Giddy giddy giddy giddy giddy.....

I saw it, I "played" it, I did it!!

ID's own Jay Wilbur and I had a few rendezvous' at CES and I'm
thrilled to say that I had my first hands-on with Doom! and it was
thrilling! For those of you who enjoyed Wolf/Spear (who didn't!?) and
those who like a solid action game with great graphics, Doom WILL BLOW
YOU AWAY, I PROMISE!! This game has graphics and animation the likes
of which makes Wolf/Spear look like Pong... Sorry, I'm falling over
myself, but it's that good, and I only saw just a bit.

{calming down...}

{getting off the floor}

{brushing off suit...}

O.K.

Anyway, this game will really set the industry on its ear in the
action category. I have no doubts whatsoever that it will be
nominated once again in the action/arcade category and likely sew it
up early. The animated monsters are cool, the 'non-90-degree' halls
are boggling, the texture-mapping is very mood-setting, and the
weapons are terrific.

Sorry, but I can't be objective about this one. It's got me too
excited. Stay tune for this summer....

More details later, and a preview of it likely to appear in Game Bytes
in April/May.

Ok, How about "Stay tuned for this Vernal Equinox...."

But seriously, How about it Jay (Wilber) will there be a demo out on
this game? Do I get a special deal (I'm a registered wold3d owner).
I Never got anything in the mail about any deal on Spear Though you
said that there would be a deal availible to the registered ones.
Lastly (for Jay), Is wolf1.4 a patch or just an upgraded demo?

The first episode of the game IS a demo of the whole package. Will we
have a teaser demo? Unknown at theis time...I doubt it.

Deal for Wolf3d users: There will be a deal for ALL users. DOOM is
shheculed to be CHEAPER than WOLF3D (episodes 1-6).

Wolf14: It's not a patch. If your are currently seeing bugs in your
registered games you'll need to call Apogee @ 1-800-GAME123 or
214-278-5655 to get the new version.

We decided not to do a patch because of all the different, versions of
WOLF running around.

Are we -registered- users of Wolf3D going to get info on this
in the mail, or are we going to hear about it when and if
we pick up a magazine? I'd like to know more about this new game.

In order to keep our overhead down we will probably not do any direct mail
stuff right off the bat. If you would like to know more about the game
I'll re-post the information.

Russell, I should learn. I'm on the phone to Aussies from Perth every
third day. I should KNOW this by now; they keep reminding me!
