Catacomb 3-D

Catacomb 3-D description

The first series of the famous series, once, from beginning to end created by the participants themselves id Software - the next three part personally their work are not and only rely on the developments of this.

So, the wizard, which we manage, a long and dreary walk through the underground catacombs, in order to face to the skull with our sworn enemy, the Nemesis. The concept is simple but effective. Along the way we will face any trash that we, the laws of the genre, will smear on the walls.

Engine from Hovertank 3D has been modified - borrowed in secret from the developers of Ultima Underworld, that allowed the use of texture on the walls; moreover, it was added to the different subjects, to expand player's options beyond the primitive running with the shooting of the only guns with infinite ammunition (here this role is played by the fireballs from hands), - scrolls with additional spells and of course healing potions.

In the same game for the first time appears the concept of "face of a hero", which id completely abolished only in DooM 3 - as injury face slowly turns into a crock. Similarly, here again there is a Large Red Demon from Hovertank 3D, which served as the prototype of the world famous Running of the Pink Demon from DooM.

Summary. Milestone. Because it divides the world into "before" and "after" is much stronger than its predecessor, and certainly stronger than her followers, because, honestly, the engine and the working principle of Wolfenstein 3D is based on this game heavily, part of him taking over without any changes.

Worth playing at least to get acquainted with one of the three great progenitors of the genre.
