Save big on Bombshell - the latest game from Interceptor and 3D Realms

Bombshell, the first new game from 3D Realms in a decade has gone gold!

25 years ago, a legend was born, and one game that Nintendo didn't have any interest in was a catalyst in the success of two videogame companies. These are 3D Realms (then known as Apogee), and id Software.

A little over 14 years ago, the original Max Payne was unleashed on the public by 3D Realms & Remedy Entertainment. It was a big new step for both companies, ad they had collaborated earlier on a top down racing game called Death Rally in the 90's. A lot of time and effort went into the Max Payne series, and to look at some of it, we're bringing you this look back at the making of Max Payne. This feature lifts the lid on the development of the all action classic which includes testimony from 3D Realms co-founder Scott Miller and former Remedy employee Peter Hajba on the all action classic, including often untold information about the large contribution 3D Realms made to the game.
