Nostalgia attack!!

[Shadowswift]

So I was digging around in some old boxes and dug up some major treasure! I found three old PC Gamer Magazines from May, June, and August of 1997. I thought I'd share what I found with you all since you're all cool and stuff.

A Walkthrough for Quake, also making note of the release of SoA.

I wish I could scan the entirety of these gems, but that'd take forever. Enjoy the memories!

Hell to the yeah's, I remember buying that exact magazine just because Quake was in it. I'm still miffed about Mjolnir was canned/scrapped. Holy balls just the thought still provokes tent pitching.

[Shadowswift]

I thought Mjolnir was in SoA...?

[Mindf!3ldzX]

I wouldn't know, I never played any expansion packs. I have them, but never bothered. one day though!

Though, the specific issue I speak of is this one,


woops my bad.

coooooooool. I wonder what Quake would have been like if technology allowed id to do everything that they really wanted to do with it. Makes you wonder. I wouldn't mind seeing a reboot. I mean, shoot...they did it to DooM. Twice!

I'm with you here brah, Quake1 really needs some love. I just don't see it happening =(

Something tell's me when I say "Coconut Monkey" you'll know exactly what I'm talking about! LOL

That thing scared me a little bit. I was young...

ahhahahhahahahaha, FUCK I truely miss the days of PCGamer delivering a demo disc every issue. Once upon a time they offered demo's on 1.44" floppy's, the last demo game I got via 1.44" floppy I remember was either Cannon Fodder or Blackthorne

Is this what happens when Lemmings go to war? Sure, they're little and cute, but they've got guns. And grenades. And bazookas... In this two-level demo, your goal is simple: kill the enemy soldiers and destroy their buildings. Hey -- it's not called Cannon Fodder for nothing.

lol,580K..............versus today's upwards to 6GB of DDR5 on one gpu. amazing how far we have come,honestly.

Something tell's me whoever was responsible for Worms games,was slightly influenced by Cannon Fodder. pure epic!

Scourge of Armagon is awesome Mindz, even better than Quake itself.

@GB
second mission-pack is even better imo <3

its more medieval and caves and castles rather then the boring base base base of the 2nd mission-pack,
and there's a lot of new enemies and a whole bunch of boss-fights which are all quite satisfying <3

armagon from SoA is imo quite easy

.

but yeah, mjolnir is in SoA. although imo its sadly a kinda useless weapon

.

also mindz: you are seriously missing out by never having looked at the mission-packs, they're both awesome!

[ArrrCee]

Wow, those scans really bring me back. I really miss those magazines and their crazy ads! I remember that Blood one -- When i first saw it I and was like, WTF is this?!

Someone negative-rep'ed this thread. I'd like to know why.
