What an exciting era in FPS gaming. Post-Doom, and Pre-Half Life era that saw so many great FPS games released. I realize that Half-Life was still technically in the 3D Accelerator Era, but that's my way of saying that period of time between Doom and Half-Life. The Era of the Quake's, and Unreals.
Also, Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the Build-engine games, but I need to acquire one more in order to give them their own five-for-five video.
As for Quake, I was going to show WinQuake, which I have on disk, and it installed just fine on my rig. However, it doesn't allow any 3D accelerator type things, and I was also getting some weird visual glitches at higher resolutions, so I caved, not wanting to just show the remastered version, and went with the source port vkQuake.
Quake II, I am running off the actual retail CD from 1997. It installed just fine, and runs on my Windows 10 rig. I may have had to use compatibility mode to get it to run, I can't fully remember.
SiN, I recently bought off Steam. I've always wanted to play it, having read about it in either PC gamer, or PC Accelerator magazines over two decades ago. Longer now.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is the Steam version, but I also own it in physical form. It's running in software mode, because even as far back as when I bought it for my first ever PC ever, it wasn't compatible with my AGP slot Radeon 9000. I'm guessing it only likes Voodoo cards, or similar cards from that era. I also turned off the music in the footage so the copyright hounds will stay away.
Unreal is also off the retail CD version with a few patches I downloaded OldUnreal.com . Unfortunately, it too is running in software mode, but at 1680x1050.
