Arioch Posted November 25, 2001 Ok, so there's not a funeral. Metabolist has uploaded 3 reviews that he had been sitting on for a few months to his pages, which are of ctf_blod, phobia, and CH_retro_new. He has also spotted a Doom GBA review in The Guide, which is a subsection of the Guardian. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Chris Posted November 25, 2001 Hi Metabolist! Thanx for the good review of CH Retro! Now if you take a look here http://home13.inet.tele.dk/CNH you'll learn that one day you'll perhaps be reviewing an entire episode! And then the dl link for Phobia isn't correct. It should be ftp://3darchives.in-span.net/pub/idgames/levels/doom2/p-r/phobia.zip Hope it's Ok I posted it! See ya! 0 Share this post Link to post

Metabolist Posted November 26, 2001 Whoops, I'll fix that link ASAP. It would have been handy if they had quoted the review, because I quoted it at them! Here it is: Walking around mazes shooting monsters could scarcely be regarded as a simulation of anything in particular, and yet when Doom first came out, parents were up in arms about how it was training children to kill. Luckily the predicted videogame-inspired carnage never materialised, and those of us that grew up on first-person shooting games appear to be (relatively) unaffected, so it is with some measure of relief that we can greet a new portable incarnation of this ageing classic. Doom on Game Boy Advance is an amalgamation of levels from various versions of the original that represents the very best of what it had to offer. Key cards, hell knights, and the ubiquitous shotgun all make their way back into this miniature masterpiece. It's no longer scary, and unless you have extremely small hands will cause severe cramps, but Doom is still a defining game experience and one that you can now take on holiday with you. Make of that what you will. 0 Share this post Link to post
