# CatacombGL

This is the port of CatacombGL to AmigaOS 4.

CatacombGL is a source port of Catacomb 3D and the Catacomb Adventure
series. These games were originally developed for MS-DOS. 
Catacomb 3D: The Descent was developed by Id Software in 1991. The 
Catacomb Adventure series was developed by Softdisk Publishing in 
1992-1993 and consists of The Catacomb Abyss, The Catacomb Armageddon 
and The Catacomb Apocalypse. The original games visualized their 3D graphics 
in 16 colours and a 320x200 pixels view window. The main goal of the 
CatacombGL source port is to utilize OpenGL to improve the visual 
presentation of the Catacomb 3D games.

This port was tested on an X5000 with a Radeon RX graphics card and
on my microA1 which was running at 28-30fps in the window mode.

I would like to listen how this works on your system. I hope you will 
enjoy it and have fun.

### Installation

CatacombGL does not run standalone, but requires the original game data 
(levels, pictures, sounds, etc) to be present on the system. The Catacomb 
Abyss game data can be obtained legitimately and free-of-charge by downloading
the 1.13 shareware version. Various websites offer the shareware version for 
download, see for example https://archive.org/details/TheCatacombAbyss. 
Alternatively, the game data can also be obtained by buying the Catacombs Pack
from gog.com, see https://www.gog.com/game/catacombs_pack. 

The differences between the shareware and commercial versions are purely 
cosmetic. The Catacombs Pack is required to run Catacomb 3D (The Descent), 
The Catacomb Armageddon or The Catacomb Apocalypse. 

The CatacombGL folder can be installed in any location. When started, a 
selection screen with an overview of all the supported games is shown. 
In case the Catacombs Pack was installed via the GOG installer (Windows), 
the game data will be auto-detected. Otherwise, it is possible to manually 
browse to the folder which contains either the Catacombs Pack or the 
shareware version.
