Longinius 1 Posted May 21, 2002 Question: What was catacombs? Answer: "The first 3d shooter was a game called "CATACOMBS 3D". It was created by John Romero before he started on Wolfenstein 3D. It uses the almost the same engine. It was a heretic type of game with zombies and other ugly creatures." Reading is hard, aint it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was created by John Romero in 1991. One year later he created Wolfenstein 3D and it's expansion set Spear of Destiny all using the same engine. Catacombs 3D (a.k.a. Catacombs; the Descent) in the follow up of the game "catacomb II" created also bu John in 1990. I myself have never found the first Catacomb in the series, but it should be an 80's game so it probably sucks. Another 3D shooter appeared between Catacombs and Wolfenstein. This game was Hovertank. Also a great game from Id. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gorgi Knootewoot 0 Posted May 21, 2002 There was another Catacomb game, it's name was Catacomb Abyss 3D. This game was actually done after Wolfenstein 3D by the people of Softdisk (who had the copyrights to Catacombs 3D) in 1992 as a sequel to the previous Catacomb 3-D game.

Gorgi Knootewoot 0 Posted May 21, 2002 The best 3d-shooter is Deus Ex. Although the game is refered to as shooter, the game a lot of RPG-elements. Also shooting wasn't always the case, as you could take the silent approach and hack into security systems, picklock your way in. Yup, my fav of all time. But not for long. Morrowind is released and will be in stores in Holland on 30th May. 31th Soldier of Fortune II will be here, but i want Morrowind first. Very good RPG +100 quests to complete +300 dungeons to explore +3000 NPC's over 50 different customizable characters open ended RPG http://www.elderscrolls.com will you be a warrior will you be a sorceror will you be a thief will you be a healer will you just be a monk in a monastary NO LIMITS I want it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
