The Never Hood is so good.
Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.
I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.
Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea
I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child
I still sometimes hear music from the game used in videos
Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It’s amazing that it is in such good condition.
Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven’t played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. I don’t think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.
Heard it felt unfinished
I remember the levels being copy/paste rooms, but things like bathrooms and break rooms were absent. It didn’t really feel like a real world people live in.
I remember them boasting that an architect contributed to the level design. Turns out, real world environment design didn’t map to early 2000’s game design very well.
Now designing a modern VR game or something, that might be a different story.
I didn’t know there was a jewel case version. Mine is in a DVD case.
absolutely loved Oni, still one of my favorites ever.
I never thought I would see blade of darkness again. Thank you for sharing.
One of my favorite games. One time I was able to dismember a guy completely before his body hit the ground.
If it’s on a cd, it ain’t old yet.
Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro
I didn’t know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It’s practically hidden.
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!
Ahhh the manuals… and the mail order hint guides. Those were the days.
Did anyone ever fill out those registration cards?
Okay grandpa
Not yet, but I am old enough… lol
Now I can finally activate my RtCW

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.
Oni is so good.
I seriously don’t think this game gets enough credit. It basically invented the combat system used in a bunch of AAA titles today. Like the Batman games. Sure they have been refined and improved it, but it was revolutionary at the time.
Igi, Deus ex, NASCAR 2, there’s a lot of milestone games there
Blade of Darkness was kickass

I didnt know oni was on pc. Ive been playing it recently on ps2 and let me say the movement in that game is amazing.
