Hello Wondering Traveler! Okay, I know what you're going to say, "But this guy was a rip off of Duke Nukem!" I can tell you this guy came 2 years before him and he was my idol as a kid.
Now, before I go on with my statement, here's his story: in times of raiding tombs and killing demons, there was more to unravel in the depths of Egypt, and there was a lot to uncover. When some archaeologists found something bizarre. A beacon that summoned aliens known as the Mentals. They hired Serious Sam to save the day.
Since you know his story, the game was a great hit on my life. The game had some awesome strategies and physics, memorable enemies, and weapons you couldn't wait to try out! The game was the greatest of Arcade Quake. I know a lot of you guys out there are long time fans of Quake Arena, so I know you played the Arcade Arena in Serious Sam!
The game had a silly and ambitious story, cocky character design, and unreal logic, but that's what made the game so enjoyable! What sucks is that the game was looked over for some time. The game rocketed into fame in it's first entry, but everyone got another game after the second entry. I don't know what it was, but I think it was Nukem that blew him out of the water.
I heard they made a sequel back in 2009, but it was an underground release, meaning barely anyone knew of existence! And it was fun as hell. I know it was taken off the market after the first few day of release, but it was put back in the market 3 years after in the HD collection... That also came with... This...
A side scrolling shooter that DID NOT live to it's name. And what does Double D mean? Did a child think of that name or wear the Devs fans of Ed, Edd and Eddy?
All I can say is that the game could have had a different name that Serious Sam. Well, I played some of the company's games and saw that Shadow Warrior had a reboot not too long ago! I played it and it looked like 3D Realms was going to do the same to the rest of the games they made in the past!
Although it's almost unlikely, I still want to see Sam redeem his name in the history books that our children will read in the gaming future! Well, on a serious note, since Shadow Warrior is getting a sequel soon, I believe that they might do that. And the game had so many things shouting Serious Sam!
Just please, 3D Realms! Have Sam be back for just one more time!
I hope you guys like this read and of course I'm not going to leave you without a meme to leave you laughing!
And as usual...
