Edit: and that includes reverse mouse.. that is standard if you are aold enough Wink

yes, a friend thinks im a freak for playing inverted mouse. seems rational to me, as if you pull back on a joystick you look up.

was doom 1 / wolfenstein inverted by default ?
Doom .... oh man the huge pixels, went to bed, closed eyes, and the damn flickering was still there for ages !

fov for me is variable between maybe 80-85 on long range maps like map16, zoom option on mouse is far too slow to be of use.
90-100 seems more use on close range like maps 1 and 4.

tried a joystick back on quake 2 iirc, about as much use as an ashtray on a motorkbike.

Not likely, since neither of these had up/down panning at all
Quake 1 however, at least up to 1.01 had inverted by default, we argued about this in the old foprum, and i installed it from orig disks, and yes, inv. was default at least up to 1.01

Doom .... oh man the huge pixels, went to bed, closed eyes, and the damn flickering was still there for ages !

I remember making quite some maps for Doom2 in that time.. Hmm maye remake

Well, I'm not sure if doom1 had a lookup function anyway!?!? Twas 1993 wasnit? My first love

[kern]

yes 1993/4 my first real PC 486DX2 66 .... Powaaah
14/28k modem and how much RAM ? was it 4 or 8 meg? jeez.

quake 2 was the first time i played online i think. then i upgraded to 56k.
The up/down aiming i remember, i more of less stood still to take aim )))
later joined q3f clan. many hours of fun.


didnt Quake 1 have the head of the doom soldier in a room someplace ? or was it 2 ?

Neither Doom 1 or Wolfenstein 3D used vertical mouselook. Duke Nukem 3D could do (it was a rather hidden option) and it was the other way round. Always have to have it 'inverted' to get it working what to most games is the right way.

nukem did u ever get the map for the danceclub, cant remember its name.

had a few naughty extras in there if you knew where to hit them.

For Doom You had to have 8MB; I remember Stani (StaniD in game) who's still my colleague told my boss I'd need this for working on my 486DX50 . That's when we started gaming over LAN. Then came Doom2, Heretic, the 3 Descent versions and SOF (or did I play this single only???). Few Years later we had fine Lunchtime LAN-Parties with Unreal Tournament.

Duke Nukem was sooooooo fine, I loved to hear him talkin'

Actually my first online game is indeed Nexuiz

The modems in 93 were really fast running 9.6K *rofl*

good ol tymes...

I've had it working with 4Mb. I had to dsiable the disk caching TSR to get it to work. 4Mb was published as the minimum but since most people had to use a hack like this it wasn't realistic.

The level in Duke Nukem 3D which was partly in a nightclub was E1L2 (note the L, not M as in Quake) and it was called 'Red Light District'.

For those of you with the original game, try JonoF's Duek3D port. It has OpenGL graphics and some other nice things:

I didnt.. because i had a GUS, not a shitty soundblaster Or was that later? ANyways.. I had 16MB at that time.. jeez, I ruled.. then i spent some 400€ on 64MB more.. man.. those were the times. Do you have any ide how long i had to deliver the newspaper to pay for that RAM

[Urmel]

Yep and sure it rocked as even Win95 couldn't handle more than 32MB
