@swaaye shared this video of an Alien game, 'cos the other day marked the 7th anniversary of Alien Isolation launch date.

Also wanted to share this video, which seems impressive for the time.

Alien Resurrection trailer (PS1) - YouTube

This game reminds me of my second favourite alien game, Alien vs Predator. The marine campaign was superb. I couldnt believe it when I got it "for free". I purchased the Sound Blaster Live! and I noticed that it was bundled with Alien vs Predator. It wasnt typical at the time, iirc.

Hello, does anyone know what is the native resolution of "Cars 3 Driven to Win" on Nintendo Switch in tv mode please ?

But then again I'm not much of a racing fan either.

I think you would be if you had a forcefeedback wheel

Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart. I recently discovered this game thanks to a youtuber.

The game uses the Doom engine and it's a blast!

You can download it here. It's sooooo fun.

SRB2Kart has been released « Sonic Robo Blast 2 – Official Website

Also the game allows you to use hundreds of mods featuring new characters, like Fatal Fury staff, or 2B, Link from Zelda, etc etc etc.

It also has a very successful Discord server with thousands of users.

heheeheh superb. The mod still exists.

Quake rally mod - Mod DB

From what I've seen, there is a Quake 3 Rally mod too.

I'd love a Quake 3 or Doom 3 kart mod tbh.

Thats just amazing for 1999 tech, wow. Its a tech demo, but still, its realtime.

A tech demo but it was surpassed by games then (silent hill, ffx-xii...)
Same for the water tech ! (Splashdown)

the first tech demo with the birds was for randomized path movement if I recall.
There was also another one I cant find which I think had an hourglass and a few other objects on a desk!
I really want to find that one.
