Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold

I played this and doom when i was a kid, looking forward to playing the whole thing in order for the fun! Apogee is always gonna be great.

It is a slice on 90s FPS pixel cake. It is difficult, but it is chock-full of single player content. It has a wonderful pulpy mid-century space patrol/danger dan feel.

I tried a few times but whenever I get to level "m1l2" I can't activate the elevator at the end of the level to get to level 3... I have watched youtube videos and followed walkthroughs, either this game is bugged or it does a terrible job of conveying what the hell it wants me to do. I have the red key card but it will refuse to let me go to the next level.

Solid old school shooter based on the Wolfenstein 3D engine but anything but the same. You have to actually not shoot some people because they can provide ammo and what not. The game has it's own unique mechanics like any shooter today based off the same engine would have so it only feels similar to Wolf3D. Either way if you like classic shooters this one is tough and will have you coming back for more, even when they laser blast a hole through your face.

While it is nearly 20 years behind current games in the graphic department, this game stills rocks. The levels are well done and there are many small details that enhance gameplay, like trying to figure out which technicians are informants and keeping them alive. You can just go running around trigger-happy or you can try to get a perfect score by finding all the secret rooms, collecting all the treasures and, off course, killing all the bad guys.
