Go ahead, ask me what headline I never ever thought I'd read. It's this one. I can't believe this game is being resurrected. This just made my day.

Apogee was back for a long time. They were called 3D Realms.

I remember the game vividly because it made me feel bad about killing people. I'm fine with all the shooting and violence, but I felt really bad on the rare occasion where you'd shoot someone a few times and they'd start begging for their life.

:(

Also the box art used to give me a boner.
