Catacombs Pack

I'm not gonna pretend to care about the first two games in this collection, the Gauntlet clone and the prototype FPS game are nice extras, but the real meat and potatoes of this collection is the Catacombs fantasy trilogy comprised of the Shareware Episode: The Abyss and the two sequels, Armageddon and Apocalypse. Richly detailed, well animated graphics that show just how far 16-color EGA could be pushed. The sound design is spares, with either PC speaker or Adlib sound effects, and no music to speak of, save for a singular tune in the prototypical Catacomb 3D. The level design and gameplay are where the fantasy trilogy shine. Its fast-paced spell-slinging action, against hoards of zombies, bats, skeletons, sorcerers, demons, succubi and a host of other nasties. You'll explore worlds just as varied! Cemetaries, haunted forests, blazing hell-like infernos, underground water ways, dungeons and more. Each full of secrets waiting to be exposed. The gameplay is that same pick and play style you know and love from Doom, Wolfenstein, DN3D and other games of that era. Don't let the age of the visuals fool you. This is a solid collection.

I remember blazing through Catacombs Abyss on my old computer move than 16 years ago! It was the one game that my pc at the time could run! and coming from a yellow/black monochrome screen to EGA it really blew my balls off. Cracking game, full of thrills recommended for the nostalgia trip although new players may be hard pressed to get through the first few levels. five stars!

Wow, seriously? I had searched for these games and I thought I'd never see them again, then lo and behold here they are on GOG. I played these games so many times as a kid and they were a blast (they still are). Any FPS fan would like these old gems. Thanks GOG for bringing back yet another old classic set of games!

there's something thats so special about playing this game, its just fun. im not going to compare graphics and sound(because...well...) but the story and gameplay hits every area that matters, in my opinion. ive never played this game until i was an adult, and found it highly entertaining, the simple mechanics provide an quick learning curve, and before you know it, you're out slaying zombies, demons, trolls, ogres and all other types of mythical beings. and that's just the 3D games. if you buy the pack, you get the original catacomb game, a 2D scroller which was unbelivably addicting. buy this pack, if you enjoy D&D style games, And let the fun begin.

MORE Please!!! Very special game since the beginning of the Ego-Shooters with Id-Software Very cool. Thank you GOG!.
