Schultz (also composed for Quiver).

I had this on a very old computer my family had growing up (RIP) but this was one of the games that was already installed on it. I have such fond memories playing it and I had no idea that it was a DOOM/Wolfenstein 3D clone until years later (funny enough I also didn't know about those games until years later either)

Um dos primeiros jogos que joguei em meu PC Intel Pentium MMX 133. Se não me falha a memória, algo por volta dos anos de 1998 ou 1999, ou seja, a mais de 25 anos atrás. Tenho uma grata lembrança deste jogo e gostaria de mostrar para o meu filho!

I grew up playing David Gray's Hugo series on those shareware compilation CDs. I remember getting to choose a free Shareware floppy with the purchase of my first 1GB hard drive at my local computer shop and I chose Nitemare 3D because I recognized Hugo and I really enjoyed Wolfenstein 3D. It's a perfect blend of Action & Adventure and one of the few examples of a family friendly FPS.
Growing up, my grandmother had a desktop computer that she would use to play games like Bejeweled, Zuma and Diner Dash. Finding ourselves unentertained by those options, my two older brothers and I discovered something we did not expect to find on Grandma's PC, Nitemare 3D. At the age of six, the game scared me. But since playing games like DOOM and Wolfenstein as a teenager, I'd like to return to the mansion that horrified my young mind.
I was quite young when my brothers and I happened upon this game. I didn't know what Doom or Wolfentstein was. Later, I though Wolfentstein copied Nitemare. A rip off of the cult classic Nitemare 3D. Of course, I was wrong, but this was probably the first game that freaked me out... and I couldn't stop playing it.
You can only get this game on the creator website. I think this is reason enough to put this gem elsewhere. Plus it’s part of the Hugo series, and the first 3 games are already on GOG.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Mercenaries: Playground of DestructionDuring the last years of his reign, the North Korean president Choi Kim attempted a reconciliation with the country's southern neighbor, with the ultimate goal of reunification. However, his son, General Choi Song, and the military clique under his leadership, strongly disagreed with the old man's views. Eventually, Choi Song orchestrated his own father's assassination, took control of North Korea, and severed ties with the outside world. Eventually, plans of a nuclear reactor construction began to surface. China, South Korea, the Allied Nations and even the Russian Mafia sent troops to North Korea, competing for power in the troubled region. A bounty of a hundred million dollars for General Song was declared. This is where the mercenaries enter the playfield. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is a free-roaming war action and driving game with open-ended gameplay in a large world. The player can choose to control any of the three mercenary protagonists, each with their own strengths: North American Chris Jacobs can sustain higher damage; Jennifer Mui from Hong-Kong is proficient in stealth; Mattias Nilsson from Sweden can run faster than the others. Each of the mercenary also speaks different languages, which makes him or her more or less suitable for work with particular factions. Players have free reign of a massive landscape to take bounties on the "Deck of 52", a list of most wanted criminals in North Korea, as well as a number of factions. Four factions have moved in to take advantage of the coup for personal gains; each faction will offer the player resources such as vehicles and supplies, as well as missions that the player can use to make money off of. If the player makes a faction happy, they will offer intel on the locations of various bounties from the deck. Players have a vast array of resources available to them to get the job done. It is possible to commandeer tanks, choppers and and any other military hardware to blow up the game's destructible landscape across the North Korean countryside. Helping out various factions provides access to numerous vehicle drops, supply drops, and air strikes.

Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Computer Game
Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Computer GameYou control Mr. D.P Gumby and, understandably, you have to get back his 4 pieces of brain. This is not easy. If it was, this game would not be a game of skill and fun, now would it? There are four skill levels to this game, a piece of brain is being held on each skill and fun level. The levels are all quite different in a skill and fun sort of way, but all have different things in common. Good things like sausages, eggs, beans, spam (skill) and cheese (fun) and bad things like dead parrots. Because each level is quite different in a skill and fun sort of way, Mr. Gumby cannot always walk, so, his body is changed to suit the surroundings. Like on the first level, where he is changed into a fish to swim in the maze like underwater caverns. When each level runs out there is no more, Mr. Gumby is changed back to normal (well normal for him) and he is sick, all the good things picked up along the way go in a big hole and are counted for points. Best of all though if you got 16 lots of spam Mr. Gumby can have a piece of his brain back. Then you have to do it all again.
