The original UT

[N2gaming]

Hello Gamers
Does the original Unreal Tournament play well on Win-XP (SP-3)? my daughter just got a PlayStation 3 and also got U.T. and man-o-man after watching her play a little I am freaking jones'n for some U.T.

I'm pretty sure I ran it on WinXP...give it a shot and see!

 

[Sulaco]

Yes, it runs fine. Spent many a night playing it on XP.

 

[Schadenfroh]

The original UT and Deus Ex are best enjoyed on Windows 98SE with a Voodoo5 5500 in GLIDE mode with an Aureal Vortex sound card running A3D.

I remember running it in Windows 2K Pro, so it should be fine in XP

 

[zerocool84]

Hell I've even played it on W7 and it runs fine.

IMO, one of the greatest games ever, and it ran fine for me in XP!

I have a 98 and V5500 but nobody has an Aureal card. If you use XP the game looks great with a modern GPU and the enhanced OpenGL renderer and S3TC textures from the 2nd disc.

Patch it to 436, install the OpenGL textures from the second CD, and download the updated OpenGL driver from here:

Don't do it... Just like going back and watching Voltron isn't worth it. You ruin the memory of how great it was by seeing just how absolutely stupid it is today.

That goes for anything. I have so many examples. Giants:Citizen Kabuto. I remember that game having gorgious graphics. I loaded the game up a few years ago and was dissapointed...

Thunder Cats was an awesome show. I tried to watch a few episodes and laughed at how I could have enjoyed that.

Leave it be...

WITH THAT SAID... UT was one of the best multi-player shooters of all time! I... Just don't want to go back and play it. It will ruin the memory of its greatness.

Still a few floating around:

I was gonna DL it from Steam or D2D, I'll let you know how it is. I'll probably just play single player anyway and, well, for about $14.oo I think its worth it if the graphics are pretty good

you could probably get the real thing on ebay or amazon for 5 bucks and not deal with tacked-on steam stuff

I play it to this day along with Quake 3 / Live.

Oh man, that game was amazing... That and Sacrifice. Early 2000's gems.

 

[BFG10K]

Yep, it looks pretty good with the high resolution textures and updated OpenGL renderers. It runs perfectly on XP and Windows 7 (64 bit).

Whoa, what?

Off to Google!

 

[PrayForDeath]

Yeah, believe it or not, they even have updated textures for the original Unreal (singleplayer game.)

 

[BFG10K]

Whoa, what?

Off to Google!

The textures are on the second UT game disc.

 

[jlee]

The textures are on the second UT game disc.

Ohh. I was hoping for something newer. Ahwell.

I may reinstall it anyway, for old times' sake. I loved UT.

 

[N2gaming]

Well, I'm currently playing SS3 so when I finish that I will (probably) DL it from Steam and then play one of my all time favorites EVER!!!

Also, since I'm going back some years, WOW!! would I love to play the original DOOM on todays system and using a mouse cause when DOOM first came out I just started using the keyboard only.
Btw, that was my introduction to FPS, hehehe, DOOM!! it was on my 1st computer which was a 486 DX2....old skool Dawg!!

i still play doom regularly and create maps for it (). all you need is Doom.wad and a Windows source port, i like ZDoom. or get Chocolate Doom if you prefer and oldschool DOS-like feel and very minimal added features. no reason to use dosbox for doom really.

@SonicIce, how are the graphics? btw, I LOVED the music in DOOM, wow was that freaking chill'n or what, LOL
