About the game

It was fast, smooth and in full 3D, at least as it looked at the time, on ordinary PCs. Nothing like it had been seen before.

Secret walls hide treasure and whole hidden areas, and finding them is half the fun.

History

Developed by id Software and published by Apogee in 1992 as shareware.

id followed it with Doom a year later, and the series continues today.
