Realms of the Haunting

good old game had fun playing it .

This is basically what you get when you cross a 90s first person shooter with a 90s point-and-click adventure game. Major flaws include obtuse puzzles, terrible AI, a control scheme that requires at least four hands to use effectively, and at least one point where you can render the game unwinnable by accident. On the positive side, I really dig the use of 2D sprites in a 3D setting. I played all the way through and I enjoyed it for the most part, in a B movie sort of way, but even so I can't really call it a good game.

My favourite gane ever - one of the most atmospheric and scary games ever, great storytelling, lots of different "worlds" to explore and some great fmv cut scenes to add to the drama

If you want an early FPS that doesn't seem like a doom or quake clone, you could do much worse than Realms of the Haunting. A unique setting with a refreshing emphasis on story, character and atmosphere. You have a lot of "find X key for X door" puzzles, but it doesn't become un-fun. Where the game drops the ball somewhat are the maze-like levels, some of which are horribly dark and nigh-impossible to navigate. It was forgivable in doom and heretic when you had levels made entirely of the same few textures, not so much here. Still worth a look.

A Unique blend of early FMV & FPS with strong RPG elements. This was overshadowed by other releases at the time, otherwise it would have been a massive success. Still has an appeal due to the long strong storyline, FMV & mystery.
