Catacomb Abyss

This article is for the original shareware game, for the fan made ZDoom recreation see Catacomb: ABYSS

Catacomb Abyss was the sequel to Catacomb 3-D and the first of the Catacomb Adventure Series, and featured the same main character in a new adventure: since his defeat, some of Nemesis' minions have built a mausoleum in his honour. Fearful of the dark mage's return, the townspeople hire Petton Everhail to descend below and end the evil. The environments are more varied than in Catacomb 3D, featuring crypts, gardens, mines, aqueducts, volcanic regions and various other locales. It was the only game in the series that was released as shareware, released by Softdisk in 1992.

Reception
Computer Gaming World in May 1993 called The Catacomb Abyss "very enjoyable" despite the "minimal" EGA graphics and sound.

Apple IIGS Port
A port to the Apple IIGS was worked on by Rebecca "Burger" Heiniman, but was never released. It is largely faithful, but with slightly diminished graphics.
