Blake Stone is seriously underrated and probably the best game to use the Wolf3D engine in its original pre-ROT form (what do we call that these days btw? IDtech0? IDtech1?). All those added touches do so much to make it feel immersive, and unlike a lot of Apogee titles it keeps throwing new things at you all the way through the 66 levels rather than giving us the best bits all in the Shareware episode. Things like Blake really underline how badly Capstone buggered up their use of the Wolfenstein engine because frankly there's plenty that can be done with it.

If I’m not mistaken, the silent pistol does extra damage to unaware enemies, meaning you can sneak up and oneshot a few basic guards without alerting enemies. Basic protostealth mechanics as well! Too bad there are precious few occasions to do this

Hey, Civvie! I just wanted to say that all of the stuff you make is genuinely some of the most enjoyable content online I've found, and that if you ever start feeling burnt out from making these so quickly, then don't worry about us if you wanna take a break! Sometimes I get the feeling that your fans really get on your nerves about making videos on things ASAP, but I don't want you to end up hating everything you do, so if you can, make sure to take it easy from time to time!

Have to hand it to Civvie, that James Bond homage is just top-tier stylish.

I always wondered if we'd get a good Blake Stone video from Civvie. Another old favorite from my dos era childhood. Shame it was killed off by Doom. It really had potential.

I liked the video so I'm allowed to say I'm pumped for the Boltgun video

I'm thinking that 4 damage per frame made a lot more sense when the game was running at 5 FPS.
