  • I don't know why. Most 3D fps at the time were tech demos, but this one... wasn't...

  • @10samm10 Today... 3D FPS games ARE tech demos... RAGE was a total tech demo. No good gameplay whatsoever.

  • @Masterlink981 No way, Rage actually had fun gameplay. It was a tech demo yeah, but the gameplay was intact.

  • @10samm10 True.... but.... not really that fun. Got a bit boring after a few months.

  • Buggy as hell...:) but the graphics where amazing, remember playin it with my voodoo3 card;)) time flyes by....

  • Both of you guys, half life is a very good game and unreal it's awesome too

    Both games were the beginning of FPS games, both games are awesome.

  • Memories of Online Coop and admin cheats lol ;)

  • lol "prisoner 327 escaping" wonder what made them decide to change it to "prisoner 849"?

  • I have this game from original cd ^^ But is there any way to play this online now days? And how to fix problem when something explodes near me the games slowes down And is there any other Unreal game that has Campaing

  • 4 people had no childhood :O

  • I love this game so much this was one of th best games i have ever played and i think they should remaster it with better graphics the game deserves to be played by the younger generation but they wont play it unless it will have modern graphic

  • Unreal is not just a game, it's an experience.

  • Looks amazing! Cant wait for it to released!

  • @popcornboi22 mmh... yep xD

  • :)

  • @ICEFROST777

    GOG has it on sale today Unreal Gold

  • @ICEFROST777 Just buy the Anthology mate. comes with it

    

  • epic game

  • 3 people like Quake 2 haha

  • A true masterpiece. One of the FPS gods together with Half-Life, Quake, and Doom.

  • "The future of gaming"

    Yeah right, now it's all about boring "My life regens and I kill you with two pistol bullets" games... I wish infinity ward never made Call of Duty 4.

  • @TheTwB2Frager Actually, "wolverine-style" health was in CoD2 already. :)

  • @Dreadborn YEAH BREAK MY FUN TOO! D:

  • Thumbs up if you think that Unreal 1 should be re-done with UT3 graphics.

  • augenkrebs >.<

  • The caracther is a woman??

  • @DevilEnya12 ...In Unreal you choose your own gender or crossdresses - just about everyone unrealgame except unreal 2 since Unreal 2 was rushed by then Atari or then Infogames.

  • I have the game!!! Its istalled but I have to found the CD

  • By far the best unreal game.

    Best PC game ever!

    Now Id like EPIC to do a proper sequel or remake soon!

    Unreal 2 wasnt that good. Just let it be like this, the original.

    No fancy cutscenes and characters... just you on this hostile detailed atmospheric immersive alien world trying to get the fuck out of it! to survive...

    Also its been some time since the last UT... wouldnt hurt either with a new UT either IMO.

  • What is the name of this soundtrack?

  • Real-CTF was my favorite mod for this game back in the day. Unreal was my first online gaming experience on my BEASTLY 400mhz, 128mb ram pc. Bought that pc when 400mhz just came out, thought I was so badass LOL

  • They said that the world will never be the same after Unreal is released.

    They were right.

  • bought this game when it first came out and I still play it occasionally :)

  • <33333333333333333333333333333­333333333333333333333333333333­3333

  • not only music but all sounds are perfect

  • Unreal tournaent games suck, only unreal is good :D

  • this game is still installed on my old computer :)

  • is there a place that i can download this? i miss playing this game ad my cds got destroyed T-T

  • @ICEFROST777 thepiratebay

  • dunque è questo l'inizio della saga?

  • the game that changed everything

  • they should make a remake from this unreal game....the same levels, gameplay,... but a with graphics and textures from unreal tournament III

  • oh man the music, THE MUSIC!!!!!

  • Prisoner 327 escaping! I sooooo remember this after all these years!

  • Good ol day's,then "unreal was reality",i grew up in that period of time...and know..i hate games of our days.

  • Just got in steam, AWESOME GAME!!!!!!!!!

  • What happened to gaming industry. I mean, back then it was all about climax and atmosphere. The plot, the complexity of the levels. Yeah. They were THE levels. The funniest thing is that Unreal 1 is a masterpiece both in terms of graphics and the gameplay:)

  • remember playing this online in deathmatches from about 7 lol! searching the internet for a dl.

  • I have this ORIGINAL MINT + Hercules 3D 8mb AGP + 3DFX VOODOO2

    After doom2, this was my first true 3D fps with new pc... amdk6 300mhz + above

  • I absolutely love this game. It saddens me how the series moved away from the original plot so much.

