Best Competitive 1990's Games on PC

Quake III Arena

Fucking. Hell. Yes. The Arena is a cruel, cruel Mistress - she will build you up, only to break you, & just when you think you’re rid of her, she’ll drag you back into her clutches.

In short, for those of you who are woefully unaware, Quake 3 is hands down the pinnacle of the “Old School” ’90s FPSs designed by the original id Software team, using an entirely different Gameplay model than the Modern FPSs of CoD & BF. A more common term for it is “Twitch Gaming” due to the extreme level of reaction time required to truly match up against not only other players, but also the Bots. To quote Dark Souls - “Prepare to Die”, because you will, over, & over, & over.

Great game. Today I have remembered what it’s like to play 16x16 and it’s really really fun. Shooting mechanics feel very smooth. Love it. I guess I understand why people still play this game.

This game provides a simple but addictive gameplay with 2 modes and 3 versus options.

If you can’t afford to buy a football table in real life, buy this game instead and you’ll experience the same.

Not a help screen in sight. I couldn’t get it to recognize my controller. And honestly, in my opinion, just slamming on a DosBox was not the way to drag this into the modern day. I’m having it refunded and I suggest you steer clear as well.

Jumpala

Ive played a lot of jumpala. From the early builds to the demos and finally release. I can say this game has a lot of replay value with a good amount of variety in the gameplay and playing style no 2 matches are going to be the same. Not to mention the secrets you can find. This game has a community that is very welcoming and encouraging making me very excited to see the future of the game.

Just got done playing this game with a friend online for several hours. It’s late and we should go to bed, but we couldn’t put the controllers down. The game is addicting and a ton of fun to play. We laughed with each other and had a great time. I highly recommend this game!

TF2 is jampacked with bots so we should play this instead.

QUAKE

A very solid port and remaster. I personally prefer playing the game as it was originally meant to be played on Quakespasm, but this is the most easily accessible version of the game and it comes with a lot of awesome goodies. Machine Games & Nightdive are doing god’s work by not only maintaining this build, but adding on to it over time. Quake is one of those classics that just can’t be beat, and it’s fantastic to know it’s only getting more accessible.

An excellent port and remaster of the original Quake bundled with online multiplayer and brand new expansions (Dimension of the Past is the biggest highlight). The dark fantasy setting and visceral / brooding ambiance makes Quake feel very unique from contemporary First Person Shooters even two decades after it’s release. Even at full price there’s hours upon hours of content to enjoy, couldn’t recommend this enough.

Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition

one of the best games ever made. while other games may earn that title by being completely unique, masterfully designed, or progressive for video games as a medium, unreal tournament earns it by being a metric sh*t ton of fun. ut99 doesn’t care about perfectly fine tuning and balancing everything for competitive play, or having a complex story, or even just making sense in general. all it cares about is letting you play whatever you want and do whatever you want within the confines of the game engine.

This is my

–————- FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME —————–

Nothing else even comes close.

Absolutely gorgeous aesthetic, brilliant weapon design, fast-paced and satisfying action.

The BOTS in this game are GENUINELY INTELLIGENT! And you can let their difficulty AUTO-ADJUST to fit EXACTLY at your skill level! Bots should be standard in FPS imo. ESPECIALLY MULTIPLAYER! The player should NEVER be slave to what others want to play. No players, no game in multiplayer gaming. This is why I can still play Unreal Tournament when and how I want FOREVER! And I have done exactly that so far.
