Catacomb
2, the PC-Only sequel released less than a year after Catacomb,
was basically Catacomb remixed with new levels, same engine and
same graphics. Sometime in 1993 the game was renamed to the name
The Catacomb |

Catacomb
3d: A new dimension. This was the first 3d texture mapping game
EVER! Even before the likes of Ultima Underworld and Wolfenstein
3d you were nuking orcs and trolls as you descended through a
16 color EGA adventure!!! |
|
Catacomb
3d: The Descent was a re-released version of the original Catacomb
3d for the ID Software retro package called Vintage ID, that sold
for high prices. The only difference is that in this game is that
Nemesis is now Gremlinar, and a changed title screen. |
|
Catacomb
Abyss: the first game of the Catacomb Fantasy Trilogy, which in
my opinion is the best. The ONLY shareware game in the catacomb
series released, which surprisingly WAS the whole game (With the
use of cheats) Revamped Engine. |
|
Catacomb
Armageddon: Basically the sequel to abyss with the same feel and
setting, medieval times with magic and sorcery. I guess the plot
is basically just as oblivious as Abyss, your sole mission is
just to destroy nemesis (and his cronies) |
|
Catacomb
Apocalypse: Catacomb in the future. Nemesis has gained access
to time gates and has created mechanical monstrosities that are
bent on destroying mankind. First HUB-Based videogame ever created,
even before hexen. |
|
Catacomb
Resurrection: A now defunct remake and or new catacomb game of
sorts programmed by moi. The alpha version featured 3d accelerated
graphics, MD2 zombie models and the classic catacomb look. I just
have no time for it anymore. |
