Originally Released: January 18th, 2014 ------------------------------------------ Blake Stone is often forgotten about given that it came out just one month before Doom, but despite that it had a strong showing for what little time it had before Doom hit the scene and obliterated the competition as far as first person shooters were concerned. That said, it's freaking hard and has some of the most ridiculous secrets-within-secrets chains I've ever seen. It also has some rather unique mechanics to help keep things interesting compared to other similar titles. ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Here's the link to the GOG page you can get this game from. Note too that the pack I mentioned is sold on the right side of the page where it lists all the games that are a part of the pack: http://www.gog.com/game/blake_stone_aliens_of_gold/?pp=91dfde1d6e005e422f64a59776234f1f4c80b5e4 * I kinda screwed up the DOSBox settings this week because it completely skipped my mind to test using the Dynamic core. If you set the core to dynamic mode, the game runs much more smoothly and high fixed cycles counts work properly. :P * One oddity about this game is that the elevators go up to Floor 10, but you don't ever have to go to Floor 10 to beat the game, since the boss and the mission goal is always on Floor 9. It also turns out that Floor 10 is NOT the same as the secret level each mission has, so that means there's technically 66 levels in this game! :O ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html
