    3D Doom-clones

    Since the middle of the 90's quite a few Doom-clones was released for the Amiga. I remember playing several of them, like Breathless, Gloom and Fears. Have you played any of the Doom-clones for the Amiga? If yes, how did you like them when these games was first released? Any particular favourites?

    The Alien Breed 3D games were probably my favourites. Breathless was also really good, and also the actual port of Doom. I was luck to have the PC original of Doom at the time so had the wad file to play the full version on the Amiga.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    I agree that the Alien Breed 3D series was enjoyable to play. The developers managed to create quite a spooky atmosphere, which fitted with the overall Alien Breed concept. Personally I enjoyed Alien Breed 3D, the first version, the most. Even if the graphics was a bit blocky, it had good gameplay. Breathless was breathtaking when it came to graphics. I remember playing it on a 030 and running in 1x1 - it looked better than Doom!

    Heretic and Hexen were also ported over.
    A touch sluggish on an 030 but great using the 060.
    Doom ran well on an 030.
    Both top games.
    Genetic Species was similar in style to AB3DII, very good.
    The two player option in the Gloom series was good.

    Liked all the Doom clones I played.
    Have never played Breathless, but have aquired it recently.
    Will have to give it a go.

    I've never tried Heretic or Hexen on the Amiga, but I remember the port of Doom running fast on a 030.

    Hope you will like Breathless. It is a graphically nice game. You can even look up and down, which was not possible in Doom at that time.

    Oh, it would be great to be able to play Genetic Species on an Amiga powered by a 060. I'm sure it looks very, very nice. This game was btw developed by the former democrew Ambrosia from Denmark. They have released many good productions featuring fast 3D engines.

    My Favorite Doom Clone was Nemac IV and Genetic Species and Alien Breed 3D.
