Redneck Rampage Collection

When I start the game up it just shows it loading everything up on a dos prompt and then shows a black screen and if i touch any of the keys it goes back to windows. Please help because I love this game and I want to get back to playing it again.

What no-one in the reviews will tell you is that RR requires you to download 3rd party software to actually play successfully. GOG were lazy on this release. The default controls are not WASD to move, you must download 3rd party ware to change this. Others in the discussion page claim you can 'remap the keys' but none of them actually tell you how to do that...other than to direct you to an untrustworthy site and download 3rd party ware. There were no options for remapping keys in the menu, people on the discussion page claim there is...but it's not in my options, and they can't tell you why. There is nothing on the discussion page either to help you figure this out, you either know or you don't, there is no general instruction provided on how to play the game with custom controls.

Maybe if you played this game when it came out, it would be worth the nostalgia factor, but otherwise, it's just a bad, repetitive FPS...

If you don't know exactly what you're getting, watch some YouTube videos or something. Because this game is so incredibly sub-standard for a new player, it will blow your mind. The controls are keyboard only (the mouse is very rudimentary). The MUSIC BLARES so you can't even hear most of the game sound effects. And the game itself is IMPRESSIVELY BAD. I'm used to build engine games. I love me some build engine games. I've beat Duke 3D at least 8 times by now, Shadow Warrior, and even WW2 G.I. ... GI had problems with hitscan enemies. This "game" barely passes for a Unity game someone with no game dev experience built in a week. I started on the second-to-highest difficulty, and kept dying so often I ended up down to the bottom difficulty just so I could figure out what the hell was going on. The graphics remind me of a somehow worse controlling version of Might and Magic Mandate of Heaven. Everything is FLAT. Huge open areas with nothing in it. The Build engine was NEVER made for this kind of ugly, open terrain and it highlights every flaw the Build engine ever had. (That is, you play to your strengths when you use an engine and they did the exact opposite). Now, for nostalgia kids, there's nothing wrong with loving this game. But as someone who never played this game (but played TONS of 90's games and Build engine games), this is bottom-of-the-barrel. This is the kind of game quality you would expect from a cereal box. Except Chex Quest is actually playable.
