The Apogee Throwback Pack reviews

* There Are two games in this package that I explored for hours in its shareware version (was poor): Blake Stone and Rise of the Triad. The Apogee Throwback Pack includes these two games in addition to their extended versions or later chapters. If you ever played them and you have an impulse to nostalgia, this package is excellent. * Use DosBox But if you scratch a bit, you can find sourceports to modernize the situation (although both ports are half abandoned and sometimes complicate the situation more than improve it). * I Remember the feelings of strangeness that caused me both games after having devoted entire summers to Wolfenstein and Doom. What Both games had, unlike Wolf 3D and DOOM, was very good humor and a lot of risk. They Pushed the very limitations of their engines to reach to offer more complex labyrinths and vast worlds for the players of the genre. In Blake Stone We will find dialogues between the characters while in ROTT we'll see towards the heights. * It'S amazing to think that at the time, like there was a console war, there was a war to create a better engine for the FPSs. Whoever won the war at the time was DOOM, who favored action and speed. But these games, both are based on the Wolf 3d engine and it's fascinating what Apogee got when he continued to play with his own engine. * A note: ROTT lays the foundations of the ironic and irreverent humor of Duke Nukem (in addition to textures and more... "Real"). An example of this is God's way, which turns your avatar into a ten-foot-tall character and can explode enemies with energy spheres. The character, meanwhile, seems to saying goodbye prayers and hoot as if it were a divine apparition. Other Strange Powers of ROTT: You can become a dog or chew hallucinogenic mushrooms. * Blake Lively, on the other hand, has interesting moments reminiscent of interactive adventures because you can find some computers or talk to some characters and choose options. Blake Lively is a beautiful retro ride, but futuristic, but 16 bit, but in space. Maybe Fallout was based a little on this for your computers in the wilderness? We Can write this down into the fascinating development of the game inside the game. * Unfortunately as oldest old games that use DOSBox, they do not have support for the steam overlay, challenges and chrome. Basically This is a product for nostalgic people. And It's a shame because new generations might feel fearful of exploring these pieces of history. They Are Great games, with interesting mazes and devour proposals.
