BLOOD.iso-"full"version+plasmaPak+crypticPassages. written by Jason's crew at Monolith. bought by atari and retired to a dusty shelf. bastards. they won't sell me a copy or even answer inquiries if they are concerning blood. a sad,sad end to the best fps game ever written, the game that wolf led to, and the game which all other fps games are pale pigs ears in comparison. pure elegance in it's Build engine and very tightly woven. even the freeware version at 16mb is a wonder of programming and imagination. suspense, excitment, mental exercise, fustration, puzzles,even humor.- and blood enough to fill an ocean. wonderfully unique (especially in its day) weapons ranging from a pitchfork and dynamite to sorequest- mekind of zapping frying energy burst rifle. such preponderence, skill, ability, creativeness,and art-art in it's highest form. art because of the emotions the game induces and it's lingering aftereffects. but alas, i know not this game in it's fullness, only the shareware. Poor, poor Caleb. doomed to obscurity, sitting on an old dusty shelf at atari. But if some kind soul could and would post it, then caleb could live yet again. or at least on my computers. I cannot convey to you the extent to which i desire these files. I am so ...........lonesome(?)..for these files i oftimes cry myself to sleep and awake felling lost and scared and unreal. sometimes i cannot be comforted for days on end. i finally obtained internet service so that i could search the world over for even one kind soul that would post my hearts desire. if i had these files i would make dozens of backup copies and hide all over the farm and entrust to my closest friends each a copy or two to hold for me in case of fire, flood, invasion, or meteors from space, and never again would i feel such hopelessness and inadequacacy as is engendered form the state i am now in. woe is me. comfort me, comfort me, oh you posters. I have the freeware version (which is much more enjoyable than a blunt spam in the eye) which i could post for anyone who cares to request it, for i would have none my Lord's children bereft of at least that small 16mb comfort. also i have several user-made maps and episodes i could share- but they require the "full" version to acess them. also if I had the full version i could attempt an episode of my own creation-and that's what all this gaming really boils down to-creating. create an episode or create a high score or simply create an enjoyment for your soul through a satisfying round of whatever your favorite game happens to be. so if there is any (and i do mean ANY) thing anyone can do to help me, don't hesitate to just jump right in and post. humbly yours olddos
