, never did really recover from that. I think they had gone under by then.

Man, my brother and I were obsessed with the Neverhood back in the day. That game was so weirdly satisfying
- I swear one day I'll beat it.

I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.
I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can't pilot when you're colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.
Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it's place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.
Real life barely feels like you're being rewarded anymore imo.

Looove Dues Ex. I just looked up The Neverhood, and it looks so interesting. Definitely going to need to watch a long play of that.

I can't believe someone else got gunman chronicles. Although mine looks more like a half life cover than yours.
Rtcw is also my goto memory whenever someone mentions Wolfenstein. The modded 64 player servers were a blast despite the lag.

These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.

I dont't think I've ever played an eidos game that actually worked and ran out of the box. Such a bad experience.
FF7 was hot garbage
