🌍️ Wikipedia:
Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold (also known as "Blake Stone 3-D") is a first-person shooter for DOS created by JAM Productions and published by Apogee Software in 1993. The following year, a sequel called Blake Stone: Planet Strike was released, which continues where Aliens of Gold leaves off. Some copies of the game provided a Command Control Gravis Gamepad.
Plot
The story is set in the year 2140. Robert Wills Stone III (a.k.a. Blake Stone) is an agent of the British Intelligence, recruited after a highly successful career in the British Royal Navy.
His first major case is to investigate and eliminate the threat of Dr. Pyrus Goldfire, a brilliant scientist in the field of genetics and biology, known for his outright disrespect of professional ethics. Backed by his own organisation, STAR, Dr. Goldfire plans to conquer Earth and enslave humanity using an army of specially trained human conscripts, modified alien species, and a host of genetically-engineered mutants. Agent Stone is sent on a mission to knock out six crucial STAR installations and destroy Goldfire's army before it can assault the Earth.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Aliens of Gold is very similar to Wolfenstein 3D. Playable areas are single-leveled, with orthogonal walls and textured floors and ceilings and have a wide variety of human, mutant and alien enemies — the latter two are sometimes dormant in canisters and on work tables — and frequent encounters and fights with Dr. Goldfire. Level features include locked doors that can be opened by four colors of access cards — gold, green, yellow and blue — plus red access cards to enter new floors; an auto-mapping system; food dispensers that exchange tokens for healing items; friendly interactive Informants who are distinguishable from the Bio-Techs by what they say and give information, ammunition and tokens; one-way doors; secret rooms accessible through pushable wall blocks; and teleporters that instantly take the player into another location within the level, or, in one instance, to one of the episode's secret levels. Five weapons are available, consisting of a silent pistol with infinite ammo, three hitscan guns and a grenade launcher type gun.
In every level the player can boost points for score by destroying all enemies, collecting all points and keeping all Informants alive, which increases the three respective statuses. Total Points is affected by both the enemies destroyed and the treasure collected. The all Informants alive bonus can only be obtained if all informants survive after the first two bonuses are obtained. Floor rating is affected by the other three statuses. Mission rating is affected by the overall statuses from floors 1 to 9. Killing Informants decreases both Floor and Mission Rating.
Level structure
The game consists of six episodes, each with 11 levels — nine regular and two secret. A main elevator goes through levels 1 through 10 and is the only means of moving between the levels. The goal of each level from 1 through 8 is to secure a red keycard and use it to unlock the next floor. The elimination of all enemies and the collection of all treasure on the current floor are optional objectives which provide bonuses upon completion. ("Plasma alien" enemies, which spawn repeatedly from electrical outlets, do not count towards the kill ratio.) Blake Stone can take the elevator back down to previous levels to find missed items or kill any remaining enemies.
On level 9 of each episode, defeating a stronger version of Dr. Goldfire forces him to drop a gold keycard. The key is used to unlock the way to the boss, which holds another gold keycard for the level's exit — the episode's end. Each episode features two secret levels. One of them, floor 0, can be accessed through a teleport hidden somewhere within the same episode. The other is floor 10, directly accessible through the main elevator. A red keycard is required to enter, and is usually hidden on floor 9. Secret levels do not have special objectives; their only purpose is to boost the player's score.
Development
Blake Stone uses the Wolfenstein 3D game engine. It's working title was "Secret Agent Game". Apogee programmer Mark Dochtermann, implemented the floor and ceiling textures. Complaints about getting lost in the original Wolfenstein 3D game, prompted the creation of an automap feature, which was a welcome addition to Blake Stone. Joe Siegler participated in play testing the game. The protagonist's name was thought up by Siegler Mike Maynard, taking some inspiration from James Bond. The maps were created using Tile Editor (TEd), which Apogee had previously used for Wolfenstein 3D. The game took about 18 months of development. The main antagonist was originally named Dr. Goldstern, but had to be changed to avoid a controversy labelling Jewish people as evil.

🌍️ Wikipedia :
Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold est un jeu vidéo de tir subjectif proche de Wolfenstein 3D développé par la société Apogee Software et sorti en 1993. Il utilise le même moteur de jeu avec quelques améliorations. C'est un jeu de science-fiction futuriste.
Ce jeu avait trois particularités qui le démarque de tous les autres jeu de tir subjectif (FPS) :
• tous les personnages ne sont pas "à tuer", certains donnent des informations sur le déroulement du jeu
• certains ennemis, les fantômes, ne peuvent être définitivement tués car ils se re-génèrent mais restent dans des zones précises
• une fois un niveau fini, on passe au suivant ... mais on peut revenir à chacun des niveaux finis
L'intérêt des deux dernières particularités est de permettre au jeu de ne pas avoir de score maximum. Une fois tous les ennemis (normaux) tués, tous les passages secrets trouvés, on peut revenir dans les niveaux précédents pour recharger les armes, reprendre de la vie et continuer à affronter des fantômes.
