* RemixedLevel: Karnak is a remix of the Karnak demo level. The map was changed over to night time, and enemies were increased due to the player being used to multiple levels in a row along with having all weapons from the start of the level.

Originally a TechDemoGame created to promote the [[UsefulNotes/GameEngine Serious Engine]], the game was praised for being a well-made throwback to old-school shooters where the emphasis is on massacring enemy hordes instead of dueling small, smart squads. [[TheWarSequence And when we say hordes, we mean hordes]], especially in those nice open expanses where you truly get to appreciate how much opposition Sam's up against - and, consequently, how much of a badass he is.

The game had releases for UsefulNotes/PalmOS (developed by [=InterActive Vision=] and released by Global Star Software on November 12, 2001) as well as a Croteam-developed version for UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} published by Gotham Games on November 12, 2002. In November 2009, Croteam released an [[VideoGameRemake HD remake]] called ''Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter''. It features enhanced graphics, ragdoll physics, and various minor tweaks, but the gameplay is otherwise unchanged. Around the same time, the original was also released on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} as ''Serious Sam Classic: The First Encounter'', given as a bonus for getting the HD remake's "Gold Edition". In 2017 the game was remade for UsefulNotes/VirtualReality as ''Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter''; the game itself being based on the ''HD'' release.
