Heretic

Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight

Blood - Classic!

SiN

Outlaws

continued

Redneck Rampage (never got a chance to play this one..)

and finally Strife Not many people will remember strife, but it was quality!

Anyone have anymore?

Rise of the triad

First game with vertiacal rocket jumps

DailyGeek · 14 May 2006 at 14:21

Rise of the triad was genius, just remembered Kingpin : Life of Crime as well!

More recent: Mafia - that was great.

No-one forgets mafia..

Soldier of Fortune is looking pretty barren on mp these days.

Original Call of Duty is dying off, still a few good servers though ^_^

SiN is hardly forgotten, especially as they've released a kind of sequel/follow up episodes on Steam, plus the original Game

Some good old classics I never did get round to buying, Redneck Rampage was just silly.

Outlaws was really underrated I felt.

Rise of the Triad, now that's a good old forgotten game

Anyone remember Exhumed on the original playstation? Have strange memories of that game for some reason...of scorpians jumping at my face

Shadow Warrior:

I had that. Very good game.

Outlaws was great.."where are you Marshall?"
Redneck Rampage just had me in stiches through most of it

Fulcrum · 14 May 2006 at 16:19

Triad was genius but Dark forces needed too much memory.

Remember the rockets which could split and you decided when, massive blood and guts too

In terms of the current decade, a couple of FPS I think are often overlooked are Command and Conquer: Renegade and Chrome.

The former has a fantastic array of weapons, varied levels, decent storyline and reasonable graphics, all set in the C&C universe we know and love. Whereas the latter has some STUNNING graphics for a 2003 game - I'm suprised how little attention it received.

Blood II

Screenshot

Was released in 1998, think it has very good graphics for its time. The gameplay was amazing as well as the multiplayer, had a lot of fun playing this game. Some of the weapons were bizarre, yet cool!

And Quake 2, you all probably know this game

DailyGeek · 14 May 2006 at 17:00

Ooh, i've remembered another one from lithtech

Shogo: Mobile Armour Division

TheGreatGrrrr · 14 May 2006 at 17:08

Blood and Shadow Warrior are classics, and Duke Nukem 3D. The humour in these games is great.

Sticky bomb like you.

Sutters · 14 May 2006 at 17:29

I really liked Blood when it first came out I must admit.

Kingpin was an awesome online game, especially the bagman mode. Quake 2 and Kingpin were my fave online fps's for a long long time. Then came along a little game called CS...

Some of you need to look up the meaning of 'forgotten'

Ahh Shogo, that really was a classic, loved that game.

Andelusion · 14 May 2006 at 18:07

Blood was awesome, it was really gory too!

I remember thinking that Shogo had great graphics too.
