Untitled[edit]

It appears it's an entire series. I checked the credits of The Catacomb Abyss and it says

and also "copyright 1992 Softdisk, Inc."

After checking with http://www.classicgaming.com/catacomb/ and http://www.mobygames.com/game_group/sheet/gameGroupId,360/ it appears there are several games in the series.

Catacomb - 2D view from above, by John Carmack. 1989-1990
Catacomb II - sequel to Catacomb with the same engine.
Catacomb 3d: A new dimension - 3D in 16 colour EGA
Catacomb 3d: The Descent - same as above, but changed title screen and Nemesis is called Gremlinar instead.
Catacomb Abyss - the first game in the Catacomb Fantasy Trilogy and the only in the trillogy released as shareware
Catacomb Armageddon (re-released as Curse of the Catacombs) - sequel
Catacomb Apocalypse (re-released as Terror of the Catacombs) - another sequel, now also with science fiction elements
Catacomb Resurrection - an unrelated remake that never was finished.

Seems to be quite a lot of screenshots on this page. I think it could be trimmed down to 1-2 images. sik0fewl 02:50, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Wow yeah. I removed about half of them and there are still more of them than there is text. :) --Mrwojo 01:24, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Jerry Jones[edit]

The Jerry Jones links end up going to an entry for the guy who owns the Dallas Cowboys football team, but that's a different Jerry Jones from the one who worked for Softdisk and was involved in the Catacomb series game art. If an entry is desirable for this Jerry Jones, then a disambiguation is needed; otherwise, the name shouldn't be linked. Dtobias 17:54, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Agreed, rather no link than a wrong link. I changed the link to Jerry Jones (artist) which I think is the appropriate DAB word. Retodon8 16:57, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article/game title[edit]

This whole series' naming is pretty confusing, but shouldn't the article be called Catacomb 3-D with a dash? Both the Infobox screenshot and MobyGames's article on the game (also check the page on the whole series) seem to indicate that. Retodon8 16:57, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wolf3D originaly was also written with a dash, but nobody does that anymore these days. I think the title should be Catacomb series, just like Commander Keen series and Kroz series.Calvero2 23:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it should be about the entire series, possibly titled as "Catacomb (series)". 72.45.107.156 (talk) 04:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CGA graphics[edit]

The shareware version of Catacomb Abyss only ran in 320x200 4 color CGA mode. Did the full versions support CGA or did they require EGA? Would they run on a Tandy 1000 (or compatible systems such as a PCjr with a simple hardware hack) with its 320x200 16 color mode? That mode was functionally identical to low-res EGA but to use it, software had to be written (or patched) to use a different memory location. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 11:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Cat arma.png[edit]

Image:Cat arma.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
