I've played games before Duke3D:
- Legend of the Seven Paladins (China only, and doesn't dwelve itself down into lame jokes either)
- Tekwar
- Witchaven
- Powerslave
all before Duke3D
Oh, Goodness, how I do miss cooperative multiplay. My friends and I used to enjoy Blood so, as well as Doom, Duke, Heretic, RoTT, Shadow Warrior, etc. Except for when the F@%*()% CRASHED! Those were the days.

they all sucked so much. although witchaven (both) got its textures ripped apart among many build-engine games total conversions. and it was kinda neat to see bloody player's hand in powerslave.
remember that shadow warrior in it's first version was supposed to be something like a serious game actually, on the blake stone engine (i think). maybe then 3drealms decieded that the world needs sort of asian duke3d?

I played them all but they're hardly worth mentioning since they use what, 20% of build's capabilities?
same voice actors of course. it was ok and stupid and fun but one line was uber-repetitive, it was billy ray jeter's pain sound when he screams "ow, f###er!".
One thing I liked about RR was the hi-rez textures and sprites. Couldn't stand them terrible CGI characters though, gotta love photographed figurines! (Blood)
They could have done the hi-rez thing in Blood or SW too! Of course, that led to lazy CGI art compared to painstakingly hand-edited photos, I suppose.
Come to think of it, there was SOME hand-drawn art in RR, I think...

RR got few interesting options such as getting drunk which impair visuals and controls. hehe also pork and chicken feeds on grass... Hires textures doesnt go well with relatively poor animation..
