The developers at Nightdive Studios have quickly become one of the greatest forces for game preservation by optimizing classic games for modern systems, giving them a fresh coat of paint, and updating them with modern quality-of-life features to be enjoyed by a new generation of players.
If you’d like to see what Nightdive has accomplished in bringing some of your favorite FPS classics into the modern era, check out the Nightdive FPS Remaster bundle at Humble. While this $19.99 bundle doesn’t include the more recent remasters of System Shock and Star Wars: Dark Forces, virtually every other FPS Nightdive has retouched is included (a $154 value).
Some of these remastered titles, like Powerslave, Forsaken, and Rise of the Triad, are a bit dated and difficult to revisit, even in their remastered states. But this bundle also includes gems like Blood, the Turok trilogy, and the excellent Doom 64. If you never got the opportunity to play these games in their heyday, Nightdive’s remastered versions are arguably the best way to experience them.
As with any other Humble Bundle, a portion of each sale benefits a specific charity, in this case, Active Minds, a nonprofit focused on promoting mental health awareness and education in young adults. Just note you can always change how much of your purchase goes to the developers or to Humble directly by using the “Adjust Donation” tab before you check out.
