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 still use the song "Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong" from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.

My favorite was always "dum da dum doi doi."

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 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.

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 don't remember that Oni game by Bungie. That cover art looks nice.

I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child

Klaymens Theme is an all time banger

That game is so good, one of my early gaming memories

I still sometimes hear music from the game used in videos

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.

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.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.

But I admire your hate version.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

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..?)

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 19 hours ago

That's interesting, I didn't know it was the basis for the Rage engine. Thanks.

Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.

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

I remember playing Project IGI, that one was hard. Die and you have to redo the entire mission, brutal.

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

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

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.
