The first time my friend and I fired up Unreal we were completely blown away. The flyby camera through the castle at the menu screen was unlike anything we had seen before.
Comment on If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?

It's hard to pick just one:
-
Deus Ex. It's timelessly topical despite being released in 2000. It predicted the War on Terror and a massive pandemic to name a couple.
-
Spiritfarer, for maximum onion chopping. Saying goodbye to Gwen really messed me up since I became very attached to her, and I can't finish the last stretch of the game because it's too emotionally taxing.
-
Undertale and wholesome fan-games like Act to Flirt.
-
Half-Life 2, circa 2004 when it was a leap ahead of everything else. I was unsettled by the teaser screenshots due to how real it all seemed to be during its heyday. (I did re-capture part of that feeling with M Mod and its great yet faithful modernisation effects. Plus there's some blursed mods you can combine with it such as replacing Alyx with Krystal, voiced by the original actress.)
-
Duke Nukem 3D: Alien Armageddon. It blew me away how much custom content and passion has been invested, so good that it almost felt like I was playing Duke Nukem for the first time all over again.

Have you checked out Unreal Tournament 99? Also has a fly-through of a building, and boy that game was awesome and still is.

Yeah, that one’s great! I played a ton of it back in the day. Lots of fun was had with the ChaosUT and Unreal4Ever mods.
