    Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.

    source
    • DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Rockstar acquired Oni to get it’s engine and killed its sequel because they got what they wanted

      source
      • TachyonTele@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.

        Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

    • DWin@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.

      Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea

    Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.

      And that soundtrack was so good

        Bandcamp link here - one of my all-time favourite VG soundtracks. Never heard anything like it before or since!

    I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child

      That game is so good, one of my early gaming memories

      Klaymens Theme is an all time banger

      I still sometimes hear songs from the game used in videos

  • SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.

    source
    • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.

      source
      • anomnom@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yup skullmonkeys is great. It’s in a box with my Game sharked PS1 for playing a copy of Bushido Blade once a decade.

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

    source
  • cybervseas@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven’t played it, Oni was a favorite of mine from the era. 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.

    • False@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Heard it felt unfinished

      source
      • shyguyblue@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

    omg the Neverhood.

    • glorkon@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I still use the song “Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong” from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.

    absolutely loved Oni, still one of my favorites ever.

  • MossyFeathers@pawb.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    source
  • Classy@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Fuck yeah Neverhood!

    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

    If it’s on a cd, it ain’t old yet.

      Your computer still has a CD drive. A retro

      • TachyonTele@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I didn’t know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It’s practically hidden.

    • essell@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Exactly.

      Old games come in large cardboard boxes to accommodate the manual, with disks rattling around inside.

      And in one case, a vacuum packed t-shirt too!

      source
      • Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Ahhh the manuals… and the mail order hint guides. Those were the days.

    Oni is so good.

    source
    • MIDItheKID@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I seriously don’t think this game gets enough credit. It basically invented the combat system used in a bunch of AAA titles today. Like the Batman games. Sure they have been refined and improved it, but it was revolutionary at the time.

    I never thought I would see blade of darkness again. Thank you for sharing.

    • Chef_Boyardee@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      One of my favorite games. One time I was able to dismember a guy completely before his body hit the ground.

      source
  • Acidbath@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    source
    • Arkhive@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

      source
  • TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Man, my brother and I were obsessed with the Neverhood back in the day. That game was so weirdly satisfying

    source
    • happysplinter@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I swear one day I’ll beat it.

        The day I figured out the mouse cheese puzzle was a major milestone of my childhood

  • poolhelmetinstrument@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    source
    • Mesophar@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.

    Oni! <3

    source
  • sifr@retrolemmy.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    source
  • And009@lemmynsfw.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Eidos, I know that name… Anyone remember commandos?

    source
    • farcaller@fstab.sh ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      There were quite a few games using the same formula (and improving on it), to the point where I feel Desperados would be my favorite in that genre, not Commandos itself.

      I still remember having to reparation my drive and reinstall windows, upgrading from fat16, because commandos wouldn’t fit on either partition.

      source
      • And009@lemmynsfw.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Going through Desperados 3 after wastelands 3 myself. Shadow tactic next.

        For me Xcom mechanics is goat

        source
    • phoneymouse@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Loved commandos. They’re making a new commandos. There is a demo out. Probably launched next year.

    The Never Hood is so good.

    Blade of Darkness was kickass

      Is kickass

    I don’t remember that Oni game by Bungie. That cover art looks nice.

  • sirico@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Igi, Deus ex, NASCAR 2, there’s a lot of milestone games there

    source
  • BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Wait, those games came on CD? I thought they came as ISOs with a nocd_patch.exe

    Wolf’s logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.

    source
    • FeloniousPunk@lemmy.today ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

      source
      • andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I can imagine they dragged that influence for a while, retouching old logos and keeping this style. I singled Rage out because it’s different and aim to be edgy in comparison to classic games, yet it standed out on a shelf.
