Gunman Chronicles is unironically great. Granted, I love games with ludicrous numbers of weapons, but the fact that the weapons have a bazillion firing modes is fun.

If it's on a cd, it ain't old yet.

Exactly.

Old games come in large cardboard boxes to accommodate the manual, with disks rattling around inside.

And in one case, a vacuum packed t-shirt too!

Omg, thanks for this. I was looking for the name of Gunman and Oni. Played them when I was younger and forgot what they were called.

Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.

Igi, Deus ex, NASCAR 2, there's a lot of milestone games there

Wolf's logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.

Agent 47 looks like he's seen some shit.

I should start collecting physical PC games

These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.

I can't believe someone else got gunman chronicles. Although mine looks more like a half life cover than yours.

Rtcw is also my goto memory whenever someone mentions Wolfenstein. The modded 64 player servers were a blast despite the lag.

Everybody way oh!

I dont't think I've ever played an eidos game that actually worked and ran out of the box. Such a bad experience.

FF7 was hot garbage
