Boot Disk: Clive Barker's Undying


Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well!

Doom 3 is the pinnacle of these kinds of games, with many people simply labeling it as a startle game, not a horror game.

So let's head back to the Wayback machine to see what other PC games would be good for an eventual comeback. Among our choices this time are a sci-fi multiplayer shooter, a medieval sneaker game and a classic adventure title.
