After the release of the remakes, both titles had 'Classic' added to the name to prevent confusion. The games are on separate CDs (in the UK version) and are identical to their individual releases, except that the Sam character model for The First Encounter was modified to match the one used in The Second Encounter.
The series follows the adventures of protagonist Sam 'Serious' Stone and his fight against the forces of the notorious extraterrestrial overlord Mental who seeks to destroy humanity.Ī fan-made level-pack, Dark Island, was included in Serious Sam: Gold. High-definition remakes of both episodes were released in 20 on Microsoft Windows, and were later ported to the Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One video game consoles. Both episodes were combined into one game and ported to the Xbox. It is the second episode following Serious Sam: The First Encounter released a year prior.
First released on Microsoft Windows on 5 February 2002. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter is a first-person shooter video game developed by Croteam and originally published by Gathering of Developers.
