I remember when I first played Hexen, I could never get past the first level, but I loved smashing the stain glass windows to find the secret passage.

No, it is not true 3D, it is 2.5D, go look it up.

I always thought 2.5D was like 2D platforming/sidescrollers with 3D elements in the foreground and background.[/QUOTE]
Those can ALSO be considered 2.5D games, which is why i stated this thread was about FPS's.
Dark Forces was the shit. Played it all the time when I was a kid. I wonder if there is a coop mod.

Also, isn't Quake considered a 2.5D game? Maybe not the second one but defiantly the first. Quake was the first PC game I ever played.
[QUOTE=mastermaul;22942594][B]They aren't 2.5D, they're 2D.[/B]
Viewpoint does not matter. Sidescrollers with 3D models are 3D. Raycasters are 2D.[/QUOTE]
The games i posted [B]are[/B] in fact 2.5D. Go look it up.

Quake was actually one of the first games to implement full 3D graphics in an FPS.
That's neat, never knew that.
[QUOTE=Saheil;22942853]Shadow Warrior, mentioned at the bottom, was awesome. Also went by "Lo Wang: Shadow Warrior"[/QUOTE]
I may or may not get around to adding in deeper descriptions for those listed at the bottom.
Also, I'm trying to reinstall my old dark forces CD. Is there a way to get it to run successfully, it's an old disk from 95.

I found this on another forum, so i'm hoping it helps solve your problem:
"Since this is always coming up, I think it's high time we had a sticky containing all the information anyone would need to get Dark Forces running on the latest Operating Systems. There is a common myth among the DF community that the game won't run on anything later than Windows 98. This is not true. There are tonnes of people out there who have it running, me included. Read on if you are having trouble...
Getting Started:
1. Try a regular install from the DF CD.
2. Doesn't work? OK, try this:
[url]http://www.df-21.net/articles/install.html[/url]
This is a very useful guide, and most people who follow it can get it working fine on their systems. I hear of very few people who ever continue to have problems after using that guide.
3. Still doesn't work? Try this:
[url]http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/[/url]
This is a DOS Emulator. I haven't tried it personally, but I hear good things about it. Give it a shot!
Sound Problems
Sound problems are common when running Dark Forces on newer Operating Systems. No music is one of the most common, or simply no sound at all.
Sound emulation is very much the way forward, and almost always works. VDM Sound is the one most people recommend, and works great for me. Here is the link:

Further Problems
Head here:
[url]http://forums.df-21.net/[/url]
DF-21 is pretty much the last remaining (very active) DF community on the internet. Try searching their forums for information, or failing that, post there what your problem is - they will hopefully have the expertise to help you."
2 didn't work for me, I'll try DosBox
Anyone here aver played Rise of the Triad? That shit was awesome.

Oh man I remember when me and my dad played DOOM.
We see a cyberdemon and we start running away, giggling like school girls. Then we get 1 shot by it :<

I tried to get into Marathon but I'm spoiled by GZDooM when it comes to sourceports of old games.

I don't even like the first one really. 2 and 3 are much better all around.
[QUOTE=jlj1;22954451]facewound[/QUOTE]
That's not an FPS.
And for some odd reason, the sound for Shadow Warrior for me is all spliced up and choppy.

Weird, M1 was my favorite one. I found the plot a lot clearer.
[QUOTE=Itszutak;22957254]Weird, M1 was my favorite one. I found the plot a lot clearer.[/QUOTE]
Well that is true because I was completely lost as far as plot goes on 3 but I just had more fun playing it.
