Atomprojekt - Loved Wolfenstein 3D? You should play this!




In 1992 many of us had the pleasure of playing id Software's incredible first person shooter ' Wolfenstein 3D ' for MS-DOS. It was the second major release after Commander Keen and featured a unique 3D game engine with multiple enemy types such as Nazi soldiers and dogs, and multiple weapon types to defend yourself with such as guns and knifes. It is a game that is still loved to this day and

Wolfenstein 3D remake now on the Pico-8!




As the 8-bit fantasy console Pico-8 gets improvements to its engine, people are pushing its boundaries more and more. As a result, more and more raycasting demos and games are coming out of the woodwork. As well as a Duke Nukem 3D demake/demo, is a WIP of the granddaddy of them all, Wolfenstein 3D, which many will recognise as the starting point for the whole First Person Shooter genre.

CD32X-men Mind Games - Unreleased 32X title makes an appearance on the Amiga




We are only one day into 2017 and already the news is making a highlight on the Amiga and Amiga CD32, as we are welcoming ' CD32X-men: Mind Games ' into the new year. This is a rather unusual first person shooter that was actually going to be released on the Sega 32x by Scavenger, who are well known for making great games on the Sega Mega Drive. Sadly this game never made it to the 32x as it

Warlock Revenge - A first person shooter inspired by DOS classics aims for a Greenlight success




To be honest although I do play the odd modern day first person shooter such as DOOM or Battlefield 4, I'm still a huge fan of those retro classics such as Blake Stone or even Wolfenstein 3D, which are both playable through Dosbox. So it came as a surprise to me to learn of a new first person shooter aiming for a Steam Greenlight success, that is inspired by those classics but with a dark

Brutal Doom 64 - New bloody trailer for next week's release!




Some time back now SGtMarkIV released the jaw dropping Brutal Doom, which was pretty much the bloodiest Doom mod we've played, with more gibs and guts than you could ever need in the classic Doom. But now SGtMarkIV has not only released a brand new trailer for Brutal Doom 64, the next PC overhaul in his line up from the Nintendo 64, but he has also announced the release date of next week

A critically claimed game for its

Shadow Warrior - MS-DOS FPS making its way on to the Amiga




Another great heads up by Solo Kazuki is the MS-DOS first person shooter ' Shadow Warrior ', which is being ported over to the Amiga by Modern Vintage Gamer. Originally developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Interactive back in 1997, Shadow Warrior had an improved engine from the one used in Duke Nukem 3D and featured 3D voxels instead of 2D sprites, usable inventory items, and violent

Saturn Icarus - Work in progress retro inspired first person shooter




Don't get me wrong the latest Doom release is a damn fine game, but in all honesty I prefer playing the much older types, the original Wolfenstein 3D or in fact the original Doom released back in the early 90's. So it stands to reason why I just had to play Mischa's first person retro inspired game ' Saturn Icarus ', that's available to download on the PC. Please be aware however that it is a

Brutal Doom 64 - New bloody video featuring 24 minutes of BD64 gameplay




During the early part of this year SGtMarkIV released the latest Brutal Doom version of v20b. Pretty much the bloodiest Doom mod we've played with more gibs and guts than you could ever need in the classic Doom. But now SGtMarkIV has once again impressed us with his talents with a brand new video, featuring 24 minutes of Brutal Doom 64 gameplay. The next overhaul in his line up from the

Devil's Hand - A Hexen & Wolfenstein FPS mix you might want to play!




It's that time again when those Ludum Dare games start appearing, and only just recently the Ludum Dare had a set theme of Shapeshift, which meant that developers from around the globe came together to create their own games in the style of the current theme. One such game stood out and that was Roni SIlva's rather eye opening first person shooter of  'Devil's Hand ', which had the game play

Brutal Doom 64 - Enhanced Doom 64 gets new alpha footage!




Throughout last year and into this one, we've been featuring many of SGtMarkIV's release updates for Brutal Doom, which as we said before was pretty much the bloodiest Doom mod we've come across, with more gibs and guts than you could ever need in a first person shooter. But now after some hinting, the same creator has moved onto ' Brutal Doom 64 ', which according to SGt, "revitalizes the old
