Guys, Blood was one of my first game, i launch on PC when parents buy it (back in 1999 :) And it was the first 3D shooter game, i ever played. Remember, how awesome it was - music, graphics, monsters, healthy humor! I never seen such deep, attractive and wonderfull atmosphere. Damn, even today, Blood is my favorite game in entire FPS genre, and it always will be. What can be wrong with this game? That's right - nothing. This is a perfect example, how game should be. It's bloody. It's a classic. It's a masterpiece for all time. Best regards to all Blood fans.

[@SeriousTails]

***** Yea, It was an pretty great game. The reason It was so amazing and atmosphereic was because of the Build Engine, It was a pretty great engine and could beat DOOM's with lighting and such (It can be done nowadays though).

[@Xerxes1688]

***** Similar story here. I got my first PC in late '99, a couple of weeks later I bought Duke Nukem 3D. It was my first game. It came with a lot of extras in the CD, one was folders with screenshots of the beta versions of Blood, Shadow Warrior and Prey (the one that Paul Schuytema was developing). That's how I got to know those games.

[@Muskrat123]

I can't decide wheter my favorite one's "Fate of the Damned", "Infuscumous" or that one chant song from the non-MIDI version. There's a great metal/djent cover of Infuscumous made by the legendary Michael Markie (composer of Quake Champions: Doom Edition).

This game had so deep influence in my life. The level design inspired me so much that I reconstructed my kitchen in such a spirit. I completely love the game, though the monsters were plain stupid (and fun to kill). * Shadow Warrior already has it's comeback. * Thief already has it's comback. I did not play any of them. But hell I am hoping that they also make Blood with proper comeback. Blood indeed deservers it.

[@makethemdieslow]

+pile1983 Dude, you really need to link to pictures of a kitchen remodeled to resemble a level from Blood.

[@pile_ofsalt]

if they did the comeback, it should be done like Oddworld new and tasty. Still, there will never be any better Blood (or a game). Only Dead wish is better than original blood.

I never noticed before but Shipwrecked and Overlooked Hotel are remixes of each other. Shipwrecked has some of the same music as in Overlooked in the background, but it's played slower and at a lower key. Listen for it: 15:10 - 15:30 21:46 - 22:02 I think those are my two favourite songs from the game.

[@artorias-24]

Alban TheFragger Yeah it's on steam and gog, but the game still lags and is not optimized for windows pc.

I had to go to a trader with my mom who unofficially imported it from Switzerland or Austria to get it. :D

SO MANY MEMORIES I MISS MY CHILDHOOD!! GOOD TIMES PLAYING BLOOD!!

[@KrimsonKloud]

I kinda prefer the midi version to the CD version because on my version I was unable to turn down the music and sometimes hearing those voices in the background would get irritating. LOVE this game though, currently playing the second game and it doesn't have near the same magic as the first.

[@Franky4Fingers-m7k]

Yeah, Blood2 had a kickass intro for the game, but the rest failed, mostly because of bugs. I remember it got bad reviews because of the bugs and at that time games didn't sell if they didn't get top-notch reviews, people would just download them and not pay. And especially with blood2 as they actually had a bug that allowed to play the game without cd not having to even crack the game. There was some action elements in blood2 I liked and the overall concept art, Stephan Weyte voice was great in both games.

[@MadJak91]

The futuristic atmosphere also did not help the game much in my opinion. One of my favorite passages is the hospital building because it feels more like Blood but other than that. Eh. Even the temples at the end are meh because the enemies there are annoying. I think the action is still good though. Some level transitions are questionable since you have levels that last maybe a minute and are too linear but I guess they did what they could with their limited budget :/ SHOGO turned out much better in my opinion.

[@aaadj2744]

I believe Blood 2 had been rushed and a lot of content got cut out of the game, making it released in pre-matured condition. We can blame GT Interactive for screwing Monolith over the sequel and they were so impatient

[@johnsmith-bq2vt]

Probably a rare instance where the MIDI music is actually better than the boring CD quality music, although I am a little biased having not played the game with the CD music. The CD version of Fate of the Damned is crap, and where's The Overlooked Hotel? There's less tracks in total and it's already a soundtrack with few tracks as it is, so I'll stick to MIDI in this case.

[@RMJ1984]

It was actually the same for Age of Empires 1 and many other games.

[@theKbott]

I couldn't disagree more. The CD version is amazing IMO. The only downside is that the music doesn't loop ingame, so you have to load a save in order for the music to start over.

I'll never get all these MIDI vs CD arguments. If you ACTUALLY make comparations, you'll realise that some tracks are actually COMPLETELY different from one another and that at the end of the day is a matter of "which version of Dark Carnival you like the most? The purely musical one or the one with crowd noises?". As for me, I like some MIDI tracks better and I like other CD ones better as well. In a way, it's kinda sad how you can't mix them.
