Bargain Bin Breakdown – Old School ID

The pioneers of the industry, they practically invented the FPS genre, and then continued to improve it over and over again.  With each new engine came a new game or universe to explore.  One of the oldest gaming companies that still produces leading edge technology with every new engine they create.  And some of the most licensed engines in the whole of the gaming community.

With this Bargain Bin Breakdown I’m doing things a little differently.  Instead of giving each of these games their own reviews, I’m piling them up into one nice super review.  I’m going to be playing all of the old ID classics; Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3-D, Doom, Doom II, and Quake. I’m also going to finish it off with a little surprise I dug up.  If you love the Old School, you’ll love this.

Id was responsible for some of the biggest technological breakthroughs of video game technology for the PC (running DOS and Windows). Starting with the Wolfenstein 3D franchise and continuing with the Doom and Quake series, Id pushed the boundaries of video game technology—particularly 3D computer graphics technology—and creates game engines that are heavily used throughout the video game industry.  -Wikipedia

Bargain Bin Breakdown – Quake 2

The main purpose of these reviews will be to see if games can stand up to the test of time.  With technology vastly expanding and improving every other month, I ask the question ‘Is it still good?’

Quake 2 was created by id Software, and released on November 11th, 1997.  It’s a first-person shooter, and was a pioneer of the genre at its release.  Many games today still use some of the multiplayer functions that were found in Quake 2.

Now, for me Quake 2 was the first first-person shooter that I played.  It was the first online multiplayer game that I played.  It was the first time I used the handle “KoreRat”.  The first time I downloaded extra content for a game.  Quake 2 was a lot of first for me.  So I’d be lying if I said I’m not a bit partial to it.
