I have fond memories of some of those Zork FMV games, they were fun. Sure, they look silly now, but back then it was cool.

Another great game that they should sell is Blood II.

It uses Steamworks, never gonna happen.
Just stop being a whiny bitch and buy it off Steam already.
Wow, I'm guessing from your need to call me a vulgar name that you work for Valve. Sorry, but I do not rely on defective products. Anything that must call home to function is defective. period...

It was released somewhere around 1997, and it used an early version of the engine that was in No One Lives Forever. This was impressive because the original Blood was released about a year prior to this on the build engine (that duke3d uses).
This was a fine example of the progress that was made in games during the late 1990s. They went from a 2.5D engine with all sprite based graphics to a fully 3D world in such a short amount of time.

I think Sulphur knows what Blood II is, but disagrees about it being a great game. I haven't played it, but most people think it sucks.
Oh by the way, gog.com now also has Interstate 76. That's bound to make some people happy...

Yes, but the game was entirely appalling, from the graphics to the gameplay. I played it. I remember seeing the scientists' 'begging' animation. And I remember being appalled.
'Lith made their name with NOLF. No one was willing to touch the Lithtech engine until they made a genuinely brilliant game with it.
Edit: Whoops. Yep, what Harvester said. Also, Interstate '76, yeah. Definitely makes me happy. One of the games I'd always meant to play but never got 'round to.

Shogo: MAD was pretty cool.
Actually, I kind of loved that game.

I really should give that game another try. I tried to run it like 12 years ago on a Pentium 166, but as you can imagine, the results were less than stellar. :) I've always preferred actual FPS games where you run around, and not vehicle based shooters.

Yes, I've got that game and there is lots of content. I think there are 5 or 6 "episodes". I wish games were still like this where the first episode was free. We used to get 6-10 maps of fragging goodness in the demo!
