Halfway through the month and I’ve only just started on this. I do enjoy getting into these games I’ve completely missed out on though so will try to catch up and finish it this month. It’s certainly a very different experience to most of the other FPS I’ve played from around then. These levels are huge and quite the navigation challenge. It’s really not easy knowing where to go and I also took ages to find the parking spot at the end of level 2. It’s fun just to have a driving level at all in a DOS FPS though and I like the variety.

I’m not sure if the gameplay is winning me over or not. I’ve been lost and low on hitpoints far more than I’d like. I got completely stuck in one of the building stairwells in level 1 and didn’t seem to be able to jump high enough to get back out. I agree about level 2 being hard. I kind of wish I’d started on easy now. If I’d paid full price at the time, it’s probably about right though. I’m struggling through once I figure things out. Got to give the engine some props. Quake must have been about 18 months after this yet we’re already in full 3D FPS territory here.
