Story:Nitemare 3D (N3D) is a first-person shooter PC game with a horror theme, released by Gray Design Associates in 1994 for MS-DOS and Windows 3.1x platforms. It consisted of three episodes with ten levels in each episode, with the first episode being was released as shareware. The full release came on two 3½" floppy disks and was accompanied by a guide to the game's thirty levels. The graphics were similar to those used in Wolfenstein 3D or Ken's Labyrinth, with perpendicular walls and no textures on the floors or ceilings. The music in Nitemare 3D was composed by David B. Schultz (also composed for Quiver). Nitemare 3D follows the story of Hugo, from the Hugo trilogy, a series of graphic adventure PC games consisting of Hugo's House of Horrors, Hugo II, Whodunit?, and Hugo III, Jungle of Doom!. Penelope, Hugo's girlfriend, has been kidnapped by the evil Dr. Hamerstein for use in heinous experiments. Hugo must battle through Hamerstein's bizarre mansion, underground caverns complete with prisons and laboratories, and finally through a twisted alternate dimension of demons and aliens in an attempt to save her.Show more

I had this on a very old computer my family had growing up (RIP) but this was one of the games that was already installed on it. I have such fond memories playing it and I had no idea that it was a DOOM/Wolfenstein 3D clone until years later (funny enough I also didn't know about those games until years later either)

Um dos primeiros jogos que joguei em meu PC Intel Pentium MMX 133. Se não me falha a memória, algo por volta dos anos de 1998 ou 1999, ou seja, a mais de 25 anos atrás. Tenho uma grata lembrança deste jogo e gostaria de mostrar para o meu filho!

I grew up playing David Gray's Hugo series on those shareware compilation CDs. I remember getting to choose a free Shareware floppy with the purchase of my first 1GB hard drive at my local computer shop and I chose Nitemare 3D because I recognized Hugo and I really enjoyed Wolfenstein 3D. It's a perfect blend of Action & Adventure and one of the few examples of a family friendly FPS.
Growing up, my grandmother had a desktop computer that she would use to play games like Bejeweled, Zuma and Diner Dash. Finding ourselves unentertained by those options, my two older brothers and I discovered something we did not expect to find on Grandma's PC, Nitemare 3D. At the age of six, the game scared me. But since playing games like DOOM and Wolfenstein as a teenager, I'd like to return to the mansion that horrified my young mind.
I was quite young when my brothers and I happened upon this game. I didn't know what Doom or Wolfentstein was. Later, I though Wolfentstein copied Nitemare. A rip off of the cult classic Nitemare 3D. Of course, I was wrong, but this was probably the first game that freaked me out... and I couldn't stop playing it.
You can only get this game on the creator website. I think this is reason enough to put this gem elsewhere. Plus it’s part of the Hugo series, and the first 3 games are already on GOG.
