Inspired by some of the classics like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and DOOM, the free shooter Darkenstein 3D has released and it's a rip-roaring good time.

    I’d like a modded version named Borkenstein 3D where you play as the dog and kill Nazis to save your human.

    Jeez, 18.6 gigs for a game that looks like that. I’m going to play it anyway of course, but I wonder why, with low res textures and models, that it takes that much space. Engine?
    Also, is this by the Microprose?
    PS: This actually looks more like a Serious Sam game than anything. Love it.
    PPS: For any Germans or Austrians, Rowye, the developer, has said that a GOG release is happening. iykyk.

      This looks like it’s actually 3D. Combined with modern sounds and music, probably a rather large library of textures regardless of resolution, and modern programming “sensibilities,” that’s what you get.

      Wolf3D fit on a floppy.

        And Return to Castle Wolfenstein fit on a CD-ROM.

        I’m a middle aged man now, I was around when 3D acceleration became a thing for PC, first with Voodoo 1 and so on and so forth. And let me tell ya, you don’t need 18 gigs for these graphics. Or maybe you do, maybe it takes like 200 hours to complete the game, idk. I’m just complaining about the compression.

          They’re just lazy now because storage is (relatively) cheap.

      This should be a feature in every game.

      Kinda reminds me of that rat “sidekick” in Comix Zone. Such a good little sidekick, flipping switches and finding items, even stunning some enemies if I remember correctly.
