Duke Nukem 3. D, Doom, Quake, Ken's Labyrinth, Catacomb Abyss, and many more! ADVERTISEMENTRating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. Alien Cabal is a FPS where aliens have invaded, and it's your job (apparently) to kill them. However in my testing I didn't encounter any aliens, just identical guys in suits whose sole purpose in life seemed to be to run up to me and shoot me in the face. As fun as that sounds, unless you enjoy hearing terrible sound effects (be ready to hear "You're not authorized!" shouted at you repeatedly) and strange graphics, you probably won't be a fan of this game. It's certainly unique .. Rating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. Not that bad at all. This is a game that Apogee released between Wolfenstein 3. D and Rise of the Triad. Basically it uses the Wolfenstien engine with some modifications, the best of which is a map so you're not lost throughout the entire game. It also adds a greater variety of enemies, money which can be used to buy things, switches which change the level, and so on. It isn't quite as memorable as Wolf. ![]() ![]() ![]() Software from the market leader as a free download. Home > Free Floor Plan Software > Sketchup Floor Plan Software Sketchup Review. Sketchup is a helpful 3D modeling software that allows you to create and 3D shapes and. D (mostly because it lacks the freshness of that game) but if you like the older 3. D games like Wolf. D or Catacomb Abyss you might want to try it out. Rating: DEMO! [ Screenshot ]. Made using the "Build" 3. D engine (the same engine used to make Duke Nukem 3. D), Blood is an often overlooked game that is actually quite well made and offers plenty of fun for 3. D shooting fans. This demo version includes an introduction to the full game. Not surprisingly, this game serves up a lot of .. And severed heads, and so on .. D action. (NOTE: It should be obvious but this game is not intended for children!)Rating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. What? An id Software 3. D shooter that was released before Wolf. D? Yup. It's relatively cool, too, if a bit less refined than Wolf. Full 3D environment Colorful graphics Dual digital clock FPS counter Relaxing music and soothing sound effects Amazingly realistic waterfall and its surroundings.D. (It uses EGA graphics instead of VGA.) This game could have served as the inspiration for the newer 3. D game Blood, so similar are the styles. I like it, it's still quite fun to play. And hey, it has a pretty cool name, too. Chasm: The Rift. Megamedia Corporation. Rating: DEMO! [ Screenshot ]. This surprisingly good 3. D shooting game (the demo is downloadable here) is, in terms of technical things like graphics, somewhere between DOOM and Quake. Unlike most other 3. D copycat- style games of this time period, this game actually plays quite decently. There is an actual story before the game begins, and once the game starts there is plenty of frantic action, along the lines of Quake. Recommended! (Note: Windows users may want to try VDMSound, available on the Essential Utilities page, to get this game working.). Rating: Freeware [ Screenshot ]. Based on a modified version of the DOOM engine, Chex Quest was originally included on free promotional CDs with Chex brand cereal. Surprisingly, this game is actually decent, with fairly good graphics and sounds (not too surprising, given its DOOM- based engine). Although it's fairly short (only five levels) its surreal atmosphere makes it worth trying out. Thanks goes to "doowopman" of The- Underdogs for repacking this game for easy online distribution.)Rating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. While this game has won many awards (listed on the Chub. Gam. Soft website) I'm not a huge fan. It plays well enough and has some interesting graphic/gameplay elements (like an actual storyline, and cutscenes to tell it) it just seems quite unprofessional at times. Note: You'll probably have to reboot into DOS mode to play this game .. I was unable to get it working on this computer (at all) so this review was written from memory from when I played this game a year or so ago.). Capstone Software. Rating: DEMO! [ Screenshot ]. This game was unfortunately released shortly after Doom, meaning that it had to compete with one of the best 3. D shooters of all time using .. Wolfenstein 3. D engine. Not even a fair fight, really. While the game is decent enough, its pretty obvious that its using the Wolf. D engine, with its boxy environments and simple sprites. Overall, it has decent graphics (again, comparable to Wolf. D), and it could be enjoyable if you force yourself to forget about Doom and play this game based on its own merits. Rating: DEMO! [ Screenshot ]. A demo version of one of a simply great 3. D shooting game that I missed playing when it was originally released. Also known as "Star Wars: Dark Forces", this 3. D shooting game does not use the DOOM engine, it uses Lucas. Arts' own engine which includes a few features not seen in DOOM. Though it still includes a very DOOM- like map.) Smooth although low- res graphics and responsive gameplay, along with the Star Wars theme, make this one a keeper. Definitely play it if you enjoy 3. D shooting games! Depth Dwellers. 1. Rating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. Depth Dwellers is a relatively unknown early 3. D shooting game that was probably the victim of bad timing: It was released only a few months after DOOM. The game engine developed by Tri. Soft is somewhere inbetween Wolfenstein 3. D and DOOM in terms of features and abilities. The game itself is fairly generic, with not a lot of unique features, and only passable graphics for a 3. D game. Overall a decent effort from an unknown development team, but really there's not much reason to play this instead of DOOM. It's not quite as "AWSOME" [sic] as the registration screen suggests. Rating: DEMO! [ Screenshot ]. Descent was quite popular on its release. It expanded on the 3. D shooting genre by giving players a real 3. D environment unlike Doom or Duke Nukem 3. D. In this 7- level DEMO version of Descent you must pilot your spaceship through many 3. D levels destroying various bad guys along the way. Think of Doom crossed with Wing Commander and you'll have a fairly good picture of what this game's about. A fun shooter that has aged pretty well (and still works on my XP computer) that lacks a bit of the flair and style of Doom or Duke Nukem 3. D. Rating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. Chosen by Computer Gaming World as part of their 'Hall of Fame' ("DOOM revolutionized PC action games"), DOOM has been one of the most played computer games of the past few years. And for good reason. I admit, it scared the hell outta me when I first played it. Even today, with increasingly sophisticated 3. D action games (Quake, Unreal, Halflife, etc.) DOOM's gameplay is classic. Get it now, even if you've already played it .. Rating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. Does blowing away pigcops, destroying entire buildings, and shooting your way through an adult XXX store sound enjoyable? Then you'll love Duke 3. D. (Note: There isn't actually anything X- rated in the game.) Uses the "Build" engine, which is still similar to the old Wolf. D engine in that there are no rooms on top of other rooms, but it's been tweaked and pushed to the max. Lots of fun! (Note: Several people have emailed me to comment that there ARE rooms- above- rooms in Duke. D. While the effect of rooms- above- rooms can be _simulated_ in Build, there are never really any rooms on top of other rooms in the game, and thus it's not truly 3. D.)Rating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. Based on the DOOM engine, Heretic was only mildly popular on its release because there were so many copycat 3. D- shooting games released around the same time. However, Heretic is one of the better shooting games released in the pre- Quake era. It has solid level design, good graphics & sounds (although of course you're limited to 3. DOOM. Rating: DEMO! [ Screenshot ]. The sequel to the popular Heretic game, Hexen takes the Heretic engine and adds some notable improvements, like weather effects, breakable environments, roleplaying elements and less linear gameplay. Instead of just playing through levels, you must venture through the "hub" which connects various worlds. The atmosphere created in this game is well done, and if you're a fan of early 3. D shooting games chances are you'll enjoy this 4- level DEMO version of Hexen. Millenium Media Group. Rating: Shareware [ Screenshot ]. This is a 3. D shooter you've probably never played before. It uses an engine similar to the one used by early 3. D games like Wolfenstein 3. D or Ken's Layrinth. It includes weird SB sound effects and some rather wacky graphics .. Rating: Freeware [ Screenshot ]. Sort of like Wolf. D, but more .. wacky. It was created by Ken Silverman (who later went on to design the "Build" engine used for Duke. D). Originally he released it on his own .. Epic Megagames, although I liked the original better.
