Space Hulk - Intro

[Kzszlitv3km]

What is the song call? :(

[Kzszlitv3km]

They should remake it for classic.

[igatube]

i like the music badly

[DangerousD6969]

I miss games like this

[007hor]

Looks like it would've made a decent 16bit sidescroller shooter going by the intro animations.



[ImTooLazyToTyp]

Fucking bad ass intro.

[KNIGHTFALLGAMES]

I had this game too, it was very difficult!

[voodoochild1138]

We bring death!

[mofos4]

The beginning sounds like a porn film.

[josephddd117]

guys i need help please, im playing space hulk off of dosbox on xp and i am duing mission 3. so i destroy the statue an then genestealers come pooring in. i kept killing the hord of genestealers but they just keep coming and coming! i fought the hord for an hour or so and died. is the hord eventualy going to stop or do i have to do something?

[HardWarUK]

All the Warhammer games are hard (up until DoW) but I have got better at them over the last 15 years or so of owning them!

[borewiczandgogol]

I remember that my PC was to weak for this game.

Back in the beginning of 90s I had 386SX25 2mb ram, S3512 graphics 14'640x480 display 40mg hdd SBpro

wolfenstein and civ1 worked fine though, both with music Adlib.

Any1 remember those times?

[weaselfierce]

Man, the intro looks way better than the amiga version but the music is shite. I guess you can combine the two and it'd be awesome :) Ace game though

[TrickyCatSimpleKiss]

OVERWATCH!

INCOMING ON NINE

DIE SLIMEBALL

INCOMING ON FIVE

INCOMING ON THREE

INCOMING ON SIX

-GUN JAMMED-

Me: FUUUUUUUUuUUUUu

[NFSReplay]

I knew Warcraft was inspired by Warhammer, but I didn't know Starcraft was by Warhammer 40k. The marines and monsters in this video look a lot like the terran marines and zerglings in SC.

[slammedc2003]

@NFSReplay Yeah, it's funny that StarCraft is more popular worldwide than Warhammer 40K. I personally believe the 40K universe is much more interesting and I also like the PC games better.

[Jimmy424]

this game was/is awesome fantastic but hard as a hell too : /,this is false the right name is space crusade not space hulk...!

[HorusGodEmperor]

OH WOW! After looking on youtube for ages, I hear a sample of D-ROK!!!! Wish i had that album again :(

[cl0vvntiem]

God this game was so fucking hard

[Moleman171]

You do know they made it into a board game recently

[Highstar25]

it's always been a board game, they just made an updated version recently

[hanson666999]

God this is sooooooooo old now but still cool, who would have thought back then that we would have the games we got now! Graphics have come a long way.

[unknownkingdom]

Wow, it seemed so scary back when I was a kid. But now it's kind of cheesy. At least the voice acting -- You can tell that they didn't hire actors for the voices. It was just the nerdy programmers. (I'm a programmer)

[AllOfTheRestWillFlow]

it's still kind of cool though, in a retro way

[TornadoRayne]

Yeah, the voice acting was definitely not top notch, but it was better than nothing. I'm actually glad that the voices are laughable, because it distracted you from how tense the game could get.

[RUSRhythmic]

Yeah, most companies did that back in the day. At least they had enthusiasm.

[Feytor11]

love the stormbolter sound <3

[Astartes40000]

just what it should sound like :D

[minipancho94]

they need to remake alot of these old games not make a whole new game but update it a bit and make it smoother etc i just wish there was a company that would do stuff like that

[totedoggy69]

still an awesome vid to this day with such basic tech at the time.

[pwnmaster77]

can i get this game on my computer from some website? cuz i realy want to play it havent played it before because i wasnt alive when this came out

[Guns2031]

depends on what platform. Grab an emulator and DL a Rom

[Moks89]

just type in Space Huld into the Google (eventually with little abandonwere)

[Mopperty]

To the left!

OVERWATCH!!

[ClunytheScourge1]

I enjoyed this game back in the day, but the intro was even more entertaining than the game itself. I watched it over and over when I was a kid.

[Dodershift]

Why did the commander only get a power sword when all the other terminators got power fists o_0

[pwnmaster77]

prefered weapon of the commander

plus more reach keeps the uglys away

[Dodershift]

kk he's pretty badass in the board game.

[Geistxxxx]

They should remake this game that would be so mint :) :)

[DDL323]

It's planned that the Game will be remake in Septembre.

[blarg552]

where do you get this info?

[killerguildmonk77]

thats one funky intro tune.