  • At these days you could really see the graphic improvement in the games :) From Quake1, Blood, Duke Nukem 3d, Redneck Rampage etc Unreal was a amazing jump in creating big 3d environments. Quake2 had slightly better models but hes engine couldn't handle bigger maps. These days Unreal was most climatic 3d shooter because after finishing labyrinth like dungeon map you often came up into big opened world with pretty environment and awesome soundtrack :) Never seen that in older titles. Epic Game!

  • @mandigal After playing Wolfenstein 3D for hours on end. DOOM really looks like an improvement. Then after playing that game hours on end. Blood, Duke Nukem 3D, and Redneck Rampage look like a huge improvement. Then you see Unreal, THAT GAME LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. Then you see Half-Life... and you are like O_O.

  • @Masterlink981 Half-Life had nice gameplay, but technically (detail mapping, portal technology, color columetric fog - even with software rendering, etc) and IMHO aestatically (overall graphical design) Unreal was better.

  • @LucidEnsemble True... but nothing could beat Half-Life's story.

  • @Masterlink981 Yes, Unreal story pretty simple. Several first levels create an impression of interesting and complex storyline, but then story development almost stops.

    But I like that atmosphere of loniless, and also deeply appreciate the fact that you are alone, nobody tells you there to go, what to do, and nobody goes and shoot with you, like in most modern shooters. U2 lost this feature.

  • @Masterlink981 Also I hate real weapon in shooters. If I'd want real weapon, other people's commands and other people fighting alongside with me, I'd go to army.

  • @LucidEnsemble But in Half-Life there was the Tau Cannon.... and Gauss Cannon...

  • @Masterlink981 I meant not Half-Life, but overall tendency in first-person shooters.

  • @LucidEnsemble Yeah, your right...

  • 1:43 yea... that is, if you had a pc strong enought!

  • You mean it is THE first FULLY 3D game...with really good water graphics.

  • 0:47 is deck 16

  • look closly the trailer is cheating!!!! hes useing god mode......

  • best game ever made

  • Oh my fucking god..

    The atmosphere of this

    game was/is killer-shit..

    Who played-know's.

  • people who have this game what is your game name mine is snake used to be *SK*SNAKE until they kicked ME.!@!

  • Unreal multiplayer is still alive!!!!

    Unreal is much better than Quake!!!!

    Quake 3 is using unreal taunts! >(

  • The music in this game is so frikkin' sweet.

  • This game is timeless, I still own a copy, and it still looks good and is fun to play to this day.

  • I remember, back in the day, this game came out and it was, to me, as if it was 10 years ahead of the others in terms of graphics. It was so stunning that those guys who were working on Duke Nukem Forever decided to redo their game using the Unreal engine. The first two levels were simply brilliant and movie-like. The universe was so different from what had been made before... It was indeed Unreal. Everybody remembers the first Skaarj attack in the corridor after the lights were shut, right?

  • @MyHeadAsplodes what was seen cannot be unseen or forgotten :DDD

  • YAY I HAVE THE ORIGINAL CD GAME AND IS AWESOME !!! BUT I CAN´T PLAY ON THE MULTIPLAYER, I THINK I LIVE TOO FAR AWRY FROM A SERVER HAAH WELL I LIVE IN MEXICO HAHA SO IS TOO FAR

  • the game looked its best by far when rendered in 3DFX glide. the other video cards of the time didn't stand a chance. i remember being the only one of 20 people at a lan party playing this with such a card. :) that next week everyone else went out and bought one as well.

  • This was was the crysis of the quake 2 era

  • Hyper-realistic... XD I mean, there's also exaggerating. Even for that time.

  • I'm running XP and it freezes when i try to change controls

  • This Game Scared Me When I Was Little ;)

  • best game of my life

  • This is the reason because I didn´t buy a PS1. I had a 3dfx videocard.

  • Automag is cool because It is like the UT99 enforcer, or the enforcer is like the automag. I hate the editor because its so hard to use.

  • "RIP Quake 2" LOL

  • unreal engine kicks ass

  • wow look at those graphics!

  • I just installed this game on w7 from a megaupload copy - it works, but I wanted to play in coop mode and all it gives me (even tho it's called coop) is deathmatch. Can't understand the problem and there's nowhere to get help anymore.

  • Does anyone ever play unreal 1998 on the internet anymore

  • The best game in videogame history together with Deus Ex and Morrowind.

  • looks like ut with ut2004 gamemode invasion, but this is earlier.

  • I have never played this unreal, i just played the Unreal Tournament, now i watch this video and i want to play this one too :(

  • how did they run this on a 90s PC?

    like the original dark games looked wose and came out later

  • Does anybody know what the track/artist that plays in the background of the trailer?

  • Is there any way of getting this game to work on Vista/W7?

