Alien Trilogy, Turok etc

Post by blade »

Geez, Just typing that made me feel old.

Saw Aliens (again) and it made me think of the older game called Alien Trilogy. I thought it was mucho fun and is based mostly on the first 2 Alien movies. Complete with a queen, even the weapons and sounds from Aliens.

Quake was better but this was still fun and addictive. Especially if you enjoy any of the Alien movies. Bad thing is it was released when our systems were getting a lot faster. Too quickly for this game maker anyway. You couldn't even install it if you had over something like *just 8mb of ram. Before the game bored me, I was unable to play it due to updating.

Did a search and saw 'potential ways to play it in xp. Previous attempts never worked. I still have the game but when searching google I found a site, which I think is legal, has info about it and the game for download. They are all old games and some others I remember like lamberghini so they should be free. a mazin' :d Look at the top where it links to "featured games" for many more older games. If one can play them that is. I see they suggest dosbox.

*Found Turok too! I read somewhere that they are remaking this game. I originally got it with a voodoo rush card. And it'd only play for that specific card.

The Alien Trilogy game was not running properly on my computer at all. Whenever I pressed any key it would speed through everything.

I tried the Turok demo for PS3. I didn't really enjoy it too much to be honest. It seemed like very repetitive gameplay and the melee system needs a lot of work. I heard the online multiplayer portion of the game is not too bad though.

Same here Bones (weren't you on star trek? :D ). Both won't play at all. The usual bs. Didn't try too hard nor did I try dosbox. One of them appears to have made my sound screech. Reinstalling sound card drivers worked.

I haven't played Turok since at least last century so I may not like it now either. I remember mostly enjoying the atmosphere, outdoor scenery and Jurassic park-like enemies.

I think I remember playing Turok on N64, it was OK. But not my kind of game in general.

I remember my friend and I watching a demo of Turok at Comdex on a Voodoo2. We coudn't believe how good the graphics were back then.
