This magic feeling. Can we find it in modern games ? I was searching and just couldn’t. Did you manage to find something ?

  Did you feel it with Quake too? If you were to find it today, it'd probably have to be an indie game. It's a bit of a jump, but if you like exploring alone you could try Scanner Sombre.

    Did you feel it with Quake too? well, With Quake not really :) It’s hard to explain why. I’ve seen nothing as satisfactory as shotgun in Doom. ;) More realistic - yes. Better rendered - yes, but nothing of the same level of satisfaction :) I think I know the answer but like with any art it’s difficult to put into words. Easier to make something with the similar energy. Perhaps one day … >… Scanner Sombre Thank you for the advice. I’ll take a look. I recall Elite was also nice once . I’ve made computer that was able to run it with my own hands which involved soldering and debugging it with oscilloscope for the first time in my life. So it was a double pleasure once it worked :) Or double magic :)

      I didn't really get Quake either. I don't think it really belonged anywhere; it was too strange, whereas Doom mixed the foreign and the familiar very well. I think Scanner Sombre does that too. Most games are too familiar these days considering that the story is told to you, but I think the best stories are the ones you live through. Making dedicated hardware seems amazing. I wish I had the time for it.
