BLAKE STONE: ALIENS OF GOLD and BLAKE STONE: PLANET STRIKE - Stuck in the Middle of DOOM

You may have heard of Doom clones but there was a small pocket of time between Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM's release where Wolfenstein clones should have existed and really didn't, except for the Blake Stone series. The first game Aliens of Gold released a week before Doom and was totally overwhelmed by that title's popularity. Its sequel Planet Strike in 1994 did little to change that. So take a gander and see if this series is best left to the recesses of time or whether you pull it out from the shadow of DOOM and try it for yourself!
