I never played the predecessors, but AB3D was one of my favorites. Although the graphics were pretty lo-def, it made excellent use of sound, which heightened the anticipation of whatever nasty was lurking around the corner. Lots of good puzzles to solve. Sadly, I never got past the big room at the bottom of the last level and only got that far about half a dozen times (WAY too many baddies in that room for the remaining ammo, etc. by the time you get there!). This is a game that would have benefitted from mid level saves.
I, also, would love to see a modern version with updated graphics. Sadly, it seems (as I have read) that even though the code was released, it was such a jumble that no one has been able to sort it out and build it better.
AD3D2 was not as much fun to play. it just lacked the feel and anticipation and dread.