[ActionReplayMasters]

i hav the sequel for ps1 and it doesnt look much better

[ActionReplayMasters]

the game looked better than doom

[navesele]

And it was also much more limited in environment navigation than doom

[sleinfer]

You have to understand that it was meant to be like a board game, it really added to the tactical element

[navesele]

Maybe if you considered the comment I was responding to, it would make sense to you.

[sleinfer]

I did as a matter of fact

[navesele]

Then you are either retarded or just like picking on people on the Internet. But you know what? I wouldn't give you either of these titles. I don't want to compliment strangers.

[sleinfer]

Ok, you know what? I wasn't trying to insult you, maybe if you took my comment into consideration you woulden't have thought I was trying to insult you.

[oogybear1]

it was 2d but I still totally agree

[athrumzalla]

Semper Fi, brave Battlebrothers of the 1000 chapters and guardsmen of a million worlds. ;-)

Uncle Emperor needs YOU. ^^

Dude, this game may be ancient, but the intro still rocks.

[phenomjsr]

the intro made me laught i wasnt even alive that game is older than me but still funny

[pwnmaster77]

theres this shit ver for the comp you can download for free nothing like this hate it its bullshit

[WorldsGreatestPerson]

Oh I had this game for PC on MSDOS, alot of memories. The intro movie was cutting edge for it's time.

Anyone know where I can get the theme song or the original version by d-rok on mp3?

[Ceekur]

Yes, it's a very nostalgic game for me as well.

And take a look at the video responses. I think your wish has come true. =)

Remember to watch the High Quality version though!

[miblah]

wat systems was it on?

[Ceekur]

This particular one is MS-DOS, which can now be emulated on any modern platform using Dosbox.

[athrumzalla]

i just dint ever understand why they didnt just blew-up those invested space hulks. they can exterminate planets in that game.

[Imenhotep]

Space hulks were ships, which were lost in warp for centuries and randomly go back in our universe. Space marines search here old relics, artifacts, weapons and lost technologies. After Horus Heresy were many of them lost and knowledge how to build terminator armors or titans=huge warmachines were lost. So Space Hulks are the same as christians closters after barbarisation of Europe, when knowledge was lost because of razing barbarians hordes.

[athrumzalla]

and i thought, they d go there just 4 fun... marine training ground x-D

right, i remember a mission, whereu had to get a small statue in a big hall and return it to the exit. sooooooo long ago.

[kirbymkiiFTW]

yah im pretty sure a genestealer cant rip of a god damn terminators head !

[ndeppftw]

they can

[Vespids]

zomg... so... many.... gene...stealers....

[iammjolnir]

and so few bolter shells.

[nigel101]

shame the game was poor.

[t0d51]

WTF?

[warforger2nd]

They are ok I guess, it seems that GW is sort of like Nazi Tech, they get good graphics for there time but stick with it long enough for other games to look way better.

[b0mbcityrocker]

those graphics were intense for back then, they still are good enough to be badass

[rollen01]

WOW EA and Gamesworkshop have been working together for a long time.

[contentandhappy]

Hey one question. What platform? I remember and loved Space Hulk for 3DO. But, this game is foreign to me. I would like to play it if at all possible.

[Ceekur]

This is the first Space Hulk game, which is on MS-DOS. I'm not sure what platforms the two games are on, (Space Hulk and SH: Vengeance of the Blood Angels) but from this one list, I only see the 3DO having the second game. The Playstation has the sequel as well, while the PC has both.

[joeatsgnomes12]

hahah awesome

[OneAndOnlyOverlord]

Can you download the song "Get out of my way" anywhere in good quality? Never found it and the quality in game just sucks

[rafanavega]

This is the prime age where games had 'those' graphics, so well worked that you couldn't figure how a human could paint that in DeluxePaint for DOS. Wonderful universe, Warhammer 40k is.

I bought the Space-Hulk board game from eBay some months ago - just by the smell of the box and pieces you get that feeling of "classicness" that filled the hobby universe back then. The box cover wasn't digital art, it was painted by hand, also showing the amazing marksmanship but in analog form :)

[evildogheretic]

the best thing about these old games is that they had little storage they all worked in tiny offices no big companies.

And today EA and other huge gaming companies are churning out crap these days.

The old stuff had alot of care put into it.

I mean look what happened to Westwood studios the creators of the world famous command and conquer series they got eaten up by EA and then all the new cnc games got crap.

