Does anyone remember the Catacomb series?  Yeah, I know, it's kind of old, but
it's part of Doom's heritage, and hence part of Quake's heritage as well.
Anyway, for old time's sake I played though Catacomb Abyss a week ago.  One
thing that I noticed is that it feels very *satisfying* having demon-killing
fileballs coming out of your hands.  Plasma rifles are okay, and shotguns used
at close range are also close, but I jsut felt that none of the Doom weapons
gave that same ultra-cool effect as the magic missiles of Catacomb.

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I might just play Commander Keen 1 for a while
;)
