Welcome to the games page, here you will find reviews, manuals etc, all for those lovable catacomb games... or not so lovable. Anyway, some game sections may not be up, but I will change this as soon as I get them up, if that made sense or not.

 

The Games of the Crypt.

The Original CATACOMB I. Developed by John Carmack and Published by SoftDisk and Gamers Edge Inc. The root of all things we call Catacomb. © 1989-1990. Appeared on Big Blue Disk #50 and Vertabim DownUnder

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.