[WolksVagon449]

The EA logo used to be one signaling pure quality. Take a look at Chuck Yeager's Air Combat. Classic game that defined combat flight simulators. Now the produce fps that look like every other one.

[tacticalspoon]

I couldn't agree more. But, people buy crap games by the shitload. Look at oblivion. It's simply not going to stop.

[komberbach]

I'm playing this game again on Dosbox...and it's as every bit as difficult as i remember!!!

i'm a bit past halfway through the campaign now (current map: "search for evil" where i have retrieve a CAT device) I can't seem to find it though i'm sure i scoured every bit of the map. (i suppose it's asking too much if any of you remember?)

oh yeah, and i've come to the conclusion that the emperor must not really love his space marines... who gives marines weapons that jam every 10 shots or so?

[rafanavega]

What version of DosBox are you using and where did you get the game from? I got it from an abandonware site and stuff, but the starting screen just keeps black and not doing any sound.

[thebunnyshed]

"The Dark Angel Chapter!"

Man that brought back memories! I used to play this on my 386sx-25. It was one of the few games to really use my new 8-bit mono Soundblaster clone and it KICKED ARSE!

Agree it was insanely difficult, but it generated real fear. Use to shit myself when then aliens started running!

[OneAndOnlyOverlord]

That's right, that game created an atmosphere... you could feel the pain when a terminator died and you started feeling really responsible for them. When all were dead you felt a personal defeat, not just klick, restart. On the other hand there was nothing more satisfying to see a Genestealer get smashed right in front of you!!

[neglesaks]

Even the demo scared me so much that I dared not play it after sunset! :D

[komberbach]

This game was fun but insanely, INSANELY, difficult! Is there anyone here that actually completed the campaign?

[captaintripps6969]

Yeah, the guys who programmed it ;-P The damned game was INSANELY difficult I agree.

[Riptide555]

I compleated it, took me forever though.

The game had that "make a mistake and its back to square one for you!" thing going.

I had a bit of an advantage since i had played the TBG so I knew how the material.

Still it was hellahard.

[captaintripps6969]

Yeah the whole start your ass over from the beginning STILL permeates the WH40K games to this day, notabaly Fire Warrior (PC/PS2) which I feel is a great Halo knock off. Had it come out first it would have been (maybe) hailed as the best. I never played TBG WH40K, didn't have enough cash from mowing lawns for all the sets. I did and still do play BattleTech at least once a week or once a month. Ever miss the doys of "old school" games?

[Riptide555]

Well at least the Dawn of war RTS games are good, even true to the feel of WH40K.

And yes I do miss it sometimes, Space Hulk and Talisman (both from GW then) were the first games I played that didnt fit into the "family" line of games like monopoly or trivial pursuit.

Man those opened up a whole new world of games for me.

One thing I found frustrating with SH the PC game was how the close combat "worked". Either you annihilated 100 targets, or the first killed you, there was no in between :-(

[captaintripps6969]

Either you annihilated 100 targets, or the first killed you, there was no in between :-(

Damn... THAT would have sent me into a keyboard smashing rage. Did SH release before or after the first Warcraft. Speaking of Warcraft I've run across this guy or girl who REFUSES to believe that the first WC RTS is the basis for WOW. I don't play WOW or any MMORPG but I do recall buying WC when it debuted.

[Riptide555]

The first WC: Warcraft: orcs and humans, was the start of the warcraft franchise, it did well.

Then WC 2 came out, and it was huge, really catapulted BLizzard to stardom.

WC 1 is the basis for WoW the same way the knife is the basis for the sword, its the roots.

Still in all fairness the world of WoW is based on the events and characters established in WC 3, so I suppose your both right in a way.

[MannPower]

*Shudders* Fire Warrior... I'm sorry, but that game was just awful. Perhaps the worst 40k game I had played.

[StevoE26]

fire warrior was an awsome game... true it could have been alot better but it still owns, maybe its my love of the tau that makes me think this way lol ^_^

[Riptide555]

Aw man now I feel old.

Back in the days when games actually came in frigging FLOPPY disks.

I agree the graphics are not much to look at compared to what we have now but back in the day that was kick ass!

Remember this was back in the days of yore before we had DVDs and MB drives were gold :D

[captaintripps6969]

Don't feel too old, my first modem was a 1200 baud. I can also clearly recall buying a ten megabyte hard drive and thinking "Man I'm never gonna fill this thing up, it's TEN frickin' megs." :-D

[Riptide555]

Hehe yes indeed.

This was in the days of yesteryear before the internet provided us with plenty of porn, music, games and videos to fill those poor empty storage units with.

