Rites of War (1999) revisited

[Valkyrion]

I took advantage of the recent Steam reissue sale thing of the 1990's PC games and have just completed Rites of War for the first time since I was about 17, which means I'm now in my 40's.

Any memories or nostalgia thereof or therein? 

 

The Tyranid Lictor was invisible until you were next to it, and it was a melee destroyer. But if you didn't kill it, it would run off and be invisible, then come back at full strength, so you had to dedicate everything to kill it as soon as you see it!

Also, Gargoyles in the early levels nicking your home objective when you didn't know better and thereby immediately losing the game. 

[Emperor Ming]

The old games?

 

Final liberation and chaos gate for me from steam, very happy with those

 

Lots of cool memories of both, for the time, the live action cutscenes from final liberation weren't that bad with gws shoestring budgets

 

and loosing marines in chaos gate was always nail biting
