No one lives forever 2 was one of first games i played. God it was amazing. The music and the environment were so cool. Plus the humor. Wish we got games with that level of humor these days.
Commandos is such an awesome game! I remember playing it for hours and hours when I was younger. I think the real time tactics aspect of it makes it stand out from other RTS games. I’m so jealous of all of you who got to experience Commandos 2 and Jagged Alliance – those were some of the best games of the era!
I have played NwN and Prince of Persia:WW. I partially played Bloodrayne (just didn’t feel like finishing it) and Crisis (pissed me off with a bug that blocked progression)
Can’t say I have, I was a bit too young when these games were released. Although I am interested in the Prince of Persia remake, whenever that is going to be released..
I never played the original F.E.A.R., only the second one. I wanted to buy it on Steam but somehow the game is not available in my country/region. It’s a real shame!
Now I keep checking back with the local privately owned game store since they sell old PC games too. But no luck so far.
I haven’t ever actually played those exact games but I have played games in the same franchise some of those games are from. A lot of those games came out before I had control over my own financial situation and ability to choose what games I played and bought.
I feel bad for the Prince of Persia games and I can prove my point because I have never played them. I genuinely always through that the games were a tie in to the really bad 2010 Prince of Persia movie. I didn’t realize it was its own unique franchise and from what I’ve seen it looks really fun.
I think that’s the best forgotten gems list I’ve ever seen. Only Deus Ex seems to be remembered frequently nowadays. Sure, many of them have gotten several sequels even in recent years. But the originals are seldom being played by modern gamers.
I think you could also add Thief and Splinter Cell to the list.
I’m coming up on 40 years old soon and I still haven’t played “Oni.” I’ve wanted to, just never got around to it. All of those are pretty solid games, Crysis would probably be my least favorite, but still a good game.
Only one I’ve missed is NWN1. Gaming friend I’ve talked to who are into it really only recommend the multiplayer user content, saying the story is meh and the base game mechanics are clunky. NWN2 however I live and have played quite a bit.
Man I loved commandos in my rts phase.

I played mostly all and… yes, I’m an old nerd gamer….

Crysis Warhead and Bloodrayne 2.
Spy in H.A.R.M.S way was damn good.
GTA, Commandos, and Deus Ex

Think I played all (except Crysis warhead), still have physical copies of several of them.

I absolutely HATE that No one lives forever is in copyright limbo, it was the best spy game and one of the best fps games of its time.
Shit ive only played grand theft auto , dues ex & max payne from these tbh
Played each one of them
I played all of these except Warrior Within!
No Yes Yes No No No Yes Yes No No No No Yes No Yes
I tried NWN2 earlier this year for the first time and it’s pretty rough imo. Dropped it pretty quickly, I’ve been spoiled by Larian and the like
Played all except Fear

I so badly wish for an og Deus Ex remake.
I’ve never heard of Oni
Codename 47 is the worst game on this list. That game aged like fine milk.
The only one in this list I didn’t play is X-Wing. Crazy.
Played everything except gta 1 and x wings
No One Lives Forever 2 was such a fantastic game. Fun game play, great human, just a real good time.
I’ve never played any of these games. Though I have played some of their sequels and spin off games.
Max Payne is literally perfect
The enemy “AI”/programming in FEAR was unlike anything else at the time, it was freaking awesome.

That prince of Persia game was top tier tbh; legit wish it would’ve stayed around for more modern times. Ubisoft just shits on all their good products
What about devil may cry
GTA aside, no, I never played those.
I’ve played most of these games but
>Oni
Are you trying to make me cry dawg I miss that game so much
