I ain't really crazy about Doom or Heretic, though I have played them, as I just feel they are lacking a certain atmosphere. The golden years of gaming for me was from 1996-2001.

I have about 600GB total, so I have a lot less space for things. Heh, I can't really find people that like gaming, nevertheless ones that like the games I am interested in. Even outside of Quakewiki, most people I play with tend to be for short bursts at best. There is always an initial interest, then they go off and do their own thing.

I am sure I could find things that would be playable. I just don't know if they would have the magic, the feel that I am looking for. I want something dark and grisly, harsh but not overdone, something with a hint of realism, and feels cold like it holds the essence of hatred. Every recent thing I touch has Toby Keith playing or is too stereotypical.

Heh, I am relatively young in comparison. Basically, the time of enjoyment for me was a time that I never got to experience as a kid. I actually had to downgrade from the more recent titles, realizing them to be inferior in terms of mechanics and enjoyability. I spent a few years on Doom 3 before I even realized there were other options.

Haha, thanks for saying that. Yeah, I was not really that big of a fan of Duke3d (I had never tried it and was wondering how it compared to the highly enjoyable Quake). The 3d elements seemed just to make the game more maze-like, I never really got to feel any location as being significant (this is a problem I find with many sprite games, though it isn't the graphics as upgrading them to HD textures and 3d models doesn't really help).

I can imagine that being irritating. I just try to get it right in the first attempt. My OCD comes up more with editing pages, I tend to publish something only to realize more flaws that I didn't fix up. It doesn't exactly help that the old walkthroughs are a bit messy in the code (curse me being a noob once).
