Shadow Warrior 2 Takes Me Back 1992 - Wolfenstein 3D, first 'almost' 3D game environment. 1993 - DOOM takes PC gamers by storm! 1996 - Quake takes multiplayer seriously as a main game mode in the 3D First Person Shooter (FPS) game. 1997 - The original Shadow Warrior comes out. I remember them all. Played them all. See I have been gaming since the, get this, IBM PC jr came along. For all the silly name, it wasn't a bad machine for the time. Back then all games were things like King's Quest, Need For Speed, and such. Later, as hardware permitted, flying games came along like ACES of Europe, ACES of the Pacific.

The top two in this group are the MG36 and the XM8. This comparison is very close, they are a virtual tie in damage and rate of fire. The MG36 has a small advantage in accuracy over the XM8. I suspect this is due to the built in red dot scope on the MG36. This image is available in my Google Pictures account at MG36 Versus XM8 LMG
