Hmm.. I must try that out. Yep, those games are just not the same
without sound...

My favorite is still Wolf3d although I liked Blake Stone, the whole
Duke nukem series especially Duke Nukem 3D, Keen, Raptor is awsome!,
Rise of the Triad, Wacky Wheels. Those games just rock and I'm sure
there are many more that have slipped my mind.

I saw on one of the Linux distros (I forget which one now) they
had Wolf3D available. I am still looking for a way to get Wolf3D
running on my linux (debian). If I can do that I'll get any of the
above going here and continue with any/all of the above!

I still have the CD to but I've not used it in a while, maybe because
of the sound not working? If I could get Duke3D running on debian I'd
be in seventh heaven.. :)

Indeed, memories of those apogee games are alive and well (and still
looking for ways to get them going again for another round of ?? :)
