The Abyss - where can I find it?

I'm not sure if this is an apogee game, but I really want to find this old game. If anyone knows where I can find it, can they please reply. Thanks.

You mean the one with the green dragon like monsters in the sewers, and the big red guys they looked like they were melting when you killed them ? And the zombies ? I remember that game, I used to play those old games on my even older 80386SX. Even that A...D... game, part 1 called "Prince of Destiny" or something like that. Anyone remember that one ?

I remember Catacombs! I got it! I always wondered if that was the first fps ever made? I know of another game called abyss, a top down puzzle game, where you play a wizard or something, kinda like Bomberman. That it?

You thinking of Catacombs Abyss, perhaps? That's a Softdisk game. Was an EGA 3D game, predates Wolfenstein 3D, and was the first real 3D action game, not many people remember it.

Well, there were three games in that old EGA series. I forget what they're all called at the moment, but I'm pretty sure they're in the Apogee FAQ.

Actually, there were four! A teaser called Catacombs3, then Catacombs Abyss, Catacomb Apocalypse, and Catacomb Armageddon. I have them all. Check out auction on EBay.com, look in computer, games.
