Playing the Original Serious Sam TFE for the first time, and all I can say is this game is a fucking banger!
Compared to the remastered, this one is much better overall. Lighting don't hurt your eyes, the skies and graphics look prettier. And only after playing this, I realized the remastered version had some cut content in it. Defo go for this one, works still fine on modern pcs after 2 decades.

Probably the best Serious Sam game. Lots of big fights, trapped ammo/health pickups, and silliness. You need to quicksave often because the game isn't remotely fair. The first few levels are a bit slow and annoying because you don't have all the weapons yet.
Unless you're playing on tourist/easy, the gameplay isn't just dumb shooting. You have to prioritize enemies and switch weapons constantly, otherwise you will get overwhelmed. It is a unique type of gameplay.
Compared to the "Classics: Revolution" version: this one works better.
Compared to the HD version (or Fusion), this original version has a few gravity gimmick rooms that weren't ported over. It doesn't matter much.
Compared to The Second Encounter, this has fewer enemy types and weapons, and only one setting (Egypt), but more big difficult fights.
Compared to SS2, this is much less goofy.
Compared to SS3 and later, this has no NPCs talking in your ear, no running, ~no reloading, no aim-down-sights.

A very serious game about a very serious man on a very serious mission to save the world! On a more serious note, it's quite impressive considering how small the team who made it is. In some ways it does feel like Doom, however, the maps are ginormous. And something I really appreciate is that there weren't any invisible walls. If you can reach it you can generally go there, on the few occasions when the map is outdoors and open, there was a "sunburn" mechanic slowly ticking at your health to prevent wandering to far off, but all the other constraints were natural walls and hills. I actually managed to jump on top of a wall with rocket jumping in some levels and either use it to my advantage in overwhelming fights or explore out of bounds. And I'm pretty sure it's intentional, since in the final level they've integrated a gentle "force" that prevents you from jumping on top of a wall, hence they've know it's doable. Explorations was also fun and there were a handful of secrets that were more for giggles on the devs' side and add a more personal touch to the whole experience.

Great game but get the HD remaster it runs better and looks amazing.
