    An old favourite

    This was one of my favourite games back at the time of its release.

    In essence it was a fantasy version of DOOM, a first-person perspective shooter. The weapons were even similar in format, the basic wand acted the same as the pistol, the crossbow was the same as the shotgun etc.

    The storyline was good and the level design was great. I played it through from start to finish several times and it was always a blast.

    There was even a hidden chicken mode, in that you could turn all the monsters into chickens and then squish them easily. You could even turn yourself into a chicken! The monsters were good, following a demonic theme similar to doom, on the whole.

    A great old classic on the PC.
