Lynk Former plays Raptor: Call of the Shadows
My very first stream on twitch.tv… a few teething problems, but I was pretty happy how everything turned out. Also I got to play an old favourite from back in the 90s, Raptor: Call of the Shadows.
Lynk Former plays Cannon Fodder
Another DOS classic that I’m attempting again in my old age… man, I really have forgotten how hard these old games are. The first few missions went okay, but then… well… many men died.
Lynk Former plays Another World: 20th Anniversary
For those of you who were born in the 21st century and don’t know what this game even is, it’s considered to be a classic of early 90s era video games.
Lynk Former plays Toki Tori
Is a Time Bird as cool as a Time Cop? Find out in this wacky puzzle adventure where you have to save your many hundreds of lost-in-time eggs… from porcupines and ghosts… and stuff.
Lynk Former plays Wolfenstein 3D
We return to Wolfenstein only to try to escape again… though, perhaps this escape is a little too retro to see through all the way to the end. Eh, either way, it’s still a pretty cool opportunity to see the classic that launched an entire genre of video games.
Lynk Former plays Quake
Time to switch from 2D to 3D with a quick look at Quake in all of its weirdness… I actually prefer the strangeness of the original Quake compared to what id software ended up doing later with the series.
Lynk Former plays Quake II
Oh man, this is where things really start to get clunky. While the first Quake felt quick and snappy, Quake II feels sluggish and awkward. Probably doesn’t help that I messed up the HUD somehow and couldn’t keep track of my health or ammo… oh well.
Lynk Former plays Wing Commander
This was going to be a series, but there are a lot of technical difficulties to overcome with this game that make it especially hard to play. On top of that, the first run of the game that I did was absolutely terrible, it was pretty embarrassing.
Lynk Former plays Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders
I’ve never played Heretic, but since I’ve got time to have a look, let’s try and see how far I get with this oldskool game that not a whole lot of people ended up playing… aaaand, it turns out I didn’t get very far, this game is way too oldskool for me.
Lynk Former plays HeXen: Beyond Heretic
After trying to get through Heretic’s second level, I decided to go beyond Heretic with HeXen… which didn’t turn out as well as I hoped because I couldn’t even get pass the first level. However, it is pretty cool how this game allows you to choose between three character classes.
Lynk Former plays HeXen II
The third game in the Heretic/HeXen series takes us into the Quake engine rather than the Doom engine and there are a lot of improvements, though, it’s definitely not a game that I’d be able to play all the way through, at least not after I’ve been spoiled by much newer games.
