					<description>Now that you mention it, I remember Blood.  More specifically, I remember playing the demo of it on a PC Gamer CD.  Never did find a copy of it, though.  

At least, not yet.</description>

					<description>Eric, you missed the best Build game of all -- Blood!  It's probably tied with Castlevania: SOTN as my favorite game of all time.  I'm planning on doing a feature on it eventually.</description>

					<description>Dave

Aside from the whole copyright issue (I believe Interplay still holds the rights), RR was built on the same engine as Duke Nukem 3D -- the Build engine.  Build ran best under DOS and 95, could be persuaded to run without much trouble under 98, and causes headaches on anything newer.  It's not impossible to get these games to run under XP, but I believe getting them to run through a browser would be.  

If you're just talking about uploading the files so anybody who wants to can download them, Interplay might have somethings to say about that.  A couple of years ago, people started passing around copies of DN3D as abandonware, and Interplay went the whole cease-and-desist route.

I agree that they were cool games, but I think RNR and Shadow Warrior unfortunately suffered from 'me-too-ism' -- everybody loved DN3D, and Interplay introduced these others, they looked more like copies than unique games.</description>

					<description>Awesome.  Now that you mention it, Eric, it does sound familiar.  I wouldn't be surprised if I downloaded off a BBS and played it at least once back in the day.</description>

					<description>Why yes, yes I do.  

&quot;You have discovered an ancient civilization deep in the jungles of Madagascar.  Transported through time, you must explore the magical, mystical world of Xargon.

It's a game of intense arcade action and bold exploration.  You control the hero, Melvineous, on his exploration through a strange land populated by bizarre creatures.

Ten vividly illustrated levels of action for you to explore, packed with animated enemies, stunning music and digital sound effects.&quot;

So says the packaging, anyway.  Screenshots look like it was in the style of the old Commander Keen/Duke Nukem side-scrollers.

Oddly enough, I actually have a full version of Xargon 2.</description>
