I have very vivid memories of my brother purchasing a new graphics card, installing it and running this game. He hyped it up so much. The intro cinematic blew our minds. The game even more so.

Unreal
The original one. Not tournament.
I have a fear of sentient silver metallic blobs because of that game. Lol

To think I blindly bought it at a convention... I still have the amazing box it came in.

What? Who didn’t like Unreal? It was groundbreaking, a milestone of its time. In my area and peergroup, everybody loved it.

Yeah. Over time it got seriously overshadowed by Half Life, but back in the day? It was mind-blowing.

true. But in hindsight, both were awesome with different aspects. Half-Life had a much more long-lasting experience through its modding capabilities - and an outstanding story. Unreal was visually and technically beautiful and had a mind-blowing athmosphere - but of course a single player game isn’t as longlasting as Half-Life was. (I know it had multiplayer, but at least in my perspective this was not Unreal’s focus - which changed dramatically with Unreal Tournament)

I thought it was awful. The graphics and the 2d textures looked weird and the movement was absurd. It was unplayable. UT, on the other hand, was fantastic.

Interesting, how different people can look at things. But, calling it unplayable is really odd.
