Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.
I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.
Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea
Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.
It was one of the early games I got for the PS2.
I didn’t really like it tbh. Ammo was way too sparse. Don’t think I ever finished it.
One day I will pick that game up for the 8th time and actually finish it.
Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.
I laughed so hard the first time I saw this.
I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child
Klaymens Theme is an all time banger
That game is so good, one of my early gaming memories
I still sometimes hear music from the game used in videos
Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven’t played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. I don’t think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.
Heard it felt unfinished
I remember the levels being copy/paste rooms, but things like bathrooms and break rooms were absent. It didn’t really feel like a real world people live in.
I remember them boasting that an architect contributed to the level design. Turns out, real world environment design didn’t map to early 2000’s game design very well.
Now designing a modern VR game or something, that might be a different story.
I didn’t know there was a jewel case version. Mine is in a DVD case.
omg the Neverhood.
I still use the song “Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong” from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.
My favorite was always “dum da dum doi doi.”
Everybody waaaaiiill

Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It’s amazing that it is in such good condition.
The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.
There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.
Yup skullmonkeys is great. It’s in a box with my Game sharked PS1 for playing a copy of Bushido Blade once a decade.
Fuck yeah Neverhood!
absolutely loved Oni, still one of my favorites ever.
I never thought I would see blade of darkness again. Thank you for sharing.
One of my favorite games. One time I was able to dismember a guy completely before his body hit the ground.
Sharing your cd key, are you now?
Gunman Chronicles is unironically great. Granted, I love games with ludicrous numbers of weapons, but the fact that the weapons have a bazillion firing modes is fun.
Oni is so good.
I seriously don’t think this game gets enough credit. It basically invented the combat system used in a bunch of AAA titles today. Like the Batman games. Sure they have been refined and improved it, but it was revolutionary at the time.
Now I can finally activate my RtCW
