Very fast, very fun romp

Simply a fantastically good game based on the square tile system akin to wolfenstein 3D. Great level design, good monsters, great sound, great guns, tons and tons of fun!

Should run on any pc you can think of, even at launch, the game was fluid and very well supported. If you "get" oldschool gaming, this one is definitely one NOT to miss.

The story is pretty straightforward - greedy guy builds a bunch of scary monsters and wants to take everything over. He has amassed a ton of wealth and hidden it throughout his "buildings". You'll spend more time looking to complete a level than you will in clearing it out of baddies.
