If you weren't able to buy the "remastered" version of Mars 3D, maybe I can interest you in getting yourself an anniversary re-release of (in)famous Amiga Doom clone, Fears? https://www.ami64.com/product-page/fears-25th-anniversary-edition-amiga-disk Actually the price seems to be quite reasonable for shelf candy like this...

I used to have this for my CD32, it was ok but if I'm ever buying it again I expect some fixes, this just seems like a straight re-release... I might still buy it though.

For whatever reason this weekend I went down the rabbit hole of checking out all the different (DOS) versions of Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny that exist out in the wild, since apparently every publisher id Software worked with published their own builds. One thing I noticed is that the infamously smarmy manual copy protection in Spear of Destiny is often bypassed in various ways in subsequent CD releases. The 1998 Activision release in particular appears to be a rebuilt-from-source version with the protection removed outright. A couple of things came up though, and I'm curious if anyone knows: 1. Spear of Destiny in the id Anthology is the "original" v1.4 version with copy protection intact. But as far as I know the printed manual isn't included in the anthology? Or was it? Or did everyone know the various backdoors by this point? 2. Multiple SoD CD releases use a disc-based copy protection method where the ISO filesystem is split across two data tracks. See this Redump entry. Does anyone know what name(s) this protection went under?

BisterdDave posted:How is this? I haven't played Half-Life since it first came out. Really good in my opinion. Xen is WAAAAAAAAY longer but has some Unreal feeling on some of the levels and much better compared to the original. The problem is that, if you don't like Black Mesa's Xen, it'll be a long torture for you, if you like the new style, you'll enjoy all the new gimmicks.

Supposedly the Age of Hell demo will be out fairly soon and in preparation they've launched a Patreon page and released some more video. https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-age-of-hell-total-conversion-for-doom-ii/news/upcoming-demo-and-patreon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21az9tJQrHo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1UyDRSgel4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL1Uo-7jJIQ Looks slaughtery all right, which I won't pretend doesn't curb my interest.

I think Black Mesa is a bad remake of HL1. Multiple sections have terrible difficulty tuning (the ninja sections especially, but also parts of Surface Tension) and Xen went from a short section of about an hour that isn't the best to a multi-hour slog.

I concur. It's impressive what they pulled off but the original is superior.

The assassins are easier in Black Mesa imo. I always found them obnoxiously hard in the original. BM Xen has its ups and downs for sure but I don’t know how you can’t be impressed by the ambition of it. The portal activation sequence echoing the HL2E1 core shutdown bit is an amazing piece of work for a fan game. skasion fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Apr 27, 2021 |

It's totally ok to offer a Patreon, hey if someone wants to contribute, it's nice of them! But I imagined something like 2€ to 10€/month, but the fact is, they have chosen tiers that go from 4,5€ to 69€/month (not including vat!) which can be understood as greedy.

You can just hide in a corner with the shotgun and they'll come for a ration of lead. Some encounters with marines are harder and they really upped the difficulty, forcing the player to play a lot slower but I find most zones better than the original. Don't get me wrong, I still think HL1 is one of the best SP games ever and I can replay it every year but Black Mesa is fantastic. Definately worth the sale price for sure at least for a single playthrough.

They're both worth playing, Half-Life and Black Mesa, but not Source if you can avoid it.

Or, hell, half a megawad? I've tried playing Mapwich, I adore the architecture, but there is way too much cute bullshit like new weapons and reloading and hell knights with rocket launchers for my taste

Black Mesa Xen is great* and makes Xen really feel like the last third of the game and not some half-baked afterthought. * The conveyor belt level weirdly drags on forever and would have been way better if it were half the length.
