- After downloading and playing Catacomb Abyss, I liked it well
- enough to purchase the entire trilogy of Catacomb 3D games;
- Catacomb Abyss, Catacomb Armageddon, and Catacomb Apocalypse.
- This may sound like heresy here on the net, but I liked these
- games better than Wolfenstein 3D (sorry, Jay :) You meet _many_
- more opponents than in Wolf, and it takes more hits and more
- time to defeat each creature you meet (On warrior mode. The
- ONLY way to play. ;-) I spent a good deal of time re-trying
- certain situations with different strategies to survive the
- intense combat with more of my health and power intact. With
- most games, this would bore and frustrate me, however here it
- wasn't so bad. Also, some of the ways these monsters die
- is quite amusing. I feel that even though these games are in
- EGA resolution, they are a visual feast. Very imaginative
- creatures and settings. These three games are going on my
- 'A' list of arcade/adventures along with Duke Nukem 1-3,
- Commander Keen 4-6, and Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure 1-3 (except
- for those devilish ice walls in Cosmo 2, levels 7 and 8).
