If you do not want to get rid of the full game I’m showing you how you can at least get rid of the intro movies that may look great when you start Unreal Tournament 3 for the first time but become a nuisance soon after. The following hack is actually one that you can use to disable intro movies for many games.
Weekend Fun Open Arena
The year is 1999. Two shooters are competing for the crown of the ultimate shooter. Their names: Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena. I have to admit that I fell in love with Unreal Tournament and did not play Quake III Arena that much which was still a good game but not that good, hehe.
The five most embarassing ways to die in an FPS
I had a good laugh when I read the article “The five most embarassing ways to die in an FPS” which describes five entertaining (for the others) and embarassing (for the one being killed) ways to die in first person shooters.
I have been playing pro level Unreal Tournament for about two years and it was always a pleasure to witness an embarassing death. Unreal Tournament however was not the only game that I was playing. I also enjoyed Quake 3 Arena, Counter Strike (Source) and many other PC shooters.
Game for the Weekend Alien Arena
Code Red Alien Arena reminds me a lot of the first Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena games that came out. I think I was addicted to Unreal Tournament in 1999 playing in a high skilled CTF clan for more than a year. It was tremendous fun and we were all pretty disappointed when the successor brought shiny graphics and shitty gameplay to the community. Alien Arena has nice enough graphics for a freeware game but the most important aspect is of course the gameplay. What can I say, it is fun.
Playing Unreal Tournament with a Power Glove
Ok this looks extremely cool and seems to work quite well. Zerosign have a movie of a guy who is using a powerglove instead of a mouse to play unreal tournament. The powerglove is, or better was, actually a hardware addon for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and failed miserably. If you are interested in the history of the powerglove check out the wikipedia entry.
