Windows/Linux source port with OpenGL graphics for Catacomb 3D (1991), Catacomb Abyss (1992), Catacomb Armageddon (1992) and Catacomb Apocalypse (1993).

CatacombGL 0.5.7 is released!

The first version of the new year is unfortunately a much needed hot-fix. In the previous version I accidently introduced a crash when taking certain exit portals. The crash report from Github user DEA1HYT is much appreciated.

Oh wow, the Biomenace remaster is a real nostalgia trip. I always remember the game having a weird tone and yep, right off the bat there's bleeding corpses in the streets, skeletons, etc. And the enemies are smiling funny little guys with googly eyes.

The level 2 theme is Pop Goes The Weasel.

Sorry folks but Duke Nukem is old news. The shareware platforming himbo that Gen Z can't get enough of is Snake Logan from BioMenace

(BioMenace Remastered is really good)

We didn't just rebalance the difficulty in BioMenace Remastered, we also made it possible to switch difficulty - you can start on hard and go down to normal later, for example. The playthrough will be marked as "mixed difficulty" on the leaderboards.

There's an infamous softlock in E2L4 of BioMenace - if you know, you know. We fixed that in the Remaster, as you can see here. We also made level design friendlier on easy and normal difficulties. One of those difficulty tweaks can be seen in this video, can you spot it?

We're giving all the sprites & tiles subtle visual upgrades in BioMenace Remastered, not only just a palette change. But if you prefer the original grahics, no worries - you can play the game with the original graphics too. BioMenace Remastered coming out December 18th!

Some changes in BioMenace Remastered are very obvious, like Snake's skin color, but we also made many subtle enhancements. E.g. this floating platform which now has animated blinking lights (static in the original). And it only blinks while moving 😎

People have been asking us if we can add the possibility to play with the original PC-Speaker sounds. So we did. You can also combine it with music. A lot players that played BioMenace in 1993 experience the game like this. How did you play it?

- The daily video game history fact -

Catacomb 3-D (1991) is the first FPS to display the player’s hand in a texture-mapped 3D environment, making it one of the earliest examples of what would evolve into the modern first-person shooter genre.
