Does any of you know this fps game from the year 1991?

[Technicolor]

There are multiple weapons in the game, unlike Catacomb 3D.

 

Thoughts?

Did you even watch any of your supporting materials?

 

The only thing "GB" about it is the color palette.  0.1g is a version of the computer software, and it is made during a 7 day game jam... initial research shows it was developed in 2020.

I wrote in on Google and I even encountered a writting that was saying November 1991 as a release date.  Now I don't see that writting. Very strange.

 

I thought it was from 1991.

The release date is given in the first sentence of the video description:

HellHunt GB: 1991 is an action and first-person shooter indie game created by T19Games and released on December 13 of this year.

 

Come on, man.

Unlike the Game Boy though, you can actually play it in less than direct sunlight at high noon.

Not trying to knock you, but there's plenty of very obvious things that point to it not being on Game Boy. Namely...

• The information already provided.
• The fact it has textures, period.
• The fact there is clearly mouselook.
• The fact it is running with any sort of good framerate at all.
• The fact it is high-definition.
• The fact it is widescreen.

It's obviously meant to evoke the feel of the era, but it's far from that.

 

If you'd like to see how an ACTUAL 1991 FPS on the Game Boy ran, just look here.

 

As you'll see, it's pretty much night and day.

Catacomb 3D (1991) is more advanced than what you posted from the same year.

 

See Catacomb 3D.

Yes, but that was a PC game, not a Game Boy one.

 

Obviously a PC is going to be able to do more than a handheld made in the late 80s using mostly computer chips that were developed in the early-mid 80s.

There are too many things that show this as not being a real Game Boy game and in any case, no one was making FPSs in 1991, lol!!

See "Catacomb 3D". It was released in 1991.

This is reminding me of Project Warlock 1. Which Project Warlock 1 was such a great retro fps shooter for 1994 on the apple 2 computer

The Game Boy was a handheld game system released in 1989, the thing was a brick, could only display green but from what I hear (Too young to own one), they were great, especially for the time.

You've posted cringe.

 

Learn how FPS engines from 1990 work. Learn what is the Ray Traycing. Learn what is the BSP. Understand why Mouse Aiming (Mouse Look) is presented in games after 1994 (after Doom 2) and why Doom doors are moving only "up down" without "left right" like Wolfenstein 3D (and wise versa, actually).

 

Actually, you just need to learn at least, how "id tech 1" works. And you'll understand by yourself why the video you've posted is "fake" and can't be recorded from actual 1991 game.

Have you heard of Catacomb 3D (1991)?

 

It has earlier version of Wolf 3D Engine.

 

Edit:

 

Mouse look can also be added to a game later but there is no point since everything is at the same height in the game.

Have you sat down and watched or played Catacomb 3D (1991)? You don't have to know anything about how the engine works to realize that the first video you posted could never have been a product of the same era.

See Catacomb 3D.

Faceball 2000 is older than 1991, that’s just the year it was released on Game Boy.  It was originally released in 1987 as MIDI Maze. It predates Doom as far as multiplayer deathmatch is concerned. 
 

The Game Boy version can technically support up to 16 players, but because Nintendo did not allow for the release of the special connector to do so, it was never possible to do it for the consumer market.

I watched Catacomb 3D.

 

Both games are far too simpler than Doom that came 2 years later.

You would, however, have to apply critical thinking, which is more than I can say about any of Technicolor's posts.

Here some free advice bud: Do research before coming here and posting stuff. 

[CFWMagic]

Oofers. I kinda feel bad for Tech, getting tag-team nuked ... Then again, deserved. Sorry, @Technicolor, gotta take the L this time around.

Anyway, on topic: This game kind of reminds me of Ecks vs Sever. Except, you know, as stated before, it's on PC and was released recently. That was on Game Boy Advance. At the time, it was one of my favorite games in fact. This game was the first thing I thought of when I saw the OP.

@Technicolor---What do you suppose the 'GB' in 'Hellhunt: GB' stands for? Again, from the video description:  

 

Quote

HellHunt GB: 1991 is an action and first-person shooter indie game created by T19Games and released on December 13 of this year. The game works as a kind of "prequel" to Hell Hunt game and, as the last game works as a homage to FPS games of the 90s, like Quake, for example, the prequel was created with a style and visually similar to GameBoy games, with green screen and everything. In this prequel, you are the very same Demon Hunter from the original game, with goes to Hell but, on the contrary of the original game, as you seek revenge, here in 1991 you seek your Dual Katanas, used on the original game.

 

It pays to read video descriptions sometimes.

Duke Nukem 1 also came in 1991. It is nothing like Catacomb 3D.

I like how you are totally not addressing dasho's point here.

 

Heck, you aren't really addressing any feedback thus far. Makes you sound dense.

 

I have heard about Catacomb 3D (1991). It came before Doom, so no need to remind me (or anybody else).

 

Have you heard about the Game Boy?

One of the most recognizable pieces of gaming equipment in the world but you haven't heard of it.

 

If it were a Swatch it would be believable.

I checked its pictures on google to see what kind of a thing it is after hearing it on forum.

People have heard more about a Game Boy than of Catacomb 3D, if we are going to make baseless ad populum arguments.

 

I mean i could point to GB sales to gain merit, but that's not the point.

 

I have heard about 1991 and Catacomb 3D.

I was also a baby in 1991.

 

I learnt Catacomb 3D watching a Fps history video on Youtube.

 

Oldest fps game I played was Wolf 3D.

 

Most of people haven't heard of Doom (1993) either. Since this forum is dedicated to Doom, Doom players are here and every one of us knows.

 

Half Life and Counter Strike were very popular fps games from 90s here.
