I don't feel like people talk about this game And I think Unreal should deserve way more praise. Get this unreal Came out before half life But then it was overshadowed by half-life.

The original Unreal is considered obscure? If so that's pretty surprising, considering the Unreal Engine has been one of the most popularly used ones out there across the years.
I remember playing it when it came out, it was pretty impressive for the time from what I remember. I actually replayed the gold edition off GOG a couple years ago, was still a fun game.

kerdios Take your time to compare to graphics between the two games you just mentioned.

I wouldn't consider it obscure either. It was the reason to buy a new PC at its day, and the Unreal engines still bear its name.
The most lasting effect however was its multiplayer mode, especially the competent bots. This was so great that the later installations - Unreal Tournament - just focused on this aspect. Quake III Arena, that you posted a pictue of, came out a whole year later and it tried to copy it. Quite badly, I thought at the time.
Duke Nukem 3D is still a sprite-based game. I don't know in which way you mean that this is similar.
Sadly, it never had a worthy sequel. Unreal 2 pretty much trashed all the aspects that made Unreal good and is just another bland early 2000s FPS.
You couldn't be more wrong. I assume you didn't play it back in the day. Some consider it a milestone in term of storytelling and graphics. But while this was impressive, it was really a pinnacle in level- and worldbuilding.

yeah, no
, I never had enough cash to buy the best pc and state of the art games so I never got around to playing all those FPSs that came out, plus I never was one to be very enthusiastic about FPSs, so even though I have heard about Unreal, I've never actually played it. (except maybe a demo of a story-less PvP mode which would have turned me off of it immediately).
