AB3D 1 is also groovy on WinUAE. AB3D 2 still doesn't work correctly, and perhaps that's for the best.

Using the sacred Bible (well, it is to me) that is Amiga Power (they gave Rise of the Robots the lowest mark of the Amiga magazines, thanks), AB3D gets 91%, simply put at the end: "Doom, but on the amiga. My word."

AB3D 2, reviewed in the last issue, got a slightly confusing range of score from 54% to 'somewhere in the mid-60s, if you have an Amiga fast enough to run it.' So there you go. Sister magazine Amiga Format got excited and gave it 96%...

Fears had no soul to it, quite simply. Nor did Breathless.

Nobody's mentioned Citadel or Testament yet. Those ones were mildly Ok...

Gloom was terrific fun, althought the penultimate level has its sights firmly on giving me a heart attack, as I'm down to my last life, and I hurtle headlong into the teleporter to take me into an almighty shoot-out room, where the only solution is to dash to the exit. Great, yet tense fun.

I enjoy AB3D on the emulator too.

Don't forget the Amiga-Power-discovered, unintended Doom clone of 'Knights of the sky', an old fighting fligth simulator based in WWI, where you could shoot it out on the ground with a friend if both your engines had gone...
