Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold

This game was an major leap from wolfenstine 3d adding automap. it also includer features id would not get to untill the quake series adding the ability to jump between levels and npc's witch could be interrogated for ammo and credits that can later raise your health. but doom came out adding more flexibility in level construction then was possiable with the wolf 3d engine.

So, playing the game is fantastic... Till you die. Then (on my 1-year-old quad-core i7 machine) it takes FIFTY SECONDS for the screen to go completely red as you die. (The going red is normal... the amount of time, I imagine, is absolutely not.) It makes it nearly unplayable on a challenging difficulty, and something really needs to be done to fix this.

This is a classic for any gamer that loved shareware and such. Apogee always had awesome games. But it could have been so much more popular, and would have sold a lot more copies, if it weren't for the release of Doom one week after Blake Stone. A game that is worthy of play and remembrance decades or even generations after its release.

It's an old game, and it's not Doom. Not even the same platform. To realy enjoy it I think you had to have played it when it first came out 20 years ago. Having all this in mind It's a good and fun game. Real retro de boot. I feel 20 years younger when I play it now. So get it, become die hard retro and loads of fun :)

Lots of fun is how I'd describe this game. oddly every time I go back to play it the files either got corrupted or I got tired of the level design. After an hour or so or a few as a younger man the so so maps got old.. And very annoyingly certain files get corrupted in "All" Apogee classics that make them stop working. This title is the most problematic the problem stems from an old anti piracy system "they would have called it theft" back then :) or unauthorized distribution. I hope gog has found a way to eliminate the fileid.diz glitch..
