That Had To Hurt

Unreal Tournament solidified many core memories of after school gaming, or basement LAN parties with your friends, and even getting a few games in before school - which made no sense to most of my sleepy friends. Luckily, it's just as fun to play against bots. There's plenty of game modes to choose from but I mostly played the deathmatch …

Unreal Tournament solidified many core memories of after school gaming, or basement LAN parties with your friends, and even getting a few games in before school - which made no sense to most of my sleepy friends. Luckily, it's just as fun to play against bots. There's plenty of game modes to choose from but I mostly played the deathmatch varieties or capture the flag. 'UT's responsive and fast paced action merged with fantastic level and sound design, and weapons that feels great to fire. The adrenaline of a close fight with that drum and bass soundtrack and body parts flying everywhere...this game is one of the greatest in its class.

The Reason why I got back into FPS games.

The game is not just a simple and fun Arena Shooter from the late 90s.

it's literally One of the GREATEST GAMES I EVER PLAYED.

the game just let's you be from the start, start a tournament or play a random game and then I go and play Facing Worlds for about 20-30 minutes and just have fun and forget …

The game is not just a simple and fun Arena Shooter from the late 90s.

it's literally One of the GREATEST GAMES I EVER PLAYED.

the game just let's you be from the start, start a tournament or play a random game and then I go and play Facing Worlds for about 20-30 minutes and just have fun and forget all my troubles.

Sometimes I go and play on Deck 16 last man standing on hard difficulty and still have fun.

Everything in this game is just straight Fun, I never bothered with the online when I'm already having fun playing against the bots.

I Hardly play this game recently but when I do, I just have simple Chaotic fun.

Anyone else remember this banger? It would play on that "facing worlds" map with the two opposing towers floating in space.

I loved this game when I was very little, like 6-7 years old; I remember playing the whole game and then when I launched the very last level, it ALWAYS crashed and I couldn't finish it... Until a few years ago! I downloaded it again and played it entirely :D

I finally completed that childhood goal! (?) Hahaha. Really like …

I finally completed that childhood goal! (?) Hahaha. Really like that game, stupidly gorey and super fun :] Guess my dad didn't mind his 6 years old daughter dismembering people with a blade-shooting pistol. Thanks dad :> ♥

when i was about twelve, i would spend an hour after school each day in one of the computer rooms with some of my friends. the main thing we would do was download the UT99 demo anew each afternoon on the T1 internet at the school, and play one another in network matches. one of the guys in that room, i recall, was developing a cardcaptors fansite called Clowbook, having seen some of our upperclassmen get on to america's CNN off the back of the success of their Harry Potter fansite. i don't think Clowbook ever amounted to much, but it did inspire me to create my own website at that time, which was a shrine to Tomoyo from the aforementioned Cardcaptors. I never really watched the show, and I only read the first few manga volumes, but i latched on to her character immediately. i bought a .co.uk domain for it (tomoyo-devotion.co.uk), but never figured out how to purchase, or use, hosting. as a result, it was a geocities website with a godaddy-purchased domain. every few years i'll remember that site and search it on the wayback machine. only the splash, with the image now gone, remains.
