Looked in the magazine back in the day when i was almost teen, played it in gaming center somewhere 2002-2004, my mother threw magazine in trash and forgot the name of it. From that day i was looking for the name of the game to buy for myself after i got computer, all i could remember was bulky guy with a blue shirt. Now i can rest in peace.

This game was kinda obscure and hard to get IMO. Even the pirate shop dudes (back when the internet was not a thing for many of us plebs in Balkans yet) were puzzled when I one day came there to ask them if they had Rune game. They told me to come back an hour later (usually they'd say several hours or even a day later) so I bought the magazine I saw it in with me. When I got there they told they didn't know what this Rune game was so I showed it to them and they were surprised but determined to get into their games library so they told me to come back tomorrow and they got it. :)

Half an hour of shit to experiment with before the game even started. Look at wc3 custom maps and compare to the failed sc2 custom scene, how do they manage to screw that up? Moddability is another thing that's still not taken seriously by developers. With a ten times larger market comes ten times the vomit, look at EA and how they are fucking over every franchise.

Man I miss this game so much. I remember being in Middle School and playing it online with a friend from school went by Frost, was good enough that he was accepted into the major clan back then known as iNi. To this day the melee combat they pulled off with every weapon having completely unique combat. The weapon swing was varied by your movement, heading and camera. The skill level was crazy, I could hold my own for the most part but a true pro could cut my head off the first swing everytime... Reminds me of one dude we used to run into on some servers was a fukn straight ninja he'd hide in the most random spots and instantly dome you with a thrown hammer. Man I could let the nostalgia flow for real so instead please lemme know if any of you got pretty into playing online back then.

Being a 10 year old kid when Rune was on store shelves, I mostly chose PC games for my mom to buy me by the box art. A viking with a horned helmet and axe, with another weapon visibly sheathed on his back, it was the perfect game for me. And I poured hundreds of hours into the multiplayer even with our at the time 56k connection. I still became pretty good with 150-200 ping against players with around 20-50. When we first got a new computer and broadband cable internet in 2002, it was a night and day difference.

The glorious, original Unreal Engine. I can't think of a game made with this engine that I don't like. From Unreal with it's expansions, passing through Unreal Tournament, to games such as Deus Ex. I bet someone is reinstalling Deus Ex after reading my comment. The old PC gaming era, from the 90's to the early 2000's, was simply awesome. Well, the whole gaming in that era was awesome in general. Specially when Valve entered the market with Half Life, and Blizzard still making awesome, RTS games such as Warcraft and Starcraft. And with videoconsoles like the original Playstation, SNES, Saturn/Dreamcast, and the Nintendo 64. I'm really glad to be born in the 90's, but I really wish to live again in that era, having enough money to pay for everything. That era when videogames used to look like videogames, not like movies. How do I tell all those AAA companies, that I don't want to buy interactive movies? Aside from not buying them, of course. I want my 90's experience back!

I saw this game on popular german gaming TV show back then. It looked really cool to me. So I saved money and bought it at some point together with the expansion pack. I was pretty disappointed with the singleplayer and didn't play it for long. But I fell in love with the online multiplayer. Played it for years in various clans. You can fight pretty elegantly if you know what you're doing. After idk 4 or 5 years I gave the singleplayer another try. This time I finished it after a a while. Though I liked most of the experience, the totally stupid ai was a real problem for me. Knowing all these enemies because of playing around with console commands online wasn't helpful with that either. I actually think this is the game I played the most in my life. Well Halls of Valhalla at least.

This game reminded me of Drakan: Order of the Flame.

Severance: Blade of Darkness still was the Dark Souls of the time... those were the days...

That game was such a great thing. After beating it with multiple times, I still spent lots of hours in the arena mode that came with the Gladiator mod. Getting to doing all those combos by heart wasn't exactly easy, but extremely rewarding. And the shadow casting was something to behold. Even nowadays I often think "why are those shadows so edgy and eat up like half of my fps when I switch them on when Severance made it with no loss almost 20 years ago?". That was literally miraculous!
