I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they’d just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.
“Paintball”
Everyone is a ghost, no cloaking/energy, everyone dies in one hit, FFA / All vs All, fog of war on, forested map, last alive wins.
Maybe a proto MOBA, by today’s nomenclature?
People would argue that playing as green or a color close to green was an unfair advantage.
I also remember various… basically obstacle course maps, which were races to the finish, but… you had to understand various game glitches to be able to pass many of these obstacles.
