Xanthier Posted July 25, 2005 I may be a noob when it comes to my skill level at DOOM so when I heard ACtion DOOm was hard, I didn't realize it was Insanely and Ridiculously difficult, I mean I consider myself a lightly seasoned doomer but that game put the smack down on my OVer and over... I died more times than I care to count and I was on practice mode. Maybe I am beyond sad. I mean I beat Contra but that Contra-esque wall at the end of the first level was insane! I ran in circles shooting at that orb which would work until a stray (and may I say monstrous) turret shell would blow my head off. Of course I was trying to beat it with like 15% health, but still, persistence should have paid off. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted July 25, 2005 I beat it on Contra difficulty in the span of a few hours. OMG score! During this time I also made sure to destroy every specimen of canned imp I could find, which was quite a few. :p OMG cans! OMG cans! 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted July 25, 2005 It was designed to be hardcore tough like Contra is/was. A good merge between Doom and that lovely Konami franchise, imo. Also, it was quite a privilege to be a little easter egg in there. : D I'll have to bring it out and play it again, now that you remind me... 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted July 25, 2005 I remember my first taste of action. I casually caressed the icon with my crusor, before giving it a good, hard click. I remember being amazed with how good ACTION felt, how awesome it looked, the sounds of ecstacy playing through the hot, throbbing, vibrating speakers... I shot my load within three minutes, but I just kept on going. That's how much I loved it. And even now that I've explored every wonderfull inch until I have every hot, sensual pixel burned into the back of my retinas, I still go back for a little ACTION every now and again. It is forever in my thoughts. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted July 25, 2005 Vile made some demos a while back - they might help you. His old download links don't seem to work any more. Give me a little while and I'll upload them. Edit: OK, they're here: action01 action02 action03 They require Zdoom 2.0.63a. Not completely sure they'll answer your question. 0 Share this post Link to post

Cardboard Marty Posted July 28, 2005 Action Doom was kick-ass. Doom Racer was confusing, mainly because of the tight controls. 0 Share this post Link to post
