MDK

This game is one of my all time favorites. It was an early showcase for 3D accelrated graphics, and was just about the most perfect action game up to that point. I'm avoiding buying games from GOG that I've already played in the past, but this one is a huge temptation. It's just so much fun!

I was just out of my teens when this gem of a game arrived and to this day it is a classic shooter and very original.

This game for me will always be in my top 5 of PC games as when I started PC gaming in the mid to late 90's I played a lot of this game on Windows 95/98 and loved it, cant count the amount of times I would get stuck in to this game and forget everything, for the price this game is a true classic for PC gamers.

I never played first MDK when I was young, but I sure have played MDK2 which was an excellent game! This game is excellent and fun!! Although graphics are quite outdated it is impressive to see such a fast-passed action in those days. Snipping is excellent (although it would help if you could walk and move your scope left and right at the same time), and the atmosphere is crazy and something that you will not see everywhere. Yup, craziness is Shinny's trademark. Only real problem is that the game is too short... First 3 levels are quite easy and you will probably finish them in one seating. Fourth and five are quite challenging, which forces you to use your items more sparingly, to plan your movement and to stick with sniper as much as you can. Too bad, that as soon as you get a grip of control and style, you reach level 6 which is the arena fight after which the game ends. Someone definitely needs to remake this game with modern graphics, adopt controls from MDK2 (which perfected Kurt's movement), add more levels and more narrative between them. I would definitely pay for such game.

MDK is the best example of "short but sweet;" it might only take you two or three hours to finish, but it's awesome all the way through. The levels are varied with tons of collectibles and secrets to keep replayability high, the enemies are fun to fight, and the controls are super tight, making the platforming fun. This is one of those must-have games, along with the sequel. https://youtu.be/MVAtAtOXJU8
