Always loved Archimedean Dynasty, such an awesome game. The sequels are popamole console-shit, unfortunately.

I like how those early 3D games looked (AD, TN:SFC).

AD is probably the most gorgeous 3D game from DOS era. 3dfx FTW!

Sacred 2 was also good, does no one else like it. Had a few 100+ level toons... Until SecuRom fucked up my account and closed the aptly named Closed Net multiplayer forever for me.

It's Gemini Gold. Old good Privateer with somewhat modernized graphics: 3D objects instead of sprites, and higher resolution. Not high enough though, stuck at 800x600.

SecuRom was just protecting you from yourself. God, you're so entitled.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Sacred 2 has level scaling

 

[DalekFlay]

Pretty sure Sacred 2 Gold is on Steam now without SecuROM. Could be wrong.

Ah yes, GemGold did make me revisit and finish everything all over again from the Original and Righteous Fire expac. Yes, you can finish the original campaign - then head to X1997 - Jolson then LOSE the ALIEN BLASTER as the intro indicated. Which is pretty awesome in itself.

Was fun dancing with 10 Centurions all over again.

If there is a huge flaw there's just one: AI doesn't give up the chase - EVER.
You can go full burners, dodging every hit and spin and spin and roll to duck the blasters, extending your distance to 10K and still they'll stay on your tail.

Annoying to kill everything.

SecuRom was removed from all versions via the final patch.

 

[Humppaleka]

Doesn't help the fact my account got destroyed before the final patch. Anyway, not going to spend more time with it. Propably. Maybe.

Serves you right for using the word "toon".

Don't worry, I like it.. just that part 1 was more original and 2 is more of the same. As for gorgeous dos-games, what about the sequel:

Pretty sure that run under ms-dos as well.

^Aquanox is Win only.



AFAIR it was initially a tech demo for new Nvidia chips (TNT?).

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

After many Multi-headed Cow GoT session screens I couldn't resist anymore.

Indeed, it rings a big alarm bell to me.

We start in prison, Oblivion style

They are not all bad, you know.

"I like what I see"

Watch the arena, and be entertained !

Of course we aren't, that's preposterous.

Wasn't the predecessor for DOS? Archimedean Dynasty iirc.

S2 is a fun game... but too big for its own good. A nice hiking simulator for sure but also game that tried to be epic but failed horribly. The biggest parts of the world were empty, the enemies in many to most cases dulland boring, the story a stupid joke, armor sets uninspired. And the studio that made the game (Ascaron) went down, selling the rights to some other company....that is making a Sacred 3. Which is a unholy abomination no (die hard) Sacred fan would consider a real S3.

 

[Humppaleka]

That pretty much nailed it. What made it fun was to level with others on Closed Net, running around the huge areas killing absolutely everything on Niobium difficulty. Playing solo? Well, better have some crazy pills with you, that was mind-numbing...

[Boyarpunk]

Thank you for the Death To Spies screenies on the previous page. I loved both games. Damm shame crime the third installment won't ever see the light of day.

 

[potatojohn]

DtS 3 was going to be a console game anyway, so it's probably for the better.
