My mom had a coworker who was much into the PC modding/gaming scene and an early adopter of pretty much anything technology. Every week he would give me "samples" of the newest games, if you know what I mean. He also wrote me extensive long e-mails that helped me understand how to build my first PC. In 1999, I finally saved up enough to take the plunge along the help of my parents and was successful, the first boot up was a great feeling. He opened my eyes to so many different games back in this era. Half-Life, Quake, Unreal, System Shock, Motocross Madness, Midtown Madness, Need For Speed, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Thief, Warcraft, Deus Ex and many more. Terry Cochran, you are never to be forgotten!

I could talk all day and night about how special this game is to me. I was born in '95 and my dad had me on PC's very early on so by the time this game was out I was playing daily.
Nostalgia aside, there's still something about this game that can never be replicated. The soundtrack, the sound design, the environment, the setting, the color palette, the entire aesthetic and feeling the game evokes with it's imagery is just incomparable to anything else. There is this level of wonder and awe to it's design but also a familiarity, like, your in this ancient mountain fortress surrounded by forests and valley's, or a space station floating above earth, a half built skyscraper in the middle of a city. It gives you the impression of this massive world with centuries of stories on an intergalactic scale that lived on with or without you. Whatever inspired the creation of UT99 is something that could only happen once, and that perfect combination of artists and designers left us with a masterpiece of experience.

During 2005 (I think) I had a computer class during like grade 5 and 6, and the teachers, cool bastards that they were, would say:
"Oh you can play games on the pc, just finish the work faster and you'll be playing games in no time."
And so we did, just so we could have 15 minutes of playing the most random games they'd installed in the school pcs.
And THEN came lunch break. We had like 1 hour recess, and those same teachers would open the computer classroom and let kids play UT2004 for the whole time.
I know like next to nothing about the series, but hearing Foregone Destruction just sent me on a freaking trip.
I remember every damn kid rushing everywhere in hopes of finding the Redeemer and blasting the enemy team to bits.
I remember the snipers on top of the tower.
I remember people spamming the translocator.
Man what an awesome game. :)
