The end result is cool, so go ahead and take a look!"
Fanatical has launched its new Explosive bundle, and this one can help you save big on a collection of Steam Deck-compatible titles.

Another type of demake is made for the same platform just a different graphics style (many remakes offer this option at the flick of a button). What if I told you someone made Quake, but it is only 13 kilobytes in size. For comparison that is about one quarter the size of the original Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The kicker is, this version of Quake looks amazing, and everything explodes into gibs everywhere."
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
Wow. I admire the effort of all this done in Doom3's engine, but seriously, Darkplaces looks a lot, lot better, even in lighting.
Its very......Brown !!!
I remember blasting away playing Q1. It was the first game I ever played online against other people. It was an epiphany moment. That was the dawn of Game Spy and other such services.
Brings a smile to my face to think about it.
