I'm quite a fan of ID Software's FPS games and I'd like to show you my collection.

You can see I've got 2 copies of Quake 4. Why? Well, here's the story- first I bought the regular edition (top right corner) which is German edition and it's heavily censored. For example it completely skips the stroggification cutscene, which might be a little bit confusing. I'd understand if they'd cut the most disturbing parts of it, but they shouldn't rip the whole thing, since it explains why the heck you look like Strogg in the next level! That's why I bought an english one, this time it's the special edition, which also contains full version of Quake 2 with both expansion packs, plus artworks from the game. This version is damn cool.

I'm very proud of being owner of game 'that started it all' the granddaddy of FPS games, the one, the only, wolfenstein 3D. I replaced the Xplosiv edition cover with cover from some big box edition.

Where Wolf 3D has set up the formula, Doom has perfected it and became the most famous FPS of all times. According to the strategy guide I've got, in Czech republic Doom has spread out much faster than the newest version of Windows, and all because one simple word- multiplayer. Now that is truly amazing! I've got my hands on so called Collector's edition, but it should've been called Doom anthology rather than that. My point is that special/collector's edition always contains aditional content like artbook, soundtrack, action figures, etc. Well... to my knowledge some copies of this Collector's edition contained a sneak-peak video from Doom 3, which was back then still in development. Why this one doesn't have it (it's no even mentioned anywhere on the cover) is anyone's guess.

Doom 3 is basically a remake of Doom and features one of the best grapics of its time. ID tech 4, aka Doom 3 engine was around for 5 years, that's quite impressive. My complaint- the final boss, the cyberdemon is an insult to it's Doom 1 and 2 counterpart.

And now comes Quake 2- one of my all time favorites. The gameplay is still good, the controls are smooth and the soundtrack is candy for your ears. On the other hand, the AI has truly aged a lot- the enemies are plain stupid. As you can see, it's the only big box ID game I've got, also I keep Quake 1 in the same box. Oh, I should've mentioned that Quake 1 was the first FPS that was truly in 3D.

Return to castle Wolfenstein is good, but hard game (except for the bosses, they are absolute joke). And Wolfenstein, damn, why couldn't they name it RTCW 2? It's confusing because it looks like it's supposed to be a remake of WOLF3D, but it's actually a sequel to RTCW. It's also very good, but it has become really distant from the original concept of Wolfenstein. It's like if you took RTCW and Prey and put them into blender. It doesn't feel like Wolfenstein anymore.

Last but not least- Enemy territory: Quake Wars Special edition. I bought this one only because I was curious, I don't really like multiplayer games.
