It makes me feel so old that this now qualifies as Retro Gaming. Like, I know it is, but it just feels wrong.
Yeah, hard to imagine that my introduction to this game is already 25 years ago. One of my highschool classmates lived right next to the school and he had something to show us. The epic intro music, seeing that Skaarj at the end of the vent shaft through the volumetric fog..
Just mind-blowing, I was still used to things like Duke Nukem 3D in those days, Unreal was such a step forward. And that soundtrack.. unforgettable, I still listen to it regularly.
Half-Life came out so quickly after Unreal, I feel that the latter got overshadowed by it. Which is a shame, as it was an excellent game in its own right that's been underappreciated.
Unreal Tournament was our favorite LAN game back in the 00s, I can still see the facing worlds map if I close my eyes.
