I made a list of sprite-based shooters and it's still wild to me what a giant year-on-year leap it is from Catacomb 3-D to Wolfenstein 3D to Doom. It's like going from Mario 1 to Super Mario World in half the calendar time.
Nowadays we have singular games that are updated and played for a longer time on the calendar than it took to evolve the technology and gameplay for id Tech 1. That's bananas!
@KommaChameleon Chex Quest is a guilty pleasure, just for the absurdity of the whole thing, and the not-so-grunty-as-usual take on the FPS. Its soundtrack is permanently stuck in my brain.
@ElectricKeet To me, Chex Quest isn't a guilty pleasure, it's just a pleasure! The sequel level packs in particular have some impressive colorful vistas and a charming-if-not-witty sense of humor.
