I still have copies for StarCraft and Diablo II along with the original disks still in the jewel cases.Īnd I can barely remember the game itself. That would come later when my wife stopped working and we bought a house in a good school district.īesides which, I used to make backup copies of most of my game CDs back then. But that would have been unlike me at the time as I had a good job and the mortgage on my soon-to-be wife’s condo was what one would call laughably cheap these days, so I wasn’t skimping on expenses. I have an old Memorex CD-R with “Starsiege Tribes” written on it in Sharpie, so I suppose I could have pirated it. I don’t have the box any more, but I have tossed most of my game boxes over the years. I cannot even remember if I actually bought the game. I could have heard about it on GameSpot for all I know. Some part of me thinks I must have read about it over at Firing Squad, the gaming site of Dennis Fong, who later went on the create XFire and then Raptr, but only because I used to read the site regularly. I cannot recall considering buying it or having somebody suggest it to me. And, of course, EverQuest was looming, soon to launch and steal away all my play time for a year or two.Īnd in the midst of all of this, I played Tribes. The aforementioned Delta Force was on the scene and we were trying to play that using Roger Wilco, and early gaming voice coms package. Sojourn MUD had become TorilMUD and was about at its peak. We were playing StarCraft and Age of Empires at the office a lot. I loved me some Total Annihilation back then. Diablo and Civilization II were still hot properties, while their successors were being actively discussed. The problem is that Tribes came out during a time when I was playing a lot of memorable games. One was Nova Logic’s Delta Force, which I have written about already. That is not the last FPS I played, but the last one I really enjoyed.Īnd then there were two just about in the middle of that range.
Just listening to the music from the opening credits brings back memories.

Maybe I just work for the wrong company these days.Īt the near end is the Desert Combat, which isn’t even a game, just a mod for Battlefield 1942, which is more than a decade away in time. In fact, I can only really come up with four titles that I was ever really into in any significant way.Īt the far end of the list is Marathon, the classic from Bungie, now more than 20 years old, which we used to play on the network at the office after hours… back when companies let you play video games after hours and issued employees machines capable of running them. The launch of Overwatch got me thinking about first person shooters that I have enjoyed over the years, a list that is pretty short relative the number of titles in the genre.
