looking for a game

guest · Post by **guest** » Thu May 31, 2007 3:31 pm

i am looking for a game. i thought it was called catacombs but the only ones i find are definately not it. you were supposed to dig through the walls and stuff to find different things. sorry for the vague description but it was about 15 years ago. any help would be great!

If you thought it was called catacombs could you maybe be talking about "The Catacomb Abyss?"

That's what I was thinking, but IIRC, you can't blow through walls in it... and I don't think you have to find different things... just the typical keys, ammo, and health.

Yea you can... there are quite a number of hidden areas you can and sometimes have to use your fireballs to destroy the wall to get to. And keys and jewels and all that... those could be considered different things :-P. I think I'm gonna have to go play it now :-P.

I think in the game you are looking for keys to open new levels or hidden areas maybe. I don't think it involved fighting monsters or stuff like that.

IT WORKS!!! Thank you so much. the only problem i have is that it is a small box on my screen instead of being screen size. Any way of fixing that or does it just have to be small?

Alt-Enter should switch between full screen and windowed modes. Glad you got it working!
