im on level 8 of the last episode of W3D. Ive got 34% health 35 bullets left & im playing it on "Im Death Incarnate". Ive been searching around for hidden secrets but found nothing. Im in one big room with 4 doors, theres lots of blue meanies on the other side & theres nowhere to hide...I think im buggered....

 

ahhh yes I remember the first time I saw Wolf3d and was like wow! Then there was spear of destiny, remember that? and bizzarely I only found out the other day that ID were reponsible for the excellent commander keen platformers circa 91/92, at the time my only PC was a works compaq deskpro 386sx with colour vga.

 

being on the xbox even IDSPISPOPD cant help me now....

 

yup had all the commander keen ones on me 286

 

Sadly my new Pc only has Pci slots, long story on another thread.

B2Zero recommended I get one of these

Which I did, still to install (the integrated graphics that came with the Pc are causing problems, no doubt another thread will follow)


Pc has P4 2.8, 512 K mem, 80Gb HDD
Will this be enough for me to run and play Doom 3, like the rest of you, aching to play this game.

I experienced something similar with the orginal Doom on PS1, LOL, I find if you play a game for 3-4 hours before sleeping you occasionally end up dreaming about the game, Doom was a bit scary but the dreams after playing GTR3 were fantastic!!

Iain,

You're wrong I'm afraid
I never said Doom was the first (Commander Keen?) I just suggested it had the most impact.

Although Wolfenstein was a sterling effort, it wasn't until they released Doom on the PC that people started to buy PC's just for a game - no other game prior to Doom had this effect on turning a PC into a games machine.

Following this, it was then Quake (specifically Quakeworld) that then created this mad industry of graphics cards we enjoy today. GLQuake anyone?

@cem

glquake........... i went out and bought twin righteous orchid voodoo 12 meg cards to play this game in its full glory. ahhhh.................. those were the days, my old celeron 300 over clocked to 450 with 128 meg of ram ran it very nicely.

/getting all nostalgic now

cheers

. Not sure if it did or not, as doom wouldn't have been made if wolfenstein / spear of destiny hadn't been a big success. I wonder how quick these things would run on my 3.2Ghz P4. Must give it a go

Same here

 

Q: Anyone remember the first 3D hardware accelerated version of Quake ?

(before GLQuake)

A: Rendition Verite

 

finished wolfenstein 3D over the weekend. Now i think i'll return to castle wolfenstein all death incarnate like....
