    Doom/II and Quake, spent so many hours on these and honestly no game has been so magical for me since.
    Should you be interested? Here's what I've been...
    Doing, Playing and Listening to.

    Re: Retro or Not so Retro PC Games

    Nocturne
    Sin
    System Shock 2
    Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver
    Resident Evil (Bought Directors Cut also to get more out of it)

    Those were my main ones. I tried running Nocturne the other day but got an error when I start it up, new hardware and Win 7 will be the issue. Might see if I can find the patch for it and try it again.

    I remember playing Hooligans storm over Europe aswell, kept getting my ass handed to me by the police/other thugs, can't quite remember, but getting them drunk, drugged up or loot stores lol.

    Even remember it causing an outcry on it's release.
