Quite possibly the best retro FPS I've played in all my miserable life.
I need more games like this on ps1,N64 or Dreamcast, I would ask Saturn either but it just died on me last week. Also Turok thread

Doesnt even need to be retro. Turok 2 had customizable ammo, weapon classes and a much better hit damage system than shooters of period like quake 2. For some reason i prefer the firsts very dreamlike atmosphere. Too many speaking characters break the fourth wall for me; like in unreal 2.

This is something I thoroughly hate about modern games. I have a rather large TV and by God I intend to use it, but someone somewhere decided that we should not have massive viewable areas on-screen.

Honestly, I feel kinda the opposite way.
I use a medium-small monitor.
I want play some older games in res larger than 800x600, HUD gets small.
Sometimes so small, that its hard to see things, important things that HUD it supposed to show, like health or ammo.
However, I understand your sentiment.
I dislike big HUDs that restrict your view.
Ideally, modern games shout give you a separate option to scale/customize HUD to your liking.
Do you want just see your health and ammo? Done.
Additional skills and their cool-downs? Done.
A list of quests and objectives? Done.
Map and compass? Sure.
A motherfucking chat so you can see players calling each other faggots? Here you go!

But for fucks sake, don't make me see all that cluttered bullshit all the damn time without an option to turn this shit off!
I want to play a damned game!
How an I supposed to do so when I cant see a simgle fucking thing on the screen!?

True, most Windows 9x games are still compatible.

Here's a few more:

>Jazz Jackrabbit 2
On Windows 8.x/10 it lags in fullscreen mode.

>Age of Empires 1/2
No problems

>Starcraft
Works fine

>Quake 1/2/3

>All Unreal engine games
(they even run on Windows NT 3.51, but some need rendering fixes to look/play well on newer PCs)

>Re-Volt

>Carmageddon 2

>Descent 3

>Baldur's Gate

Well, N64 emulation is dicks so there's that.
Personally, I'm ok with not playing the more obscure N64 crap. Like, Goemon 2 might be good but I don't feel it's something I should seek extensively.

Why do videogames of today feel so different from video games of yesteryear? Is it the design? Is it the updated graphics and music? Or is it the simplicity of gameplay that doesn't take from the difficulty that today just doesn't seem to have?

Here is my theory: video games started out with arcade machines, where it was the norm to have to try again and again. This kind of design was carried over to early systems like the NES, where the games were short but pretty difficult and required a lot of re-tries.

Simplicity is easier to get 'right' than complexity. Modern games are so complicated that perhaps too much time is spent on making things pretty than perfecting the fundamentals.

Lots of Atari homebrews on display. Mostly 2600, but some 5200, 7800 and Jaguar games here too. (Pic is bad, but there are tons of screens in a U shape. All using really sharp Commodore CRTs too.)

Now this is cool, there's an NES game maker program being demoed. I mean, it actually lets you make NES games. This is an alpha build they're demoing apparently.
