And to cap this pointless post off, does anybody have some nice recommendations on forgotten gems? Started to collect FPS games the last year and feel the need to add something to the collection.
Not all forgotten gems but here are some FPS that are not your list:
Blood, check out http://blood.nanoaugur.net/
Speaking of Blood, the whole package is € 1.6 (70% OFF) on GOG today.

This car is insane. Love the way the jet engine sucks in peds.

The AI is unable to drive it so I didn't bother ever trying it out, but goddamn it's fast, very detailed too.

That's some good stuff, bro.
STRIFE, make sure to disable all the popamole features if you end up getting the recent re-release.
Good suggestion. Sort of proto- Deus Ex running on Doom engine.
Arguably the best Build engine game. DN3D and Shadow Warrior are good too (DN3D less so) but Blood is the best.
Powerslave (aka Exhumed)
Only played the demo.
Chasm: The Rift, this "Quake clone" uses an interesting engine, it's not a great game though
Still p. good. Nice visuals and good mechanically. Shame about the length and levels being essentially 2D with virtually no z-axis, not even to the extent of Doom engine games.
HλLF-LIFE
Yes! A bit linear, but very strong gunplay, cool aliens and strong overall mechanics. :salute:
Another legend. Blew everything else out of the water with technical aspects, atmosphere and AI.
Unreal Tournament
Also yes, at least as long as you want some MP or botmatch. Or modding platform.
Then there are tons of great custom maps for Doom and Quake.
There are tons of awesome camapigns for Unreal too. Some running in vanilla, some requiring UT.

Anyway some of my own recommendations:

System Shock 1 & 2.
Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri (although it's more of an outdoor power armor simulator, than typical FPS).

From a bit more modern games, STALKER SoC and CoP.

Eradicator
A decent one too. About DN3D age, suffers a bit from some of the traits Quake 2 has - bland and monotonous environments, and enemies without much personality. Still it has a lot of diverse weaponry and some cool and innovative features to make up for that.
Oh, watching intro will make you cry brain cells - it's so beyond B-movie cheesy.

System Shock 2 I got and played back in the day, the first one is really expensive to get :negative: Unreal is actually great to coop, so that is recommended even if one has played it in single player. Stalker series I got and have played, nice games that actually feels modern compared to the other games on this list but in a good way. Eradicator I actually played as a kid, but I just might pick it up cheap on the current indie bundle. I remember liking the Terra Nova demo way back, will look into if it is worth getting so thanks for that one. Just picked up some new games to add (it is getting harder and harder to find good games so now we are getting into the OKish territory for some of these games):
007: Nightfire (GoldSrc engine)
Die Hard Nakatomi Plaza (Lithtech engine)
Rune (not shooter but still Unreal Engine 1 and has that nice fluid gameplay that actually feels like a game)
Iron Storm
Vietcong
Project Snowblind
Codename: Outbreak (pre-Stalker series)
Singularity (Raven software still got it apparently, nice to know)
Dead man's hand (seems decent enough)

It is free, and with improved controls and true mouse-look.

Thank you, will download that one to keep on my hard drive (might already have it somewhere actually), but I am kind of retarded and want to own a physical copy of the games I play nowadays, probably a backlash from my youth when an obscene amount of pirating took place. I actually still download the games so that I am able to keep the games I buy wrapped in the plastic since it breaks my heart to open them up, but at least that is justifiable (although stupid).

Please make the jungle safe again by eradicating the indigenous wildlife. Saps are the same no matter what world or genre.

The battle is swift and furious. No time to record footage as his minions put on relentless pressure. The battle does not last long thanks to my recently acquired Japanese steel. I like to capture rather than kill (better rewards), but even when on the verge of death, raptor-kin show no signs of weakness (i.e. trapability). They maintain their composure until death. A hard-edged lot of survivors, they.

What it's all about, folks. Don't know if I'll craft the Velociprey armor set though. You have to pick your grinding battles in this game. Only the truly no-life dedicated will craft all the equipment.
