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.
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.
omg the Neverhood.
I dont't think I've ever played an eidos game that actually worked and ran out of the box. Such a bad experience.
FF7 was hot garbage
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.
I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.
I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can't pilot when you're colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.
Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it's place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.
Real life barely feels like you're being rewarded anymore imo.
Man, my brother and I were obsessed with the Neverhood back in the day. That game was so weirdly satisfying
I swear one day I'll beat it.
I don't remember that Oni game by Bungie. That cover art looks nice.
Now I can finally activate my RtCW

I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child
That game is so good, one of my early gaming memories
I still sometimes hear music from the game used in videos
Sharing your cd key, are you now?
Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It's amazing that it is in such good condition.
Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.
One day I will pick that game up for the 8th time and actually finish it.
It was one of the early games I got for the PS2.
I didn't really like it tbh. Ammo was way too sparse. Don't think I ever finished it.
Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.
Rockstar acquired Oni to get its proprietary engine and killed its sequel, Oni 2 because they got what they wanted
Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.
But I admire your hate version.
Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management
I just recenly learned about Oni 2s leaked prototype existence and I'm salty that they piecemealed that IP into oblivion.... HOWEVER...Oni's engine would become the RAGE engine that powers and gave life to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 (...and perhaps GTA VI..?)
That's interesting, I didn't know it was the basis for the Rage engine. Thanks.
Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

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

If it's on a cd, it ain't old yet.
Okay grandpa
Not yet, but I am old enough... lol
Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro
I didn't know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It's practically hidden.
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!
Ahhh the manuals... and the mail order hint guides. Those were the days.
Did anyone ever fill out those registration cards?
These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.
Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven't played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. 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.

Igi, Deus ex, NASCAR 2, there's a lot of milestone games there
I never thought I would see blade of darkness again. Thank you for sharing.
One of my favorite games. One time I was able to dismember a guy completely before his body hit the ground.