  • @youngdones yes. normally compatiblity mode works. instal it in win95 and run everything in win95.

  • @synaesthetics what was the original patch? 225, 226, 227? or does it go even lower

  • @synaesthetics or download it from gog.com if that doesn't work ;)

  • @youngdones well i have the original game for windows 95 but i got it to work on my windows 7 just yesterday all i did was install it like normal and ran the game but i dont know alot bout shit so i was just wanting to tell you my perspective

  • @youngdones yes, i dont know any special way, but i had this game on a disc since it came out, and just a few weeks ago, i found it, popped it in and it installed just like any other game would, but i dont think anyone is playin multiplayer anymore

  • @youngdones maybe dosbox-72 .

  • @youngdones maybe dosbox-72 .or windows xp

  • @youngdones try buying it on steam

  • @youngdones I just installed it on win7 with the cd booted up and it worked (x64)

  • lol lmfao rip quake 2 hahah! Best quote ever!

  • @youngdones Or u can buy a new copie from certain websites with support for windows XP, Vista and 7

  • @youngdones

    Install latest patch 227f

  • @youngdones

    Install latest patch 227f

    

  • @youngdones Unreal Gold works on Win7 also,no need compatibility. If you have Unreal Anthology like me,you have no problem with it.

  • @youngdones it works on my WIn7 64 bit without compatibility mode!

  • @youngdones yes idiot

  • I really loved this game back then in 1998

  • Is this supposedly like... the first first-person shooter game where the enemies actually dodge your ammo? Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • @wattamack4 No. The first must have been "Rise of the Triad". A game by Apogee and designed by another genius game designer - Tom Hall...

    The Music was good too... :)

    But then, Unreal was the first 3D game (followed by Half Life) that swept me off my feet.

  • I played Quake III Arena, and even though I don't have OldUnreal (yet) it kicks more ass than Quake. This game was the HALO of it's time.

  • ''R.I.P. Quake 2''

    hahaha agree

  • lol

  • I still map, skin, mod, and mesh for Unreal 1.. you guys should return, it is indeed still populated.

  • i used to love this game and quake back in the old days they were the best fps shooters out that time

  • im 13 now but when i was 5 and stuff me and my dad played all of them great old fun game

  • Funniest shit ever happened yesterday... so I watched this video and commented on it the other day, just for the heck of it to remind myself how cool it was playing it back then when I was younger... then, yesterday I walk into a Gamestop to check out some games, and what do I see in the corner of my eye ? Unreal Anthology which includes Unreal, Unreal 2, UT, and UT 04 for only a buck and 99 cents... I bought it right away :) now that is Unreal !

  • @mindtrix00 hell yeah^^ well i bought it from a gameshop from austria over the internet for 9.99 € ast year, and i must say the price was a steal for those great games in one package^^ (Btw the german version is censored, there is no UT 99 in the anthology...)

  • @mindtrix00 Only if it included Unreal : Return To Na Pali too...

  • @dapapeyu1 It's Unreal Gold that's in the anthology, so it does have Return to Na Pali—pretty awesome bundle!

  • @mindtrix00

    An UNREAL deal, dude! You're so damn lucky...

  • @Gunner193 you guys' usage of the game title in your comments is UNREAL

  • @rzcmch

    ROFLS, true that...

  • @mindtrix00

    That's because you were thinking about Unreal so your attention was drawn to it. Otherwise you would have been less likely to notice it.

  • @mindtrix00

    Sweet deal

    Unreal (Gold) is one of my favourite games, still to this day it has excellent gameplay - super intelligent AI, beautiful graphics, variety of guns, large levels and good physics.

  • I miss this game, haven't played it in ages. The original and Return to Napali expansion pack were the best. Loved everything about the game, especially the scenery and landscapes. A classic indeed. Nothing beats the classics, and if it wasn't for games like these, today's FPS games would not exist !

  • hey this is kinda like doom differnt monsters weapons enemys and there water instead of the toxic waste also differnt teleports

  • Hehe still remember when a schoolmate downloaded the game using a 56k modem... it took many days and I won't mention the phone bill whe had ;-) Fortunately I had a 3Dfx card so the game was running very smooth.

  • I still complain to the other original unreal games better than this, @MrRhysReviews i gotta say something, Unreal ii is complaining about Unreal Tournament 1999,

    Yo when i first saw this i played the map Ocean Floor and Rook. Those two maps were ok to play. And they use the same sky box as the first unreal.

  • this engine was the best till quake 3 came out

    the game itself is uninteresting to me, however (give me thumbs down fanboys)

  • I would very much like to see a decent follow up (Unreal II doesn't count), or a game set in the same universe as Unreal 1, rather than the Tournament installment we've been getting lately. EPIC needs to go back to the roots of Unreal 1.