[captaintripps6969]

Were you a BBS user or perhaps a SysOp? So far you're the first person I've met online who knows what I mean when I say baud.. From the age of 11 to 15 I ran a board called Dead Lazlos. If you were a User did you ever play TradeWars 2k, The Pit, Food Fight, or any other of those great ascii door games?

[MannPower]

I remember TradeWars!

Ha, baud. There's a term I haven't heard in a long time. Started on 2400, moved up to 14.4, then 28.8, and finally 56k. I remembered downloading craploads of shareware from BBSes back in the day.

[scalpine]

LOLOLOL LMAO

[WolksVagon449]

Please tell me that's not the real voices. XD

[iammjolnir]

no luck there. the voices are original

[jwjrangers]

in the about this video section yes this game is "about" space hulk but it is not space hulk original. the original was a tabble top game between space marines (back then called space hulks) fighting off a swarm of genestealers which expanded to many other races of aliens and mutants now called warhammer 40,000 or W40K. theres ya history for ya =)

[jeanstealer]

actually space hulks were the derelict spaceships the game took place in

[Guardsman2301]

The term "Space Hulk" in the original table top game could be any large object of man-made, alien or natural origin, usually several miles from one end to the other in the fluff. And 40k originated from the table top RPG "Rogue Trader" that established the basics for today's 40k

[gameguy09]

rofl whats this rated??? its freakin bloody and... surpisingly awesome :D

[krispydude12]

I like this song! So classic video game style like duke nukem or something^^

[Blackivar]

-charges up asulat cannon- BANG BANG BANG dead!

genestealer jumps on terminator minces xD !ace just like teh good'ol days

[brand666]

Fun times... I'm really hoping for a well-crafted W40K FPS for the PC.

[GregorytheImpaler]

An awesome game, and ( I remember playing the Sega Saturn version ) the blood splattered on the walls was beautiful. Damned Genestealers!

[collieuk]

I used to love listening and watching the intro, highly atmospheric and cool. I really like the basic arcade sounding sfx and gun noises as well 'BOOM BOOM'.

I was hoping to play Space Hulk tonight, only I tried to install the game and the bloody old floppy disks aren't working. It's just as well they abolished floppies for CDs and DVDs. They don't usually go wrong as often.

Damn the game was unforgiving too. One gun jam could cost the whole mission.

[Ceekur]

Yeah, this game really has its atmosphere, which can be accredited to the music, ambience, sound fx, and many other aspects. Floppy disks? This game came on a CD for me, complete with a box and case. I didn't know they sold it on floppies as well. Yeah, some of the missions can really be arduous and seemingly impossible. I remember I really hated the missions that had no prelaid map and the missions where they ambush you. Unfortunately, in the New Missions, they usually were together.

[PoPoNellie]

Originally when it first came out in the US it was on Floppy. EA was just switching to CDs for all their games so it a CD alternative with full speech appeared a few months after the floppy run. Then when it was pulled from the shelves and reserved for classic status it was repressed onto new CDs.

[Grimskull44]

I didn't see any mention of the full voice, in that did they speak even when you gave individual orders, or just as it does on my version("Eat Metal"(in the rare case that the power fist killed the genestealer,or he had the lightning claws), not sure, but something like "Contact on 8"(when you have 2 squads and can't see the other squads screens), "Burn"(Kill with Flamer), but nothing for individual normal kills etc.)

[PoPoNellie]

well let me clarify that. It's not full speech as in loads of dialog. What was meant is that it had whatever speech produced for the game added in and not on a separate disk as popular with several games back in the day. Sorry for the confusion.

[SpaceHulker]

this game = my old kinder garden :D

[LorDGIGAN]

yeah the musik is doom-like

[lehou1]

The voices sound like a 14 year old :D

[Drogmir]

I remember this game,. really hard to beat

[abdaloser]

i want the song at the beggining

[BoyofmanyNames]

There should be a sort of re-make

[Alianger]

Haha, that voice shouting out the chapters was hilarious. Never heard it before because when I had this I didn't have a proper sound card. Anyway, pretty cool intro even today. I think it captured the 40K atmosphere very well.

[abdaloser]

love the beats at the begginning!

[bigpoppa1234]

man that would be sweet.

[Luy22]

I demand that this game be remade into a next-gen system!

[Humakt83]

This game was filled with tension. When you are the only one left of the space marines and scanner is filled with red dots from every direction; you know you have it coming.

[antorkh]

awesome! why cant they make such cool intros today?!?
