Before Unreal Tournament, there was NERF

youtu.be/MzlX53Bdj6s

Nerf Arena Blast literally nerfed UT! They use the same engine and were developed alongside each other, but after you get past the "UT Total Conversion” feel, NAB reveals its own distinct identity. Let's look back at it 27 years later!

I spent YEARS in Nerf Arena Blast as a teen since every other FPS was too "violent", playing in our family clan, converting Unreal and UT maps with the included NerfEd, and still have my original NAB disc!
Thankfully it's had updates to run on modern hardware, shipped with the same SMP issue as UT99

@atari.com, work out a deal with Hasbro & get Nerf Arena Blast re-released. It'd no doubt be the least likely Nightdive remaster we've ever seen, even more so than PO'ed was.

I have a favor, and it’s to share this fundraiser (or donate, if you feel inclined. That would rock.) I am really involved in the ceramics community and I think art is so beneficial to kids; I think it can change lives.

Looking at the new LGR warehouse workshop storage building thing! Going over what's been done, what comes next, and how I plan to use it for the channel going forward. Thank you so much for your ongoing support, y'all have made this possible!

Ahh, the first CD-ROM specific game I got after the family bought an IBM-compatible in early 1995.

Pretty sure this was instrumental in putting me off the CD-ROM format for gaming to this day, and driving me towards my love of the N64...

Wow, check this out: an LGR viewer found screenshots for the (presumably) cancelled SimAnt Enhanced CD-ROM for DOS PCs! They found the images on an Interplay press kit they had years ago. First time these screens have been posted online, far as I can tell!

Great video. This was the first Sim City I played, which is not ideal. The video compares cd-rom rereleases to how we have so many remasters now and it gave me the cursed but also good thought that instead of remaking games like Bloodborne, we rerelease the original but shoehorn in some cheap fmv

YES. The first SimCity I ever played was the SNES one. The second was this one, and as a kid my primary interaction with it was to turn on all the disasters and watch the ridiculous SIM CITY ACTION NEWS videos. It was extremely fun and extremely funny (for a few minutes before it would get boring)

The version of SimCity I grew up with apart from the SNES game. LGR finally covering it is great, more people need to know about this weird take on the series.

Hope you're in the mood for some CHEESE

youtu.be/zRfpuaHuzDY

FMV cheese, mm. I've covered SimCity before, but this odd 1994 Interplay release is one I haven't reviewed until now. The Enhanced CD-ROM with copious amounts of full motion video! It's both enjoyably silly and unfortunately frustrating.

The recompiled PC version of Duke Nukem Zero Hour got a mod that allows you to play it in first person with mouse + keyboard support, really awesome

Taking a look at the first Multisync monitor from 1985! Not only from NEC but the first one at retail in general, possibly
youtu.be/IgU2FQwZTXE

The JC-1401P3A displays all standard graphics modes for IBM PCs and many less standard ones, with horizontal sync rates of 15khz, 24khz, 31khz and beyond

Anyone else getting a lot of REALLY old videos recommended on YouTube lately? Like 10+ years old…

Also seeing notable spikes in activity on my own videos that are around that old, so I’m figuring others are getting this as well.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is now available for free.

...well, I mean, you probably could've grabbed a GOG offline installer out the back of a truck earlier, but NOW it's Official/Legally Free and has the in-development community patch packed in for ongoing support. www.oldunreal.com/downloads/ut2004/full-game-installers/
