Hello, The "invention" of rocket launchers in 3D-games is definetly awesome. I was just wondering what awesome game was the first game to introduce it... It was either wolfenstein 3D or Doom... I think ?!? I am not sure... (Later versions of wolfenstein had a rocket launcher)... So which one was it... was it wolfenstein or was it doom ? ;) Bye, Skybuck =D

The bosses in Wolf3D have RLs but you don't. Not exactly a RL but there is also HoverTank3D. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7juV9zo5Tk

I think ?!? Doom I think. I am not aware of an earlier game with rocket launcher (but there might have been) Wolfenstein had knife,pistol,machine gun,chain gun. Only Wolfenstein bosses had a rocket launcher, not the player. S

So am I, but yeah... =) Rise of the Triad came much later than Doom ! ;) And yes Rise of the Triad was a cool game... it had drunken missile too... which was probably the coolest thing about the game... and I think also the magic (?) or special abilities ? ;) :) Bye, Skybuck.

Yeah... I probably used the no clip technique as well LOL. This guy tries the RL approach and then does the NO CLIP lol: Then it goes back to the first level, he's like WTF ?! I would have been "WTF" as well lol... Then you might think... "maybe it's because of the cheat" But then the hell breaks loose: (That's one nasty big motherfucker he's fighting there :)) (Graphics ain't to great (low settings? port ?) but it gives a nice impression ;) :)) http://www.mefeedia.com/watch/28642839 Bye, Skybuck ;) :)

Ahh you are right. For some reason I thought Rise of the Triad was released sooner. I don't remember much from back then. I do remember downloading the shareware wolf 3d from the bulletin boards, pretzel logic I think. Man you guys have some good mamories...erm memories.

And the other demo is ZDoom. Will it work in vanilla Doom? And, is this designed to use the rocket launcher? Did John Romero think of it?

We found out early on that it was possible to flip the switch from outside, so Sandy made the walls thicker. The advanced techniques of strafe-running, et al, did not come about for almost a year after DOOM's release so there was no way we could anticipate someone getting into the secret area any other way. Much like the way we never anticipated Quake's rocket-jumping."
