Its a fine collection of three of Apogee's best FPSs from back in the day

April 2024

I remember these games fondly from my younger days and these still hold up today. Blake Stone and the sequel are great and very reminiscent of a futuristic Wolfenstein 3-D / Doom. Rise of the Triad I loved the digitized sprites and the gore. A must have for every retro collector that loves FPS games like Hexen, Heretic, Doom etc.

Good ol Games ON STEAM :) Yes, this one is a classic. Recommended when it goes on sale! Sometimes running them in a vintage DOSbox X works best IMO!

I like it for the old Blake Stone games. Not sure about Rise of the Triad, the controls seem a bit weird and my screen blacks out sometimes.

Dec. 2023

I remember when Apogee was the company for making great games for MS-DOS. Originally teamed with ID Software, they decided to move on and make their own games. This set includes 4 games to play... 1.) Rise Of The Triad - Dark War 2.) Extreme Rise Of The Triad 3.) Blake Stone - Aliens Of Gold 4.) Blake Stone - Planet Strike Technically, it's just 2 games with 2 different add-ons. Blake Stone is a Wolfenstein 3D clone, only with different weapons, different maps, different voices, and actual missions. The idea here is to shoot the bad guys while trying not to shoot the scientists. Keeping scientists alive is the key to a good score. You can also visit different levels and even revisit older levels for a completely new game experience than Wolfenstein 3D. With map mode, you can also find the secret rooms. This game is in 2 parts due to the story line as well as the evil boss who is not who he says he is. Rise Of The Triad is a more detailed Wolfenstein 3D game with a lot more weapons, bigger levels, and now maps have a much bigger height/ceiling. At the time, this was an extremely bloody game. Once in a while, when you killed a soldier with a bazooka, they would explode with guts flying everywhere and sometimes you would see an eyeball or blood splatter scroll down the screen. Plus, after a while, the blood that was launched in the air would come down as drops of rain. This game offers multiple kinds of play, including multiplayer levels and secrets that are only known to those who knew about Apogee and the games they made. Such secrets include... 1.) Scott's Mystical Head 2.) The Dopefish 3.) Holiday settings based on a particular holiday (Example, set your PC's date to Christmas for a surprise) And many more surprises await you. If you ever wanted to play a classical FPS game, this is the game to get. You get 4 games in one for a great price of $9.99. (Technically 2, but with their 2nd part included). Just a side note, back when these games came out, you had to pay the following... 1.) Rise Of The Triad on floppy was $29.95 2.) Rise Of The Triad on CD was $34.95 3.) Rise Of The Triad site license CD was $89.95 1.) Blake Stone - Aliens Of Gold on floppy was $59.95 + $5 Shipping for full game plus extra info 2.) The price was seriously reduced due to terrible sales and because Doom came out So in the end, you would have ended up paying close to $100. But now you can get all these games for just under $10. If you love classical games and love first person shooters or Wolfenstein 3D clones, you will love these games.
