Works on Xubuntu 22.04 + Wine 7.0

I loved MDK and have tried unsuccessfully a few times over the years to get it working on newer machines. It's one of these games where it was stretching the 3d capabilities of late 90s home computers that were (probably) receiving their first 3d graphics cards as upgrades. There were several versions of the game made for the different 3d hardware families. My understanding is that nowadays we don't want MDK3dfx or MDK95, but must use the D3D version after running the Glide setup program included. The other versions have bizarre graphical bugs or move at literally 1fps. If we are using things like Heroic or PlayOnLinux, It can be a little tricky on Wine prefixes to run some other programs on them first to install dependencies - but this GOG release has everything needed. So far I have just played the tutorial stages and they are still amusing now.

Insanely fun and difficult

This game kicks ass: I can't think of any drawback, except the lack of save points during the six long, long, long levels... Anyway, it defined what a 3D shooter had to be.

Weird, highly playable and fairly short!

I came to this game fresh, buying the GOG release after reading a positive review in a 22 year old issue of PC Zone magazine by Charlie Brooker. The graphics are great, very surreal although I found myself wondering if there were missing textures - there are lots of flat polygons used with no texture mapping, I think its an artistic choice by the designers and once you get used to it, it works well as part of the game's unique character. The game's atmosphere is odd, the characters are odder, and the end reward for completing the game is some kind of French punk video. Conventional it ain't. The gameplay is fantastically easy to get into, ONCE you change the controls. My advice: use the mouse for turning - but disable the y-axis and use WASD for up down strafe left and right. Or some similar setup you're more used to for modern games. You have to use W,A for up and down and the cursor keys for left and right in the flying sections though, but that is easy enough. The game's plot I can't begin to explain, and it doesn't really matter. The game's structure is simple - move from area to area defeating the evil robots and with various other bits thrown in - platforming, snowboarding, sniping, simple puzzle solving of a sort. It keeps changing pace on you. The game is also quite short, finished in two evening sessions (on easy difficulty, admittedly), so this won't eat up a large amount of time. I certainly intend to play again though - it's great fun! Strongly recommended, particularly if you fancy something just a little bit different. Note: the default seems to be software mode, but there is a 3dfx mode - run the game with (or change the shortcut target to) MDK3DFX.exe in the game's installation directory. I had no problems on my Windows 10 machine running in this mode.

This game is worth the price

For a great challenge and good fun (who doesn't love a chaingun attached to their hand?) MDK delivers. It has excellent graphics for it's time period, and superb gameplay.

Great memories!

Love this game, the design, the art, the gameplay, the incredible movie-like soundtrack (amazing!). It's really a gem! Hope to see something similar in the future...
