3D Doom-clones

[J T]

Y'know, I bought DEus Ex for a fiver from PC world 3 or more years ago and never got past the first level. For some reason I just didn't get into it.

A few months ago I tried it on this PC and it was mega-screwy. Would go really slowly and then speed up like crazy when I moved the mouse around (on the intro and cutscenes too).

I hear so many people rave about it..... maybe one day I will get it running and give it a proper go.

There is a patch for the original Deus Ex to make it run better on XP. It used to be on the official site.

There is also the sequal, Deus Ex 2, which while not as good as the original is still a good game in its own right and worth playing. You should be able to find that cheap these days too.

I looked for a patch but for some reason it didn't work. I had the GOTY version, but re-released on a "Sold Out" budget label and it wouldn't patch (pretty sure I had the right one).
