E3 1998 screenshots and trailers

[lazygecko]

Here's a cool find from someone at NeoGAF. It's an archive of game screenshots and videos meant for E3 1998 that you could find on a special CD from PC Gamer

There are some interesting oddities in there such as a game called Blade that I have never heard of before. Can't find any info about it online so it must have been cancelled or renamed into something else. It reminds me a lot of Rune which came out around 2001. Lots of completely forgotten RTS games from the period where it reached maximum saturation, like Alien Intelligence and Max 2.

Is there any HL1 footage?

? There's a lot of old prerelease HL1 footage out there, including a run-through of the scrapped stuff they showed at E3 1997, IIRC.

Gordon doesn't need to hear all of this; he’s a highly trained professional.

It contains one short video named halflife, superluigieth ;
- player falls trough glass, headcrabs close in.
- player shoots like a madman, sprays logo over grenade impact decal.
- player acts as if he is afraid of some monsters floating in a labo-tube.

If only i knew what ALL the screenshots where taken from, damn numbered folders.

edit ;
i just noticed the index.txt file with all the names for the games.
