Well, what do you know, another retro release and another giveaway

This time we have PowerSlave (also known as Exhumed), which was made available digitally for the first time ever just a few days ago on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/powerslave

In my review for the Saturn version, I mentioned a digital release had been announced, but that it had (presumably) hit a few snags, so it's nice to see it's finally available. The version on GOG is the original DOS release and it's quite a bit different from the console versions, but it's still nice to see it released in ANY capacity. According to the press release, Nightdive Studios will be releasing an enhanced version of the game at some point in the future, though I haven't seen anymore details beyond that. Originally, I was under the impression that they were releasing PowerSlave EX, which was a port of the console version (PS1, specifically, if I remember correctly) to PC, so not sure that's still on the table or what.

Generally speaking, the DOS version seems to be considered the weakest of the bunch since it drops the whole Metroidvania approach, but hey, someone can have a free key and check it out!

To enter this giveaway, all you need to do is post your favorite '90s FPS in this thread.

I'll randomly select a winner from those that participate. You have until 11:59 PM EST on 11/28/20 to enter!

Gonna have to go with Unreal 1, really neat level design, great music amazing ai.

I'm tempted to roll with Doom, but I'm gonna give it to Quake II instead if only because of the soundtrack. Don't count this as an entry, I just wanted to participate in the discussion!

I'll have to go with Duke Nukem 3D myself. It wasn't strictly FPS, but Descent was another of my absolute favorites.

My favorite game by far is Blood. I played it when I was very very young, kind of forgot about it until a few years later when I rediscovered it on an abandonware site and since then it's been a game I replay at least once every couple of months.

Powerslave is up there too, both the DOS version and the console versions. I would absolutely love to own this on gog and I almost shed a tear when I saw it there when it came out. It's about time it finally got at least some recognition :P I had to borrow a copy from a friend for a bit, doing some testing and stuff on it.
And honestly while the gameplay is arguably much more unique and improved in the console versions, the dos version absolutely has the best level design. The levels are huge, and have so much creativity and interconnectivity with them. Also has some neat things that the console versions don't have, like a voiced protagonist and this super badass mummy staff. The mummy enemies can sometimes shoot a red blast at you that turns you into one briefly with a staff. When you slam it down, it kills all enemies in front of you, makes you do an evil laugh, and turns you back into a human. It's so cool and I always wondered why that was never in the console versions.

I'm going to make an in depth youtube video on this version specifically sometime next week (hopefully) for its anniversary, so it would be cool to have this. But if not, that's totally okay and I hope it goes to someone else that appreciates this little gem. \m/

@Drymonema is the winner! I'll send your key via Steam

Thank you moho!! So stoked to play it :)

Congrats, Drymonema! Hope you enjoy the game. It's really good.
If you find the strafing issue to be too big of a problem, wait for their update to come out on gog (hopefully soon) or play it with Powerslave GDX. If you need help setting that up let me know.

Thanks rdrexe! That's very kind of you, I'll definitely check out GDX :) I tend to pcgamingwiki any GOG games and patch them with whatever looks best to modernize

No problem at all! I actually just ended up making a huge review of the game today. :P

And gotcha, it does mention the dehacker patch on there but no GDX. There's another one based on "EDuke32" (Ion Fury engine) called PC Exhumed that you could also check out, but I think GDX is less buggy, more accurate, and overall better in the current state.
