    05:38 So, I asked someone who actually owns (for some reason) a physical copy of the game. Finally I know what the upper boxes are.
    The two upper ones are:
    1. The order currently assigned to the squadmates.("F"ollow or "D"isperse)
    2. The "game mode" you're playing on: 1 2 3 for skill levels, 4 for randomized, 5 for multiplayer
    Lower boxes:
    3. Threat meter. Red > Yelow > Green (Green is no monsters remaining on the floor)
    4. Number of squadmates alive

I played it once upon release (paid $54.95 at Electronics Boutique in Minot, ND). Did not finish. Was disappoint that the demo was more fun. The real game gives you 10 sewer levels. Bored me to tears. Found my 486 in the other room a couple years ago, and wondered if it would still boot up. It did. What game do think I tested it with? Yep this one.

    @natalieobman5018 Před 6 lety +1065

    From a programmer perspective
    there are no excuses. an ammo counter is literally printing out an integer value, and was already in the wolfenstein engine. I can only assume they somehow broke it and nobody saved previous versions.
    Put the slime on the layer behind the map. also just slowly fade them out or if rushing it out is important, just drop them completely. I can only assume they made the splatters a permanent entity like corpses in Wolfenstein, except directly on the player. Why? I don't know.
    The death sequence makes me think they broke soooooooo many things trying to make what they "added" work.
    Ok but seriously, that fucking ammo counter irritates me almost as much as it did you, the player. The ammo is stored, numerically, in the memory. Its like asking your friend for a bowl of icecream and he brings you the bowl full of ice cream but no spoon. You know he used a spoon to scoop out the ice cream, but he won't give you any spoons.
    The fire sprites were sufficient for indicating fire. Adding the flashing is making more work for themselves. in this lazy game thats an odd decision.
    i give up. like the devs

      @ruskerdax5547 Před 5 lety +69

      I may have given them too much credit, but when I was a kid I interpreted the ammo bar thing as a purposeful design that was more "realistic and tactical" as it was supposed to represent the weight of the ammo you had. The thought was that you don't actually know, down to the very bullet count, how much ammunition you have in a situation like that. The whole "this game is realistic and hardcore!" was a big part of the game's draw at the time, sewer rats and slime monsters aside.

      I’ll be honest, to a military equipment enthusiast like myself, that cover art is strange and confusing. See, the vehicle is quite obviously an M270 MLRS (the large grates over the windshields give it away), which is a long-range rocket artillery carrier. I cannot think of any reason why troops would be advancing into battle alongside this thing with all guns blazing, since the job of the M270 is to set up about 20 miles away and lob 12 rockets in a minute. It does have that roof-mounted machine gun, but with all the explosives it carries if it’s close enough to anything to use that gun it would be reversing as fast as it can go. Clearly the artists looked at one picture of the vehicle in its traveling configuration and assumed it was some kind of APC.

    I got this game on some kind of "500 Games on One Disc!" thing I picked up at a computer festival in the 90s. I think it was supposed to be a shareware game like almost everything else on the disk, but they may have even messed that up because I'm pretty sure it was the full 40-level version.
    This game is definitely not good, and some of the design choices are questionable at best, but for the time it was made it was far from the worst shooter. I actually had a decent time playing with my friends (not multiplayer, of course -- I'm pretty sure that did not actually exist, despite what your box says). It was one of the only games at the time that had anything resembling a "tactical" feel. Keep in mind I'm using this in the loosest sense possible, but standards were very low back then. You could shoot and kill enemies nearly instantly, and similarly be killed very quickly by bullets yourself. The game really DID have "ambush AI," although it was rudimentary, enemies would hear you and react and lay down ambushes instead of constantly running to be killed one after another. Sometimes.
    I think your version may also have had some bugs that mine did not. The slime / blood staying on the screen and firing through doors were not a problem when I played it. Also using explosions to blow away parts of the level was a very cool feature that pretty much no other game had at the time. You could effectively use it to steamroll through a level to the exit if you had the ammunition.
    As for the four boxes, I don't remember what all of them were, but I'm pretty sure one of them changed colors depending on how "alerted" the terrorists were to your presence on that floor. That was something you could affect with the circuit breaker.

      I remember those "500 games on one disk" thing, 90% of the games on them were utter garbage from tiny companies that had never made a game before and that one thing they made for the disk killed them, the other 10% were either ok or good.

      That was actually a notable graphic feature at the time and part of what made their version of the Wolf engine 'enhanced.' we had solid floors and black skyboxes in every game two years prior. But it does remind me of a low reach. Like listing menus or controls as a feature.

      No game since then had succeeded in replicating the style, even though many have tried, - hell, they even try to this very day, only with more needless features... Necrovision's combo fighting semi-melee was the only one to do things that worked and felt better, but it's not quite in the same thematic neighborhood. Witchaven has its due victory in my book.

    2 - The normal/average setting
    3 - The hard setting
    R - The random setting is kinda like a hybird of the three previous settings.
    If you can beat the game in this mode, you should consider joining your local
    police department's SWAT team....
    N - Network Play. Your standard Deathmatch
    T - Same as above, but with teams.
    M - Modem.

      It wasn't one of my favorite games, but I did enjoy playing it. The "R" random difficulty did provide enough variety to play it through a few times.

      there is a game literally called RATS.EXE for Windows 3.1 and of course it's much better than this (it comes with SEX.WAV)
