What's your favorite old FPS game?

Since I was never allowed to play the "Ultra-violent" doom series when I was little, I'll have to say it was the original Dark Forces.

My favorite part is when your going through the sewers on the third level and the Dianogas pop out at you.

I was wading through the sewers once and I didn't pay attention to my battery, and my lights went out. Five seconds later, a pair of Dianogas poped up outta nowhere and started attacking me. The flash from the blaster and those creepy roars made for a really scary experience.

System. Shock.

I don't care if you want to qibble about it not being a pure shooter, you can fuck off, it's better than that, it's a first person action adventure and pretty much the scariest bugger out there. Until Shock 2, of course.

I too am fond of the original Dark Forces, and like you I particularly enjoyed the third level (the sewers), which is why I am looking forward to this mod for Jedi Academy...

Half-life.

Oh, you meant old. In that case, Dark Forces.

Dark Forces

Yes the original Dark Forces was definitely up there as well.

Did anyone ever play that bad-ass custom mission for it, where you had to get off of a space station or something before it got boarded by an assload of stormtroopers? I remember that it actually had a part where you had to go out into space and climb a ladder.

I too have to say GoldenEye. It was the first game I've played that had at least somewhat realistic death-sequences, not to mention how much fun it was to play in multiplayer...

I never got to play DF, so I have to go with the sequel, Jedi Knight.

Quake I. Mainly because it was so damn replayable and so much fun with the various mods. CTF was the game to play.

Spectre VR was pretty good, too.

And Battlezone kicked ass. Yay for vector graphics!

I have to go with the flow and say Dark Forces. I used to love the bone crunching sound it made when you punched a wall, it was great.

I also spent many hours hunting nazis playing wolf3d, so it deserves an honourable mention.

Duke Nukem 3D...because it was hilarious. Nothing like blowing the shit out of an LAPD pig with an RPG.
