You can still listen to the soundtrack though...
Linky Link
edit: The music of the first chapter isn't as good as the next ones. Don't get put off quickly.

Well done, bhtooefr! (Also I laughed at Violators will be soylented.)
Frikkin Serious Sam, man. Picked up the Humble shooter bundle and the remake of the first one is all I've gotten to so far. It is *quite* a serious endeavor.

On the topic of great video game soundtracks, I offer you...
The Operative!
No One Lives Forever!

On the topic of No One Lives Forever, apparently nobody knows what happened to the game. Case in point, not even Activision, the producer that gobbled up Vivendi, the original publisher, or Monolith, the studio that created N.O.L.F. and its sequel know where the rights are. Which is A FRIGGIN SHAME, because the game is the first ego shooter I've played, is FUCKING HILARIOUS, has great stealth sequences, is an homage to the spy film genre (but not parodying it like Austin Powers) with all the ridiculous spy gadgets that come with the genre, and involves the best character dialogue ever (including one scene where you overhear an armed guard confessing his love to someone, and when you go inside the room that someone turns out to be a goat).
The Wikipedia article sums the game up thus: The Operative: No One Lives Forever is a story-driven video game, set in the 1960s, and stars spy Cate Archer as the eponymous Operative, who works for UNITY – a secret international organization "dedicated to protecting humanity from megalomaniacs bent upon world domination." During the story of the game, Archer is sent on missions to a number of locales, including Morocco, East and West Germany, the Caribbean, and the Alps, where she gets into intense situations, such as scuba diving a shipwreck, free-falling from an airplane without a parachute, and exploring a space station in outer space, all the while fighting armed villains.
And it has an adaptive soundtrack, which is something I love in video games.

Just remember that we don't mention Serious Sam 1+1 (Although it was a pretty neat game.. it didn't fit the SS style or really much of the story, just that it was set in the SS "universe")
I still need to finish Serious Sam 3.. I couldn't for awhile because it kept making me nauseous for some reason.
Smooth McGroove is awesome... and he looks like a Viking :)

Check out SLAYRadio for some awesome Remixed C64 music and SceneSat for a wider selection from C64, Amiga and a few newer areas

(UT99 and UT2004 come to mind.)

I fixed it for you. Also.. I still play UT'99... that game is awesome for all the mods that are out for it and neat maps. I've played through Unreal using UT'99 map packs and mods about 10 times already.
--- Quote from: LTK on 15 Sep 2013, 09:52 ---I think Duke Nukem 3D was the last (good) Duke Nukem game but I haven't played any of them, so I might give it a shot to see what it's all about.
--- End quote ---
I still liked the recent ones too.. Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project was pretty cool; it was like Duke Nukem 3D + Duke Nukem 2 in that weird 2.5D. The gameplay was pretty awesome and the music was nice too. Duke Nukem Forever was still lots of fun, I can't understand all the hate it gets. You can't go into something like that with high hopes given it's... history. Granted, the loading times were a bit long.. but the game itself was still fun. I miss games like those where it's just "Hey.. kill these things.. that's it" and not a movie crammed into your face ever level/chapter of these military shooters.

Old (like Apple II-era) Apple CRTs smell amazing when they warm up.
My cube smells amazing now. (Warmed up an Apple Monitor //c.)
That is all.
