A piece of history
The Catacomb (actually the 2nd game from the series) is a 2D action game developed by John Carmack. You have four type of attacks for various situation. You have potion to heal yourself. The game is about collecting key or reaching the portal to proceed to next level. It's fairly simple, but you can see how brilliant John Carmack were even at such young age. Then Catacomb 3D. This is one of very first game that introduce player's hand which has become a genre on it's own; known as first person shooter / perspective. Like many other mentioned it's about reaching to the next level by collecting key and there are tons of secret to be discovered. You have infinity ammunition, just shoot everything on sight, fairly simple. The game was developed by the famous Carmack, Romero and Hall trio. The sequels Abyss, Armageddon and Apocalypse while not developed by the original trio, it's still a good game on it's own merit. Unlike Dangerous Dave, it's definitely worthy sequels, some might argue the sequels are even better than the original Catacomb 3D. The sequels still retain the core of the original, which is collecting key and advance from level to level on a maze-like shape. The difference here is more variety. You have variety of location and enemies. So to summarize it's good game, with almost no flaw for it's era except bit repetitive. Oh and minus one star for making my head dizzy. Like many old school FPS, you'll have quite hard time if you suffer from motion sickness.
