- I don't know what the hell they were doing, comparing the graphics to
- Underworld (the original). It doesn't even compare favorably to
- Wolfenstein 3D. Even there you had doors that actually open and close
- instead of those that you just teleport through. Particularly bad is
- how it just lets you walk through people! It's still blocky when you
- get up fast, and it's still fairly slow.
-
- That said, those of you who liked Catacombs 3D and want an RPG with a
- wolf3D-like display (Not like underworld at all.. no slopes, shading,
- etc.) might like this one. Chuck's post had a bit more detail.
