I played it through in single player with this engine a few years ago: http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/ Looks like it has networking support although I don't know what to do with that, why don't we use IPX?

Back in the late 90's we were far too poor to ever own a pc, so I dug around in the airport garbage and lugged a heavy-rear end PC back home. It was a 486SX with 40 Megs of RAM and a 400MB hard drive. I got a monitor from my cousin who had a closet full of them and surfed AOL on a 9600 baud modem for 4 years.

Descent was tits. I loved how disorienting it was, having unmoored itself from traditional gravity/coordinate systems and making you think in three dimensions with a wireframe map you could rotate around and no real sense of "up". It was innovative and gave you a real sense of accomplishment once you mastered moving around in it. Then the sequels turned it back into a standard fly-around shooter with regular up/down gravity and everything. I couldn't believe so many game franchises could so easily lose sight of what made them special to begin with.

Denim Dude posted:my first modem. 28kbps us robotics external. i fondly remember waiting like 5 minutes for a poorly photoshopped picture of cindy crawford sitting on a huge dong. When I upgraded from internal 2400 to 14.4k I wanted an external usr sportster so bad, an extra box! with blinky lights! I had to settle for an internal sportster though, the external costed way more.  What did you all use for terminal emulator/bbses? I started with procomm then telemate, then I tried to like communique, then along came terminate, it owned, 8k zmodem nigga. (all these were the dos versions, i did try procomm for win31 at one point but it sucked even worse than the dos ver) Also I've seen several people mention downloading nudie-lady gifs and watching them dl line by line, did any of the terminal emulators do that natively? I can't remember, I do remember at one point I had a tsr that would detect incoming gif data and would display it line by line as it dl'ed. Anyone else ever be on the phone with a friend and be all like "ok you type ata, I'll type atd and we hang up the phones"? warezing 90s style.

some of those screenshots reminded me of Stunts 4D Sports Driving I don't know what made it 4D but whatever    It's aged a hell of a lot worse than 2D games from the same year but the level editor was the stuff of dreams

(all these were the dos versions, i did try procomm for win31 at one point but it sucked even worse than the dos ver) Started out with some crappy thing that came with PC Tools, then used Telix for a while before Telemate. I think I didn't want to upgrade to Terminate because I'd spent so much time configuring Telemate with external download tools and scripts so I could use it to remote control one PC from another via serial. When I say external download tools I mean: Moby/GSZ, MPt, BiModem, HS/Link, HydraCom, Lynx, ZedZap, IceZmodem, CE-XYZ, GIFLink. I think the benefits of some of those were you could upload and download from the BBS at the same time, maybe faster transfers, maybe chat to the SysOp at the same time? GIFLink obviously let you view Did anyone download mail from their BBS in QWK or Blue Wave format or anything? I never got into it much except when I wanted to archive interesting things.

Hopefully none of these are repeats. Let's go a bit further back into PC.. err IBM COMPATIBLE.. gaming: Sopwith  Alley Cat  Flightmare: "Fight off a band of vandals and punks with your airplane before they reach your city. One of the earliest shareware games, you pilot a prop plane that is represented in "3D" -- you can see (and manipulate) your plane in both the horizontal and vertical viewpoints. Refuel with your blimp, but don't waste too much time..." (see the picture above has side and top views - PC "3D gaming" in 1984)  Jet by subLOGIC, who also made a game called Flight Simulator which they later licensed to Microsoft. That hangar is imprinted in my brain. Not quite so far back:  Destroyer: I didn't really know how to play it but I enjoyed waiting for an air attack and then manning the AA guns.  Moria, a roguelike like NetHack, which is probably more well-known but isn't quite as old.

I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. You wore a talking space suit. The only other time traveling adventure game I can think of is Journeyman Project but I know that isn't it.

Shiiiit, I played Hexen 1, but it has "scripting errors" so that the game basically breaks without cheats if you gently caress up at certain points of time. I'm down with playing 2 if there is an active multiplayer component since I never played it
