Engine Evolution - GameTrailers

A nice trip down memory lane. Sync posted this on the QL forums and in their twitter feed, thought it was worth sharing:

Gah, I feel like my life just flashed before my eyes!


(And why are the people playing in these videos so shit?)

Heh and I played each and every one of those games.

I remember when I first saw Wolf3D. My brother was playing it and I just didn't know what I was looking at. I didn't realise it was a first person perspective, so my brain was trying to process this as something like a 2D platformer game. That was a weird experience. It wasn't until my brother pointed out the first person perspective that it all clicked. And I was amazed.

I remember playing those too...i haven't played commander keen in ages....but they left out doom64 >:[

(if you haven't tried doom64ex, which allows you to play doom64 at 1080p, I highly recommend it)

and yeah, whoever is playing in those videos looks like they're trying to use a gamepad for an fps, and they've never used a gamepad before.
