What is Gloom?
Gloom is a 1995 Amiga first-person shooter by Black Magic Software, known for its fast action, gory combat and heavy hardware demands at the time. Later expanded into Gloom Deluxe / Ultimate Gloom, Gloom 3 and Zombie Massacre, the game has become a cult classic. ZGloom is a modern multi-platform re-implementation of the engine.
