Since these badges exist, I assume you're not the only one with a rapidly growing backlog. I guess that could give some comfort. 🙂

Thank you for everything and all the best to you and your loved ones.

I once played through all episodes of Crystal Caves HD, so I can imagine that it's gonna be quite some work to program all mechanics from scratch. Nevertheless, I can tell from the updates that you're having a lot of fun with this project. Nice work so far!

This is the one episode from the first series that I remember the most. Sure, it’s dark comedy. But I think it also raises some awareness about a very dark part of human history.

The documentary making-of video on the coffin-shaped flash drive is also worth a watch, though.

Well, "Nemesis" does sound like a typical archenemy. Also, the Gamer's Edge disks had very limited distribution, so I guess few people would have noticed the swap.

The young Id Software team intended "Grelminar" to be the lich and "Nemesis" the guy-to-be-rescued. Later on in the retail release the names got swapped by Softdisk.

4/4

There are only a few differences between the Gamer's Edge version and the Catacomb 3-D retail version. The most obvious one is that the names of the final boss and the guy-to-be-rescued are swapped.

3/4

The Catacombs Pack from GOG contains the retail release of Catacomb 3-D, but the Catacomb 3-D Big Box ships with a different version. It's the initial v1.00 release, exactly as how it was created by Id Software in November 1991 for the Gamer's Edge disk magazine.

2/4

That episode is indeed very, very good.
My pick would be the pigeon trial in episode four.

Wow, I absolutely loved watching both Star Trek Voyager AND Blackadder when I was a teenager. Good memories!

It sure was!
