I miss those so much. Any modern games still playing with this concept? I remember Half Life had the bathroom, kitchen, and office, and I remember a backyard one in Quake 3 that was really cool.

    It Takes Two is a great co-op (no singleplayer) game where you play two parents who are going to a divorce when they are turned into two dolls and need to find their way to their daughter while getting across their yard and house.

    It’s really fun for couch co-op!

    Good old de_rats. I never saw something like that for other games, but brings up memories. I should install 1.6 again sometime…

    This reminded me of the bedroom level of Twisted Metal 4. Loved driving around that map. Felt like I was a hotwheels car.

      Came here to say Tinykin. Great game that nobody ever seems to talk about. Hard to recommend irl as well since the name makes it sound like a kid’s edutainment title or something.

    Did anyone else ever play Airfix Dogfighter? You got to fly model planes all through a house and break glass and stuff. Super fun times 😁

      I fell in love with this game for that theme. It really felt like a Japanese take on Toy Story.

    Ah yes, good old ttt_teenroom.

    Those maps make callouts very easy because pretty much everything has a name already, so you don’t need to argue about what’s what.

    I haven’t actually played it yet, but HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed has been in my Steam library for ages. That looks like it may scratch your itch …

    I really miss some “toy soliders” 3D shoot-em-up that I can just baaaaaaarely remember from the 1990s … does anybody remember the game I’m thinking about? (There was definitely a series, I distinctly recall the name ending in “2” …)

    HL2DM had some awesome rat maps. I need to backup my collection of source maps off my old hard drive.

    Haven’t seen this concept for a while. I remember playing shit out of Airfix Dogfighter, where you were basically controlling a plane model from WW2 and fighting around the house with other planes. Great game
