Enter ''Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold''! JAM Productions used licensed ''Wolfenstein 3D'' technology to develop a brand-new game, which was published December 3, 1993 by BBS favorite Creator/ApogeeSoftware. Like ''Wolfenstein'', ''Aliens of Gold'' featured 6 episodes of 11 levels each (9 normal levels and 2 secret levels). The first episode was available as {{shareware}}. The registered version of ''Aliens of Gold'' shipped with a comic book, called a "Blake Stone Adventure"; to date it is the only title in the company's product line to include such a bonus.
The game had a few innovations for the genre like being able to talk to people instead of just shoot them, an automap system, one-way doors, slightly greater world interaction in the form of switches to deactivate barriers and using tokens at vending machines to restore health, the ability to revisit earlier levels, etc. It was entertaining for a while, but was only intended to fill the gap until ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' came out -- which happened a week later. Oops. Nonetheless, ''Aliens of Gold'' got a single-longer-episode sequel, ''Planet Strike'', released on October 28, 1994. Both games are available on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, bundled together with ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheTriad'' (the original, not the 2013 remake).

* SecretRoom: While this is standard for FPS games, especially in this era, these games take it to an absurd degree. Secret rooms are routinely nested three or more rooms deep into each other, and searching through them will usually yield an absurd amount of pickups, as well as having most or all of the available guns by the first floor of an episode in Aliens of Gold, or the first level in Planet Strike. In some cases, maps will have more secret areas than regular ones.
