I kekd

Most of my games I legally bought. But because of moving and losing things in the process, to the point now where I have absolutely no disks or cds left from the previous years I no longer have any backup copies.
> So basically im just restoring my collection that I bought back in the 90s and 00s.
Also with no bank account or plastic to buy things online with, I am not in the market and nobody would be getting my money anyway. It costs nothing to make a copy, and if I was never going to buy it, they wouldnt be out of any money whatsoever... and would be gaining free advertising from me taking screenshots and making mods.
> if somehow I find success and then dont have a problem with money, id have no problem re-buying these deluxe packs for the pocket change they go for these days.
And/or someone finds a way to do online commerce without electronic money.

Hexen 2, Strife, and Blake Stone are generally neglected by the /vr/ doom community.

Im personally guilty of this because I just never got into Hexen 2, played only the demo and I hated the limited weapon selection (like Hexen). The mithril wall you have to dissolve in the underwater passage also looked like it was made of straw and something about this was also a turnoff since Mithril is not supposed to look like that at all.

I managed to torrent or ftp Strife once and I couldnt even get past the starting area and fell in the river and died. I really didnt like the story for it either, a lame excuse for not including female characters in the game.
> no women, why even bother living as a slave for alien overlords
I couldnt figure out how to get started in that game anyway, just kept being killed before I could get anywhere.

> Blake Stone
Back in the day I loved me some BS but unless someone made a source port for it the mouse turning speed is way too low even with the slider set to maximum, and it forces the player to use the old keyboard setup. Which is really annoying and can make even a pro FPSer humble.

> Rise/Triad
People fleece it for resources, understandibly and justifiably, but the engine is quirky and the gameplay is silly. It has an interesting dynamic with the infinite ammunition and its easy to handwaive that.

But it doesnt have much longitude for being modded and with the game being so focused on its existing balance it would just be out of place and . Its perfect the way it is, and dated to 1994. It just doesnt change.
> the jumping is pretty damn unrealistic too, no falling damage, high ass jumps, its fun but it gets old

shit I forgot about that, I managed to kill the gargoyle boss thing with that once, I just figured it was going to run out of power and disappear
