I am speaking about legendary shooters Serious Sam First Encounter and Second Encounter. These are two legendary games. Almost, same as Doom and Quake. Good shooters. But, unlike from ID games – they are more bright, sci fi and as vhs cassette action movie. They are playing very exciting way!

So, this is one more variation about this theme. Well, something like a new version for these games. With new title. New engine. And, something like, I say, this is a new variation. I have nothing against. I like a lot first two games! So, also, this new variation, I, also, like! First Encounter is renamed into First Blood. And, that’s for sure, there are two these episodes here. First and Second Encounter. Plus something more. You can select from menu. This is new engine. I feel it.

But, all the game process saved the same. It is playing as a same, or almost the same with some accuracy about new engine. There is something new and another. I guess, it goes faster. Moves. I remember a hall where you can slide. Miracle-programmers made, also, this little room with slide. Physics of ice! Like on ice! This is exciting moment! Candidate for the victory in a stage shooter of the year!

Mainly, everything is looks the same. And, I, with a pleasure running again all those places. Fast, even for me, I do all these. Well, not everything, I complete. With one attempt - heap of levels. With a mode tourist. This is such a game mode, where you can simply relax. For weekend - this is most best solution. It is such a fun to play, as I can to say!

Mainly, game is same. It looks as a same game. Textures, graphics – everything is saved. With style of same Sam. Levels are same. Or almost same, I don’t know. Maybe, it has some difference. Maybe, this is only seems. It is, something like, one more excellent version of Sam.

And so, Sam becomes more, how to say it, more cool. More sci fi. Egyptian. Mystical. Action. And aliens. So, it is something about aliens in a storyline. And levels are great. Egypt at the start. This is most top. Mystic. Dark corridors. With style of excellent action movie about sci fi and mystical. Star Gate SG1, for example. Excellent levels. It looks everything so beautiful.  

And places, where it is required – it is dark and mystic. Someplace – it is simply Egypt, such an ancient world. It is full of mutants and aliens. Mountain reptiloid even is here! With references to the mystery and connection with the stars. So, someway, it is space. Not only ancient world. And space. I can feel connection with the space. There are dark labyrinths. Mystical ways. Some different statues of pharaohs. Darkness, as a fog. Everything is, so, dark-blue.

And, next, it goes a light day in the desert. And, architecture of Egypt. And, also, a level with red sand and rare trees. As Mars. Blue such huge robots. Red, also, even bigger size robots. Green reptiloids, which are throwing at you a green stone, clot. As a rule, they are stand at some height. At the tower.

It is excellent weapons in game. Shotgun, double-barreled shotgun. Laser such a thing, like a blaster from Star Wars. Double-barrel shotgun seems, also, has a good decoration. I play this version for the first time. So, I, simply, play it with my weekend. I do not try to search difference. And, they exist, I think so.

Sam – it is science fiction and VHS cassette. And, it is so nice, that there are lots of different versions. So, it is even strange, that game lost after this for some time. So, later, it was silence. And little game - it is great shooter. It is not overloaded and it is very interesting. It is, something like, vhs cassette. Sam – it is such a superhero of action movies. Exactly, like a last action hero. He is saving the world. He is sent back in time. In ancient world. Aliens, already, were there. And need to search for keys – such artifacts. Figurines. To do something. I am searching for those keys. Aliens attack planet Earth. And, last chance – it is to send someone into the past. Single person. To collect the keys and to do something. So, these are the things, that are going on here! Well, indeed classics!

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.
