And Gentlemen, to add the the flavours of game development, what would a game be without WEEAAPONS! lol! I think DUKE is the funniest. :-))
Top 10 game weapons :
- BFG 9000 (Doom) : The Big Fragging Gun, as it's known before the 9pm watershed, is an icon of gaming weaponry. This beast of a gun fires balls of green plasma that are capable of destroying any demon in a single hit. It is, quite simply, the business. A direct hit causes between 100-800 hit points of damage. Further damage is caused by 40 invisible rays of death, which are emitted by the player in the direction of fire. Without this gun it's doubtful some of the video game weapons in our top ten list would even exist. BFG 9000, we salute you.
- Shrink Ray (Duke Nukem 3D) : We were sad to hear of the recent demise of the Duke. His latest outing, Duke Nukem Forever, was canned last year after more than a decade in development hell. During his reign the Duke introduced us to a brilliant selection of weapons. The Shrink Ray (or Shrinker) is one of the most memorable. This alien gun does exactly what it says on the tin, reducing Pig Cops and other foes to a couple of inches in height. As they run around like angry mutant mice, the Duke then raises his boot and stomps them flat. As he would say, "Hail to the King, baby."
- Rocket Launcher (Quake) : The Rocket Launcher is the defining weapon of the first Quake game. As well as its sheer power - it could kill an enemy within several feet of the initial blast - the Rocket Launcher introduced the world to rocket jumping. The weapon quickly became a favourite in online deathmatches, with players leaping around the map while dispatching deadly rockets. The rate of fire was blisteringly fast. Directly hit players flew into the air and were often blasted again before they touched the ground. Brutally efficient.
