Was visiting my parents for their 50th anniversary and stumbled upon this gem from my youth. More below.

Hah, I can finally play Homeworld thanks to OPs CD key 😈
Enjoy!
I wish Tim Epic would release this as open source. Cmon game and engine is old enough and Quake guys did the same…
Can’t. They’re totally bogged down in making Darth Vader to the Macarena.
Man, Homeworld. My best friend and I spent countless hours with that.
It was amazing what they did with relatively primitive 3D graphics. It was a beautiful RTS.
Ahh, UT, those were the days, me and my friends played it in school during school hours. (Then moved on to WC3 DOTA, in school during school hours.)
These bring back good memories.
I have all four of those boxes in my bin-o-old computer games in my garage. Oh many I need to play Homeworld again.
[Edit] Mlem and Memmy aren’t posting correctly. Had to edit on the website from a browser. Sorry, still getting used to all the quirks!
Awesome. A golden age of PC gaming
Tribes 2 and Sacrifice come to mind.
I’d had a lot of fun with that newer F2P Tribes game. Not quite the same, I’m sure.
I liked that game so much, it felt like as betrayal they just dumped it for smite. At least that’s how i remember it, if they’re even the same dev
Tribes Ascend was amazing; I think it might have been towards the end of the game’s popularity, but I loved that they sold a pack to skip the F2P grind progression entirely (kinda like getting a GOTY version a couple years later)
Low-grav, insta-gib is the best play mode.
On DM-Deck16 map!! Firing rockets at the ground to jump up and over to the other side and blasting your mate point blank with the frag gun mid air. God I loved that game and it wasted HOURS of my uni time playing LAN matches across campus.
I won every tournie we set up and played in the 1st year Halls.
When I first got the original CS thoguh I lost my skill. I didn’t have the patience for one-shot kills. I rage quit everytime I’d get headshot. I realised I was good at tanking a shot then crazy-dodging and countering. You couldn’t do that in CS. So in UT I could take a shot, rocket jump in their direction and shotgun the bastard from behind before they knew what was happening. None of those skills transffered to CS where accuracy and cover was the main aim.
Quake 3 Arena… ahh, the memories…
All great games, I played so much of all these, especially unreal. Dial up deathmatches!
UT99 still slaps
Wow. So many flashbacks. Thanks for sharing
Unreal is so fucking good, if you guys didn’t play it yet, it holds up perfectly. Get the fan patch from oldunreal and play.
Quake III is fun, I like occasionally duking out with bots on it.
Never touched Homeworld, maybe someday.
