Ah, fond memories
Back in 1996 when I was 16 years old I had heard that there was a new 3d-shooter being published by the masters who made Doom a couple of years before. When I heard that Trent Reznor would compose the soundtrack and make the sound effects I knew I had to have it the day it was relased. 3D shooter with gothic themes + NIN soundtrack = my wet dreams coming true.
So I got it the day it was released and omg was it badass, certainly worthy of its mature rating back then. The game was so nightmarish, atmospheric and violent unlike anything I had seen before. Don't want to exaggerate but the music and sounds were perfect. I still have the original box + gaming cd here on the shelf.
It's clearly audible that the music is straight out of the Self-Destruct era, very dark and depressive.
One of the best, if not not *the* best gaming soundtrack ever. Look it up on youtube if you're not convinced.
