DOS version
A true classic.
The Good
Well, suffice to say that is was progarmmed by John Carmack :-) It was simply groundbreaking at the time. Though clearly inferior to Doom (which came out a year or so later) it was still an awesome game -- first person shooter action, decent graphics, a blazingly fast (for the time) 3D engine and a truly ridiculous storyline. It's what makes first person shooters so great, isn't it?
The Bad
What's not to like? The music and sound effects aren't "all that", but the game still rocks.
The Bottom Line
If you liked Doom, you'll like its predecessor. Get it, play it, love it and live it.
