John Romero's Daikatana game

Alright, let’s talk about John Romero’s Daikatana on the N64. It’s a first-person shooter where you jump through time—ancient Greece, dark ages, cyberpunk future—trying to stop some world-ending nonsense. The big gimmick? You’ve got two AI buddies tagging along, which sounds cool until they get stuck on geometry or walk into your line of fire. (Yeah, they’re… not the brightest.)

The weapons are wild, though—everything from swords to futuristic plasma guns, and the levels are these sprawling, weirdly detailed mazes. Some bits feel rushed, but there’s charm in the jank. Just don’t expect it to play like a modern shooter—this is pure late-’90s FPS chaos, for better or worse.

If you’re into retro shooters with personality (and patience for some clunky moments), it’s a trip worth taking.
