CatacombGL for AmigaOS 4

Hi there,

Thank you for visiting my blog. 🙂

George Sokianos a.k.a. Walkero has returned with a brand new port! This time he has brought over Catacomb 3D and the Catacomb Adventure series to AmigaOS 4.

Catacomb 3D was originally released for PC back in 1991. It was developed by iD Software, Inc., known for classics like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. It is a first-person fantasy shooter.

The port for AmigaOS 4 requires the original data files, which can be obtained from GOG (Good Old Games):

https://www.gog.com/en/game/catacombs_pack

Main features are as follows:

• Runs native on AmigaOS 4
• Hardware accelerated 3D rendering via OpenGL, supporting widescreen
  resolutions, a customizable field of view and an uncapped frame rate.
• Player, projectile and monster movement with floating point precision.
• Configurable mouse and keyboard controls.
• Supports all four Catacomb 3D games as included in the Catacombs Pack from
  GOG.com.
• Supports The Catacomb Abyss version 1.13 (shareware).

CatacombGL is available for download from OS4Depot.

If you’d like to read more about the port, please visit Walkero’s page on Ko-Fi.

Thanks for reading. See you in another post here on the Old School Game Blog!

Catacomb Apocalypse

Nemesis discovers time travel!

Well now we're just throwing everything over the wayside. At one point you even have a choice of which 3 levels to do in order inside a hub level. (Prehistoric Hexen)

Perhaps we've jumped the shark at this point? Nah get wacky with me.

We've got monsters from the past and future. We've got invisible enemies. We even have Time Lords and I don't think they're from Gallifrey.

Catacomb Armageddon

(I'm not going by the other name)

Now out from below where Nemesis laid dead comes up to the surface for dark purposes.

The zombies have hair, the skeletons became punk rockers. EVIL rabbits. Friggin trees. The demon develops an additional head. A floating eye ball!

More streamlined this time. Sadly that means no extra hidden levels or information scrolls represented in your inventory as numbers.

Catacomb Abyss

My first FPS (no really)

Your nemesis, Nemesis was defeated before but his minons bid worship to his grave. Dark Fantasy guy will just have to clean up.

I love this. It really fired up my imagination when I was a child, it was also when I first learned about zombies. Often you'll have to blast open walls. Try to find the gems that let you see enemies on your radar. Best played late at night during a thunderstorm.
