Not Doom, is this any good?

Is there a reason why Powerslave on PC is completely different than the console versions? Is it because of the engine differences between Build and Slavedriver?

I was talking with a few friends this evening and we were trying to think of the 3 best (in our opinions) first person shooters and we started looking up older games on systems that probably went unlooked, I ended up finding powerslave and thought wait a minute that engine, and started to get very curious about how to play it, so with some googling I found that the doods at Lobotomy Software had made a enhanced version of the Msdos game and lets you play right away on win7 and thought it'd be cool to give it to good ol /vr/ so I could actually contribute for once.

all you have to do is extract the anubis patch from the powerslave_ex_patch_1_0_1 folder into the powerslave_ex_public_beta_1_0_0/powerslave_ex folder and yer good to go.

I hadn't seen it recommended yet on /vr/ and wanted to say it reminds me a lot of what Metroid Prime in an Egyptian setting. Seems cool so far.

Holy shit fuck this game. Why did they make the game so fun and then ruin it by having this fucking bullshit. Having to start a level all over again just because I didn't make a jump is so fucking infuriating.

Of course I forgot the image like a big dumb faggot.

What is the best version of PowerSlave, first time player

Wich version is better and why?

Also Powerslave General

How about a build engine game set in ancient Egypt and named after an Iron Maiden track?
