The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki
Description official description
This is one of the tons of Doom clones that were released in 1994/1995. The story: Dr. Radiaki has created an army of genetically modified creatures, and wants to conquer the world. You have to go to his fortress and stop him. The main points that set it apart from other games in this category: it's intended to be rather humorous, you start with a baseball bat instead of a knife, and you actually have to reload guns (ie you have to hit Space almost constantly).

Quite a rare game now, for game collectors only as the gameplay is not good...
The Good
Very funny and does not take itself too seriously.
The Bad
The 3D Engine and movement : prepare the vomit bag, you'll need it ; the unprofessional sounds (but funny, it was on purpose ?) ; Ugly textures ; You can not re-assignate controls (a shame)
- You can not even strafe (and that would have prevented from so much nausea)
The Bottom Line
A game you can burn unless you are a collector like me. I have some good moments with that game but at every corner you can ask yourself "how could they have released that crap ?"
