mdk-sdl: MDK ported to C# and SDL. Will be checking that out. I remember the original wouldn't run on my Cyrix processor, so I had to buy another one. #retrogaming #dosgaming #gaming

MDK was wild. I love the weird designs of MDK, Sacrifice, Citizen Kabuto, Messiah and few other early 3D games that were not looking like Halo x Mass Effect kid which is a default mainstream art direction for sci-fi action releases.

Never played Messiah but I was fascinated with it. In case you did: did you manage to get far? From what I've read and seen, the controls were abysmal. I wouldn't mind playing a port with better controls. What I love about MDK (apart from the cool-as-hell style) is the feel & simple controls.

I've never played Messiah, but I have seen HyperTV (!) piece, read every print review, and I remember it from aggressive advertising in month-long in-game magazine campaigns. Very iconic look of the full-page ad I could draw right now without thinking much. A catholic style cherubim on a black page

Yeah, similar experience. I wanted to play it recently, but the reviews were really bad - great engine, terrible controls, boring story, bland gameplay. Might try it one day, especially if someone fixes the controls.
