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

One of my favorite games. One time I was able to dismember a guy completely before his body hit the ground.

Can’t believe that woke garbage Wolfenstein is in there. /s

I seriously don’t think this game gets enough credit. It basically invented the combat system used in a bunch of AAA titles today. Like the Batman games. Sure they have been refined and improved it, but it was revolutionary at the time.

Wait, those games came on CD? I thought they came as ISOs with a nocd_patch.exe

These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.

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

Klaymens Theme is an all time banger

I still sometimes hear music from the game used in videos

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

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

Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

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…?)

Oni still had better hand to hand combat gameplay than all of those games though 😅

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

I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.

Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea

I laughed so hard the first time I saw this.

Gunman Chronicles is unironically great. Granted, I love games with ludicrous numbers of weapons, but the fact that the weapons have a bazillion firing modes is fun.

Loved commandos. They’re making a new one. There is a demo out. Probably launched next year.

There were quite a few games using the same formula (and improving on it), to the point where I feel Desperados would be my favorite in that genre, not Commandos itself.

I still remember having to reparation my drive and reinstall windows, upgrading from fat16, because commandos wouldn’t fit on either partition.

Going through Desperados 3 after wastelands myself. Shadow tactic up next.

For me Xcom mechanics is goat. For all my life I’d been into RTS, rise of nations kind.

Commandos remaster is on the way. Maybe I’ll pick it up to remind myself of childhood horrors

Omg, thanks for this. I was looking for the name of Gunman and Oni. Played them when I was younger and forgot what they were called.

Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.

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

There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.

Yup skullmonkeys is great. It’s in a box with my Game sharked PS1 for playing a copy of Bushido Blade once a decade.
