An unofficial sequel to Wolfenstein 3D that was released by Formgen as a retail only game (not shareware like Wolf3D) this demo version unfortunately contains only two playable levels. However the Spear of Destiny game is still great fun, although it uses

A fairly cool shooting game from Apogee. It's sort of inbetween Wolf3D and Duke3D ... it has some cool new features, (at least, they were new at the time), but at times they don't seem to work together all that well. For example, there's too much platform
Radix is a spaceship 3D shooting game which is somewhat similar to Descent. It still owes a lot to Doom though, and the level design is not quite up to par with Descent. Still, it has nice graphics (for its time) and good sound effects as well. The contro
Quiver is an interesting relic from the early 3D shooting era. Although it was released post-Doom and the engine it uses seems quite similar to the Doom engine, it is not nearly as good as the id Software classic game. It plays fairly well but doesn't qui
I don't know how I missed adding this game! One of the best DOS games ever? Probably! I have spent many hours playing this classic, and still go back to play it sometimes. If you have never played it ... get it now! With the release of Quake, iD Software
Powerslave (also known as "Exhumed") is a FPS built using the Build engine (an earlier version of the engine used to create Duke Nukem 3D). This demo version displays its distinct Egyptian theme and because it uses the Build engine it plays reasonably wel
Operation Body Count is a 3D shooting game built using a modified version of the Wolfenstein 3D engine. Unfortunately, the game does not offer much in the way of improvements over the basic Wolf3D formula, while at the same time lacking that certain indef
From the creator of Hugo's House of Horrors (see the adventure games page) comes this 3D shooter. It's technical level is about the same as Wolf3D, but it DOES include some cool new stuff. The campy pseudo-horror motif is well done, and generally it's fun
Line Wars was a popular "3D" shooting game that was released long before the advent of modern 3D gaming cards. While its gameplay is quite tame compared to today's standards, it can still be fun. Line Wars II updates the original adding new missions and m
Apparently created using Pie in the Sky's old 3D game creation software, Legal Tender is a good example of a 3D shooter that tries hard and has plenty of features, but unfortunately feels like a letdown in the "fun" department. The graphics are average, a
Sort of like Wolf3D, but more ... wacky. It was created by Ken Silverman (who later went on to design the "Build" engine used for Duke3D). Originally he released it on his own ... later it was purchased by Epic Megagames, although I liked the original bet
This is a 3D shooter you've probably never played before. It uses an engine similar to the one used by early 3D games like Wolfenstein 3D or Ken's Layrinth. It includes weird SB sound effects and some rather wacky graphics ... you'll have to download it a
The sequel to the popular Heretic game, Hexen takes the Heretic engine and adds some notable improvements, like weather effects, breakable environments, roleplaying elements and less linear gameplay. Instead of just playing through levels, you must ventur
Descent was quite popular on its release. It expanded on the 3D shooting genre by giving players a real 3D environment unlike Doom or Duke Nukem 3D. In this 7-level DEMO version of Descent you must pilot your spaceship through many 3D levels destroying va
Depth Dwellers is a relatively unknown early 3D shooting game that was probably the victim of bad timing: It was released only a few months after DOOM. The game engine developed by TriSoft is somewhere inbetween Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM in terms of feature
