Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June '09

This month, ATI's new Radeon HD 4770 is missing in action, since online stores are not only unable to keep it in stock, but also de-listing it completely. With violent movements in pricing, though, it'd have been taken off the recommended list anyway. Read more

There is an old game I used to play for hours. It was on either 95 or 98 and it was placed in and a futuristic world in some alternate universe. You had both guns and magic available for use and it was definitely an FPS. anybody have an idea what this might have been? If you can think of anything else that might be useful in finding it that I didn't include just leave a comment and I will add more.

Sounds familiar almost something like bioshock. Deus Ex: Invisible War or maybe system shock. Nah Deus Ex: Invisible War was made in 2003. System shock is a older game though maybe thats it.

I remember the parts in the city and the sewers the most.

Reply to egnalnayr

I would look up system shock.

Reply to xXxSlaYerxXx

no, its not System Shock. You are fighting against some sort of evil emperor or overlord I believe. and there are more people than monsters I think.

Reply to egnalnayr

Hmmm dunno. Hexen was an older game also but it had monsters in it i think.

Reply to xXxSlaYerxXx

it wasn't Hexen. Very similar and around that time but not it.

Reply to egnalnayr

no, but now I want to get that also. lol

Reply to egnalnayr

duke nukem? anyway i give up. i was still a gradeschooler back 95-98

Reply to wh3resmycar

Reply to egnalnayr

You're think of Blood and Blood II ?

Reply to will_chellam

Hi,

been thinking about this all day ;)

Well, it will help if you tell us what year you playing the game, which will rule out any later releases.

I suspect that the game you are thinking of may have been fps in that it was a first-person perspective game, but it was probably an early RPG game, due to your mention of magic.

Here is a list of early fps and fps/rpg, in the vain hope that something jogs your memory...

Dark Forces (Lucasarts, some 'magic' through jedi powers I think)
Quake (the original)
Unreal Tournament (well, the weapons were pretty *magic* ;)
Ultima Underworld (first-person RPG)
Deus Ex (the original, FPS, some nano-tech magic stuff)
Elder Scrolls II:Daggerfall or Elder Scrolls III:Morrowind ?

Well, will try and remember some more.

Reply to MrSiko

Ok, I cant quite remember the year, but it was not an RPG (no stats, just kill stuff). it was definitely not Dark Forces, although I loved that game. I played it around the same as Dark Forces also, maybe even a little before.

Have a browse through this website see if anything rings a bell.
Its not a definitive list, webby catagorises it all as abandonware so there will be some big studio ommisions...seems the title you are after may be one of the more obscure offerings though.

1995 was the release year for Dark Forces. Just change the url to 1996 etc if nothing pops up.

Oh and a complete stab in the dark...alternate reality always makes me think of Flashback, and the sequel Fade to Black (2 of my fave old time games) No magic though, and Flashback was a platformer, while F2B was 3rd person ish.

Reply to pr2thej

well, its not in there anywhere. I think I will just give up on it for now. Maybe I can dig it up somewhere in my attic or get my dad to remember. All I really remember is that it was on a floppy diskette.

Reply to egnalnayr

ah, someone already suggested that

The voodoo doll from the original version of Blood would qualify as magic. On that line, it could have been Blood or Blood 2.
