Developers, possibly coked out of their minds, often toss drug references into their video games. Subtle ones pop up every once in a while (powerup mushrooms come to mind) but then there are blatant cases where gamers actually see characters smoking crack. No matter the situation, drugs ruin lives. Well, except penicillin, which cures people's burning sensations.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
but some classic mushroom action with mario is the best
Not on there, but Spider-Man is in love with Mary Jane. Hmmm...?
According to Fox News "JACK THOMSON demand Nintendo to stop the use of mushroom in Mario games or he will take legal actions."
Nice article but they forgot Willy and the No Gang (Review by Angry Nintendo Nerd), in that game every one wanted to give drugs to main character! Also, where is Postal (1&2)?
PacMan acid trip? Hell yeah!
