If anyone is interested in playing the catacomb games there is a shareware demo for the abyss online.

Apocalypse is the best, because its plot is that the character nemesis takes control of time and merges cybernetics with his fantasy monsters and makes for some cool scenarios. You fight flying robot mages and monsters that are holographs. |

I just beat the demo and I'd say it isn't half bad. The graphics aren't as good but other than that it is a pretty good game.  |

Just letting people know, even though this is labeled as "shareware demo" it is actually the entire first game in the catacomb trilogy. Don't worry, its legal because they were supposed to be released as a full set, but they weren't. ENJOY! |

What do you mean it crashed? What happened? Its been tested with XP. Go to Start.exe and activate that, then press 6. It should work. |

How do you get the entire set of Catacombs 3d The demo was pretty good, I like the treasure boxes and that you can open them. |

I stumbled onto a full catacomb 3d dl using a google search
It's pretty awesome, it's got a compass and chargable hand weapon, exploding walls, pretty cool, classic VGA graphics
Feast your eyes on this 1337 ownage, the guy kinda looks like BJ

I thought the exploding walls was a pretty cool effect and Catacombs was great for its time, at least in my opinion anyways.  |

I don't think he'll give you the link right in front of the whole forum. We have rules here about that. |

Please, no more requests of still-copyrighted games, people. Besides knowing it's not correct, we also know it is something forbidden in these forums, for they will not survive if those who still own the games' rights realise we're openly distributing their property here. You know the rules, guys; and Taker, if you didn't, now you do. Thank you all.

I played Catacomb 3d and the Catacomb trilogy - and I liked the games a lot. They are quite simple or "minimalistic" compared to todays standarts, but they are a lot of fun. In my oppinion the second game of the trilogy (Catacomb Armageddon) is the best one. Nothing can beat the "cute" bunnies... Absolutely nothing.
By the way: some people say HeXen was the first game to have HUBs and kind of non-linear gameplay resulting from it. They lie. Catacomb 3d (1991!) allready features a hub-level with several portals taking you to different levels. These levels all have a scroll lying around somewhere. The order in which you visit the levels is completely up to you.
A very good game for having "only one" weapon (which however can be used several ways if you find the items to do so!) |

Catacomb apocalypse (my favorite) has a hub as well. |
