Woohoo! Salty loves it when people are warned about his language.

Get the Stupid Crossbow
Go into the elevator and open up the top-hatch. Climb up to the top of the elevator, then climb up the side of the shaft. At the very top of the elevator shaft will be some machinery and atop that will be a crossbow.
This crossbow is the greatest weapon in the entire freaking game. It makes the Lightning Gun look like a nerf-rifle.
Again, it doesn't matter if you're in the year 3030 AD; apparently, even in the far future, the crossbow remains the most balls-out deadly-accurate weapon in the history of warfare.

The Part Where You Get to Ski or Fly a Biplane
It always sounds good in theory. At some point, you'll get to ski, or ride a dragon, or pilot a biplane, or zip around on a Ski-doo on a glassy Venetian canal.
Trouble is, the engine of the game isn't designed for this sort of racing-style action, and so every lazy game-designer just phones it in at this point.
Rather than coming up with the code necessary to make this level fun and realistic, they just license out the engine of a 1997 version of The Simpsons Family Dune-Buggy Racing and hope that you're so stoned-stupid you can't tell you're now playing a cartoon.
The controls are sloppy and sluggish, the physics are completely unrealistic, and some of the death-screams sound suspiciously like Superindendant Chalmers shouting out "Skinnnnn-er!!"
Skip it. The cheat you're looking for is THE_HELL_WITH_ALL_THAT, which should advance you to the next level.
More at Ace of Spades HQ. Salty language warning. The kind of language you use when you play one of these stupid games.
(weeping) I can't help it, I miss Duke Nukem. And Doom. And Blood. And Descent.
For shooting things at close range, I'd rather nominate the humble sawed-off shotgun, though, rather than the crossbow. It's so, so, freeing. But if you're in God mode, the bazooka is more satisfying.
Mmmmmmmm - baz-ZOOOOOO-ka...
Whatever happened to just Pacman? De-evolution occurred in the high tech department. (sniff, sniff)

This might be just the ticket, no Lazer beams or other nonsense, just basic firearms and Small Squad Tactics.
One of the most enjoyable games I have played, cheap, easy to find opponents and best of all, you arent playing aginst some Computers AI, it's real people.

Yeah, I love 'em all too. Just wish that I didn't have to keep talking to some idiot wearing a Fez.
Why miss em? there are playable multi level demos available at WWW.DOSGAMES.COM Of course you'll need Windows 98,DOS, or a couple or three emulators to run em on your modern system.Some of them will even work in XP but that's the exception rather than the rule.Descent will run on my XP system without sound.
Ace is, as always, absolutely freaking HYSTERICAL! :)
One more thing if you just like running around shooting stuff the playable demo of Quake 3 Arena is awesome.And it doesn't require a fancy graphics card to work.
Can we get a bunny with a pancake on its head for this post? 'Cause I sure don't know what you're talking about!
Shotguns do eliminate the drudgery of having to aim, without a doubt.
Coooooool. I want to play!
Coooooool. I want to play!
Okay this is how pathetic I am - I kept a Windows 98 partition on my Linux box, JUST SO I COULD PLAY MY LEGACY GAMES. But I miss the games because I have a little six-year-old boy now and I can't even play them around him yet because of the violence.
Well, except for Descent II which I can slide under his Daddy's radar because it's just robots I'm shooting, there's no blood, and we get to save the hostages.
Otherwise, his Daddy puts his foot down about violent games. He gets seasick just watching me play anything in 360...
So did I, and that familiar nauseous feeling returned like last time. Something about running through Doom's hallways makes me sick.
That's pretty pathetic but understandable, so at 6 he's got a bed time right? I do most of my game playing late at night so I don't get interupted.There are some other non bloody games that are also fun have you tried Red Ace Squadron? One of the only flying games I've tried that works well without a joystick and doesn't require a top shelf system.
Ok I gotta know what's the difference between "Final Doom" and "Ultimate Doom" I have the full version of Doom 2 what am I missing?
