      Took me a little while to figure out where to put the .ipk3 file (easiest is ~/.config/gzdoom) but otherwise easy enough to get going using the flatpak version of GZDoom. Installing the regular gamefiles + spear of destiny (from my GOG version) was also pretty easy, but I wonder where one can get Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge 🤔

      Either way, good shout, plays excellently, although seems like hitting enemies is harder in this version than the original, at least when they’re far away.

        Making fun of people based on their ability to type is a really low hanging fruit. As long as you can understand what he’s trying to say, you should be happy to be able to hear the opinions of people who are less taleneted in speaking the same language as you, instead of making fun of him. There are many things he knows which you dont, and if everyone were like you, the human race would have died at the discovery of fire because the person who discovered it didn’t perfectly know that times equivalent of grammar.

        Typical .world scum.

      That was such a fun game. Little asexual me didn’t care about the nudity, but the black and white aspect before liberating an area into color was such a cool Gimmick.

      Saboteur is one of those games I’m afraid to replay because I have such vivid memories of it being really fun and I don’t want to lose that.

      I already somewhat ruined Morrowind with modern hardware doing distant rendering. Back in the day Morrowind had perpetual fog and you couldn’t see far, so all the places felt so far apart. It felt like a journey going from Vivec city to Ebonhart. But modern hardware has no problem with distant rendering and now I can see that I could spit from Vivec City to Ebonhart. It’s no longer a journey, it’s just an annoyance because “it’s right there”. The magic of traversal is lessened because things no longer feel like they’re far away.

      And that’s what I’m afraid of, that some illusion of Saboteur gets shattered and with it the game will also feel lesser than it was.

        Go and get Tamriel Unlimited RIGHT NOW

        It’s a fantastic mod that adds the rest of mainland Vvardenfell for you to explore, new quests and factions, new enemies and monsters. It’s such an amazing mod I can’t recommend it enough.

        Plus there are other teams that are working on adding Skyrim and Cyrodiil to the game as well, along with everything they should bring (items etc.).

        I just played it for the first time 4 months ago and it still holds up incredibly well. The art direction definitely helps cut down on the expanded rendering capabilities of modern PCs. While you’ll still have some reduced resolutions of distant landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, you’ll barely notice it as the distance is often covered by buildings, trees, hills, Nazi fortifications, and so on.

        In a somewhat similar vein, the remakes of both Halo: Combat Evolved and Bioshock modernized the lighting and in so doing completely destroyed the atmosphere.

    Silent Storm is missing on that list.

    I have a lot of hours piled on that one. Extremely satisfying ragdoll physics.

      Yeah, killing Hitler was so cathartic.

      Also just a ridiculous amount of hidden rooms with treasure.

    This is the first game list article where I’ve read anything beyond the titles of the games. And it was worth it. Thanks for the share and the great list!

      The Sabateur is a bit rough around the edges as it was the last game pandemic put out before shutting down and they basically ran out of time andmoney. But I still enjoyed it at the time. Just know that you’re basically jumping into an old, clunky assassin’s creed/GTA-like

      The driving in that game is absolute ass too lol

        It has become a culture classic though, one of those games that become more liked as time goes on.

        I just started playing this based on a similar thread I saw earlier this week, and I haven’t put it down. It shows its age but it is an fantastaic and absorbing game. Easy to switch between mission focus and just killing Nazis for fun.

          Yeah definitely. I really enjoyed running around the sandbox and just clearing out stuff mindlessly while listening to podcasts or talking on the phone. I wish they had a few more opportunities To destroy big targets like bridges and such. Those were some of the most satisfying things to ht

        Yeah, I know, I’ve played it a few years ago. Was pretty fun. I’ve always been into stealth and such games. Commandos 2 and hitman codename 47 being some of my favourite games for kid me.

        I was actually surprised to realise that I’ve played everything on the list except for the Indiana Jones (which I’ve downloaded but I haven’t got around to playing yet) and the captain America games.

      I feel like that’s one texture replacement away from reality. But knowing that side they would relentlessly attack it and make it seem like some kind of “maga kill simulator” or w/e.

    The Sniper Elite games are a gift to this world because they understand that the only thing more satisfying than shooting a Nazi in the balls is watching the bullet tear through their tiny tesitcles in glorious slow motion x-ray vision.

    Too dam right.

      They even gave Hitler one testicle. It may or may not be accurate depending on what you read, but it’s still hilarious to shoot Hitler in the nuts and when the X-ray kicks in he’s only got one nut to begin with.

    Now wouldn’t it be very funny if someone played those A LOT and get a little disconnected from reality and started killing Nazis for real? Just saying.