  • i totally agree with you. unreal 2 isnt a good sequel.

    btw, i can recommend the high detail expansion packs from Old unreal, and combine it with a few single player mods found online. that will add a couple of hours of new gameplay ;)

  • @synaesthetics thnx for the tips! I still play Unreal from time to time, and it's great to see the support it's still getting from the community.

  • @synaesthetics I would settle for an Unreal Gold Remake using Unreal Engine 3 for the PC, 360 and PS3 with more story maybe and put out a minimum of, say, 3 DLC (Return to Na Pali is included in Gold, so 3 NEW ones) that last a couple of hours each, Epic would have my full respect. MAKE IT HAPPEN GUYS.

  • i totally agree, but i am really afraid that epic isnt going to make a sequel/remake of unreal.. they will for tournament, but not for unreal the orginal story..

    and yes, i am willing to pay for a nice next gen unreal game! to bad i cant lvl design on my own :( i thought about it, but i dont know how to start and where to start..

  • @synaesthetics I mite try if i can find the rite tools for modding, i can make some pretty hecktic things with the G.E.C.K for Fallout 3. :)

  • @synaesthetics

    Unreal 2 was good but not as good as the original. I found it boring at first but as game progressed it became quite interesting. The end was something I really didn`t expect and I kinda liked it. Too bad there was no story connection to the original except for enemies as some were the same. A new original-like-unreal would definitely rock.

  • true, unreal 2 wa not a sequel, more a stand alone, which happends to be with a skaarj setting. unreal was good for the nice views, funny weapons, funny enemies.. as a game it was ok. but unreal 1 set the standard very high. and unreal2 cannot compete with it.

    i found it stupid btw, that they forgot to build a multiplayer in.. not even vs bots.  ( yes its downloable i know)

  • @synaesthetics

    Mhm, it was quite epic back then. I mostly admired the landscape and architecture never seen before in such large scale. Quake 2 couldn`t compete with its claustrophobic levels and linear design. A big impression was also the music to which I listen even today sometimes. Weapons were new to the eye but the feedback during shooting was very mild (compared to Q2). It felt like holding a slingshot instead of a gun - no shaking whatsoever.

  • @synaesthetics

    They didn't forget the multiplayer, but deliberately didn't make one as they wanted it to be a sister product of Unreal Tournament 2003/Unreal Championship 1. Unfortunatetly UT2k3 wasn't great and the singleplayer part of Unreal 2 was forgettable. It wasn't bad and it had some moments (Hell especially was a fun level), but it wasn't Unreal.

  • @TomozukiII indeed Unreal 2 had the fun parts. (Skaarj in lift, Hell, etc) and had some funny weapons too. (LOL turrets, spidergun, singularity gun) but overall single player was just not it, and multiplayer was a fail. it just doesnt had the Unreal spirit in it.

  • @TomozukiII

    Unreal is to scary for me :/

  • @krystian1333

    At the moments it was but not too scary. Most of the recent games have much more horror: Stalker, Penumbra, Condemned, Aliens vs. Predator etc.

  • Ahhhh. i still play this to this very day.

    UaS Server

    UaS & KSA Forever.

  • Best game ever, hands down. I cannot begin to voice the love I have for this game and all it has inspired.

  • This game would have been even better had there been some MAGIC items and weapons in it. The Nali are a magical race, after all.

  • Best game ever, I still play it till this day online, and its great i love this game!

  • What is your name on the servers? I still love this game very much too. I preferred co-op back in the day!

  • Coo-op as in single player style but with people online?????

  • yup. running all the levels from start to end, with friends :P  very funny, though irritating if they steal your kills and weapons :P

  • "R.I.P. Quake II., I'll miss you...

    Not."

  • Haha! best comment ever!: "R.I.P. Quake II"  lol

  • back when games meant something... memories.

  • My favorite game of all times!!! I spent every night playing it for a whole summer!

  • Easily my favorite fps game! The expansion really made it complete.

    ...Someone should really re-make this game.

  • with cry engine 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • rofl

  • Best FPS ever together with Half Life 1. Until today. Just my 2 cents.

  • I like unreal. I especially like the big variety of weapons, and the great graphics.

  • 'R.I.P. Quake II'

  • Best game engine Id Tech (Quake) and Unreal Engine, many game take at Id Teach such as HL, L4D, COD and etc..

  • My first FPS :) i love it XD

  • One of the best fps from 90s

  • PC gamers certainly owe a great debt to this game. It, along with the Quake series, were the true driving force behind FPS multiplayer games.
