Catacomb 3-D

a game were you shoot, how original

a step up from Super 3D Noah's Ark, a step down from Maze war (1973)

oh yeah- there ain't no guns! Its's were you do the incredible task of: Finding Keys, punching weird aliens, and absolutely nothing else.

You have to save "Grelminar" from "lich" what type of name is that? Is your best friend named after dish soap or something? Also,

for a game made in November 1991, and "Hover-tank" was made in April of 1991??? Are we Doing witch craft here? Also, now we can

discuss gameplay, Now a wide portion of "Catacomb 3-D" Not to mention that Wolfenstein 3D kicked this games existence in the arse

in May of 1992, so they made Catacomb 3-D, as a prototype? And Hovertank? This is a waste of my precious time! Butt this game is

as "good" as my Butt hole! Even Elite (1984) is rated higher! Oh wait- Why the hell are they rated the same? we may never know.

Gameplay

you have a fireball, that's it why does the cover have a gun? False ADVERTISING,

Also: Zombie bunnies, how realistic, Also: "lich" sends out: Zombie military gorillas? What?

You also, walk, how cool, in...3-D so?

Plot

Is there really a plot? kinda?

So: in a world of crazy stuff- you walk, and stuff, but yikes! You'r friend "Greminar" is captured by "Lich" seriously? That sounds like a DnD character made by a 5 year old,

so- you go in the: "catacombs" see what I did there? funny? okay i'll stop. And accordingly: blast everyone (mostly zombie gorilla's and crap) With magic hand fireball's N stuff.

That's, pretty much it

Developing

a random company called "ID" software decided: Oh, I'm gonna make a game in this fine year of 1991! and they made a truck load of Games, Every single one being 3D,

(except the original catacomb) and they had the magical idea to: Make jazz play for all of eternity. And of course: More games,

Thats one way to barf.

they got to work on some good 'ol 3D games

quote: "yay I'm spinning!"

That was the testing developer right before they got sea sick

some say: "what?"

Franchise

The "Catacomb" Franchise, just like anything else made by ID software, has ten thousand sequels,

Sweet JESUS there's a LOT.

Catacomb

Catacomb 3-D

Catacomb: the decent

The Catacomb abyss

Terror of the catacombs.

And so much damn more...
