That was Romero at his most free after all. And what do you have against serious sam series that you disqualify it from being "old school"? Did they have too many cutscenes for your liking?

I bought Serious Sam from Fry's and remembered it was pretty bad (I did play it all the way through in 1 day). The multiplayer was bad.

Halflife was still a step up, having been released years prior. The gameplay of HL had stagnated at that point so I was looking for anything else.
