Unreal Gold is currently free on GOG

Recommended Posts

That was amazing times. Almost each game was a step forward in a graphic engine. Unreal is only 4 years after Doom 2. Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Quake 2, Half Life, Unreal, Quake 3.

You missed Duke Nukem 3D on the list. Essentially it was for Doom what Half Life was for Quake, i.e. a game that using mostly equivalent technology but with a vastly more realistic texture set.

 

This was also a time when CPU speed doubled every two years or so. It was insane how quickly a newly purchased system became obsolete.

Nowadays, if you take a 6-7 year old high end CPU and compare it to a modern one, the new one is maybe 20% faster.

Almost a shame I already have the game on Steam and GOG, as well as CD-ROM.

I played Unreal Tournament 99 to death, sadly only with bots because it's a super old version of the game and it's practically unplayable in servers. Never played the original game Unreal ever before, infact, I didn't even know there was an 'original game' until about a year ago. Really excited to play through this!
