Little did I know that bland gray disc with the funny yellow logo and the oddly polygonal titan was going to change my life.

Likewise! I own a whole lot to that game.
I saw an ad in some newspaper about the game and decided I wanted it. I took my bike and rode to the city, a 30 km trip, and arrived at the store litterally 3 minutes before closure time but it was all very very much worth it.

The first multiplayer that I played a lot. Still the best ASMD design (albeit waaay too powerful with the amp:) )

I had to upgrade it to play. Up to a P200mmx that is hehe.

Great memories :D

I probably finished this game... over 200 times.

HB Unreal, my favourite game ever.

I finished a run through it some days ago and yet, I still find it impressive as it was when I first touched it. S3TC really rocks.

If there's one thing I hate about the game is the Biterfish enemy and I don't know why.

Unreal/UT Vet from Day 1
10 years ago, on this very same day, at around 8:00 P.M. Canadian Eastarn Standard Time, I remember playing on a couple of servers, Deck 16 and this Darkmatch map. Me and my buddies John & Wayne had a riot. Except I had 2 MB DSL back in 1998, and John and Wayne had 56k, I had to host the damn server, I kicked their asses for the major ping issues. 8 years old or not, it pur pure fun! :D Times flies when you get older, and it certainly does for me. Infact, I'm shedding a tear (of joy) right now. :)

Happy birthday, ya old fool! :)

I've written a couple of wonderful sayings that I've written up the past years, and perfected them last night. Here is what I had wirtten:


A decade may seem young to us humans, but to Unreal, it's a masterpiece that'll live on forever. Time doesn't count for Unreal...because IT IS Unreal (after all). Unreal doesn't rely on it's age, but what it does rely on is what it displays. Unreal had a bad beginning, but the bad beginning is what made Unreal Tournament, and made the series (and Epic!) for what they have become today.


I've been saving those quotes for 3 years for this very day, and I'd be honoured if someone used them for their signature or what nto. :) :lol:


That is all I can say. :)

Unreal > Epic. Not that Unreal has grown, but it is still as impressive as it was but Epic has fallen deep, very deep even though they released GoW.

Anyway, congratiolations Unreal!

One of the all time greats.
Bought the game the day it came out and was an amazing experience.
Finished it about a week later and found something else on the disk.......the Unreal Editor.
10 years on and quite a few maps later I'm a level designer for Sony (Evolution Studios)
Happy Birthday Unreal - I owe it all to you.

They need to make a patch that brings back the old original Unreal sounds to the game. :D

Wha?
Happy Birthday Unreal! :rockon:

I remember buying the last of the VooDoo Extreme high end cards for my system (actually required a power cable!) just to improve my frame rates on Unreal and UT... damn... it HAS been a long time.
And I've still got that old card... :lol:

Altho I've only joined up playing games about 3 years ago, after meeting Unreal and it's heirs I got instantly and constantly stuck to these games ever since! Long live and much love to the Unreal Family, which is BeyondUnreal, actually ;)

refresh my memory, what old sounds? I mean, the new Unreal releases, like in the anthology, got patched with new sounds, or what?


PS: any reason gamespot has an april 30th 1998 release date?

I owe a lot to the Unreal games as well, more the UT part of the series as I hadn't started until UT was released but still I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for the Unreal games!

10 years is a long while :D
