By this point in time, you have probably heard most you ever wanted to know about Doom or Quake (not that there's ever enough).
So now, listen to @johnromero.bsky.social and @thattomhall.bsky.social talk about the fascinating history of #Catacomb3D

I really think you're nitpicking here - the creation of the word that names the genre doesn't precede the genre.

There were metroidvanias before that word was created to label them. Many Wolf3D/Catacomb3D and others before "FPS" was even a thing.

Not the same game, but this is a new addition to my computer room. #Catacomb3D

Finished #Catacomb3D

Thanks again @catacombgl.bsky.social for that source port! I'm going to check out the other Catacomb titles eventually.

Given the time it was made, #Catacomb3D is surprisingly versatile.
Not exactly deep, but the spirit of what would become #Wolfenstein3D and eventually #Doom shines through.

Yet, I'm also glad for the source port. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

Ah? I'll try, politely of course.

I found out that the Catacomb Games sells the Catacomb3D line and open sourced the code on Github, they had to have gotten the rights from an owner. I emailed them hoping for info.
