Played through most of doom 1 today but it is different than I remember. When I was a child I played a version without music with constant creepy sounds that resembled chewing. On higher difficulty levels there were marines helping you I think. Any idea what I played?

Probably some random wad being sold as the actual game. :thirdworld:

Kinda how I played Diablo 1 too, the one I played had extra classes and some weird biological area that you could go instead of the church

Huh? That's Diablo: Hellfire, an "official"* addon released by Sierra, not a mod.



*In the sense that it wasn't first-party.

Wasn't it just the expansion?

EDIT: Goddamn ninjas

I don't think anyone sold it:D A friend of mine had it and we used to play it a lot together. I remember it a lot harder, but that might be due to me being young. It had the three episodes, though. I am not sure about aiming or being able to look up and down with the mouse, though. And I don't think I ever jumped and I have a vague memory of some levels looking as if not being able to jump was a gameplay mechanic-you had to lower some things and stuff. There was nothing like this in the version I played today. There were a lo of things that seemed familiar, though.

What I remember most is the sound-it was really creepy and for some reason if we turned the speakers off the game freezed after a few minuts, so I was forced to listen to it. The main manu was animated (some gameplay played, the guy opens a door full of enemies and start shooting them. Really hardcore).

Yeah. But nobody in the pirate CD stand told me it was some shitty modded game expansion FFS


:lol:

Once we found Colosseum Road to Freedom on a pirate stand, pretty cool because they usually don't have more obscure games available. The blank CD had some horrid, incomprehensible handwriting on it, but it was really cheap so we assumed the person burning these by the dozens couldn't be bothered with making it look nice, so we bought it and went home (in another town) to play it. Surprise, it doesn't work, apparently being a video file. A bit frustrated, we throw it into the DVD player, and are confronted with this.



edit: I also once bought Tales of Destiny 1 because the seller swore it was actually ToD 2, and that the "1" was just a badly scribbled "2". Pirate stands taught me to deal with merchants as if they were scorpions riding on my batrachian back.

Man I have good memories about old ripped games. My favorite memories were playing Blood and Quake without the official music and trying to find a substitute to listen while playing, for Quake it was best of Iron Maiden and for Blood best ballads from Scorpions. It was quite interesting to listen songs like White Dove while intestines fly all over the screen.

I bought Monkey Island 1 CD version on a used-CD store (a.k.a. SEBO), guy sold it for R$5 because he thought it was a broken audio CD. :P

I've never had any negative experiences with pirates, more customer-firendly and fair than dipshit publishers or stores.

My only experience of receiving ripped games was with the original zoo tycoon. My sleazy uncle had given it to me because of how much time as a kid I would play sim park and sim safari. Only problem with the game was that if you ever quit the game all your research progress was gone so I had to play a fucking time trial version of zoo tycoon running my animals to the brink of starvation because I couldn't research fast enough the weird fucking fruits that the monkeys I bought ate. I once got to pandas but that was a bad idea because they eventually broke out and went on a hunger crazed rampage and I had to shoot them.

Back in the days I had two choices for pirate merchandise, a nearby store that could only be reached after 4 turns into an alleyway and the infinite stands of a man only known as The Bearded One. The store was awesome: the CDs were of a high quality and looked just like the original - no wonder my PS1 and 2 still work rather well, while my friends' broke a few years into the gen - but, OTOH, Bearded One's games were, like, 2 reais, ten less than the store's.

It was all so sad when the store closed its lan-tournament side business and Beardy declined into movie DvDs and Xbox piracy. That was like the end of an era. My earliest gaming memory is buying a memory card to play Chrono Trigger on that store, but then it was clear I had to finally migrate into more :obviously: pastures.

What use would a broken audio CD be for any price?

Really, some SEBOS will buy anything. I've seen some pretty worthless stuff (think half-burned half-pissed old book) for sale on the Land of Drizzle.
