Purple D. Link posted:I really just want Doom and maybe the Heretic/Hexen collection though. I already own Quake 1 and the expansions, I don't really care to own Quake II that much, and I get my Quake III fix from Quake Live. I like Wolfenstein fine but it's low priority. Plus I'm trying to save money right now and don't want to spend maybe more than $20 if a sale starts. I bought id's complete pack for like 22$ on sale. I'd wait a bit, Steam's summer sale is probably starting on the 30th.

Last year I built a DOS based machine for old games, basically: MS-DOS 6.22 Pentium MMX 200MHz 64MB of RAM 4MB ATI PCI Card (better image quality than the 2MB S3 Trio64 V2DX it replaced) SoundBlaster 16 + Yamaha MIDI Daughterboard I've been obviously playing the classic Wolf3D, Doom, Doom II, Duke3D, Blood, Rise of the Triads, Shadow Warrior and Quake, among others. I'm currently in the process of building a 2001~ era machine: Windows 98SE Pentium III Tualatin 1.4GHz 512MB of RAM 128MB AGP GeForce4 Ti4400 and a pair of Voodoo2 12MB in SLI that I pulled from the DOS machine. Integrated Audio Aside from the obvious Half-Life, glQuake, Quake II, Unreal Gold, Serious Sam and Deus Ex, do you have any suggestions of FPS from that era? Basically anything from Windows 95 to 2001-2002. I'm also taking suggestions for the DOS PC.  Thanks a bunch from a youngin discovering the past.

I don't know I think I'm just an old PC guy in a young body I like jumpers and IDE drives  Though I did play Doom II and Duke3D with my dad in my young days, I had a SNES and a N64 so I missed out on the whole PC thing until 4-5 years ago. So I'm not that young, I just missed out. edit: justbread posted:They never stopped being cool Yeah well I repair vintage computers (C64, Amigas, Atari 8-16 bits, Apple II...) in my spare time, so you could say I'm a hardware guy.

Thanks to both of you for the suggestions, sure will try to hunt them out. It's really fun messing with old PCs, I mean people just give them away and it provides a good sense of how PCs changed since then.

Sombrerotron posted:Lightsaber is combat is definitely hugely improved in JK2, no question about that, but as someone who's played DF2 online for several years I can assure you that dueling in the latter isn't as clumsy as you might believe. Timing is everything, and when playing against a human opponent there's a lot of pretty careful dodging and feinting involved. Of course, that's all assuming you're playing a game without Force powers; they're fine in SP (although I wouldn't know why you'd ever use Speed in SP lightsaber duels), but in MP they just get in the way of everything else and are prone to infuriating abuse. In my experience that also applies to JK2, though. Still, at least in DF2 fights there's no kick + backstab/roundhouse combinations to ruin everything. I did play Jedi Knight 2 :P but I'll at least try it, I actually have the CD but I never did!

The shotgun in Blood is my favorite after Doom's shotgun and super shotgun. We should make a top 10!

I recently put back together a DOS PC with the following specs: Pentium 200 MMX 32MB of RAM SoundBlaster 16 with Yamaha MIDI daughterboard Gravis UltraSound MAX S3 ViRGE MS-DOS 6.22/Win 3.11 What are some good DOS FPS other than the classic BUILD and iD games? I can play pretty much anything that runs on straight-up DOS. By the way, Saturn X is amazing on a real DOS box (with UltraSound and Adlib)!

Also you HAD to have the CD for the CD audio, which was kind of a big deal.

ToxicFrog posted:System Shock, Descent, and Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri are all fantastic. Seriously, two pages of recommendations and no System Shock? For shame. I forgot about System Shock! how could I? Thanks for the suggestions , apart from Descent I don't know those games. I'll give them a try for sure.

IIRC I turned off the texture filtering with a CVAR in the console under GLIDE.

Kamrat posted:Just started up the game in software mode and it looks so much better without the blurry textures, it's feels like the game hasn't aged that badly all of a sudden. You don't have to be in software mode to disable texture filtering. Enter this in the console or add it to your autoexec.cfg quote:gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST

Unreal was amazing in 1024x768 on a Voodoo2 SLI setup. Also 3dfx's SLI, best SLI.

If you're playing in pure DOS or DOSBox, isn't there a mouse driver that disable the vertical axe leaving you with only a mouse look?

Even on straight up DOS, if you can find a packet driver for your NIC you can transfer stuff via ftp with mTCP.

Ok well the multiplayer looks pretty good and you seem to run as fast as classic Doom. Map editor also, looks good.

Overall I'm pretty hyped, it looks good and it seems less slow paced than Doom 3. The first demo was meh, but the multiplayers looks promising if they don't gently caress up and I liked the hell demo.Elliotw2 posted:When do I get to play my beta copy for preordering all the really good Wolf games though. This too.

Jia posted:A lot of it looks pretty great -- if you were expecting a reskinned Doom 1/2, you're loving dumb, lol at the guy bitching about being able to jump -- but goddamn does the whole 'game pauses when switching weapons' thing destroy the game flow. Sure hope that's something you can turn off or get around. If you're on PC you most probably will be able to switch with the numbers key.

GLQuake is only good if you're playing on actual 3dfx cards which at this point is a novelty. GLQuake in 1024x768 on SLI Voodoo2
