Monolith Blood Collection (Windows 7 Ready) Release date: 2010/02/01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game Info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Blood" is a horror science-fiction first-person shooter video game developed by 3D Realms and Monolith Productions and distributed by GT Interactive. The game contains excessive graphic violence and a crude style of humour. Year is 1928, you start as Caleb, a gun-slinger from western Texas born in in 1847. He was one of the four supreme commanders (Chosen) of a cult called the Cabal, worshippers of the forgotten god Tchernobog. After all four of the Chosen were betrayed and killed by Tchernobog, Cabal raises back from dead seeking vengeance. Armed with a pitchfork, you begin your way from a hollow grave... It was released on May 31, 1997. "Blood: Cryptic Passage" is the first expansion for Blood. It was published by Sunstorm Interactive and is the only officially authorized commercially available ten-level add-on episode for Blood that was not made by Monolith. Having heard news of an ancient scroll, Caleb sets out to retrieve it for his own dark needs. He arrives on the Boat Docks, which later open onto a large cave, a cabin and a lighthouse; structures overrun by the Cabal. It was released on June 30, 1997. "Blood: Plasma Pak" is the second expansion for Blood. It adds a new episode, new enemies and numerous bug fixes. The new creatures include two new Cabal loyalist types, Crysalid pods, the miniature Calebs and a new boss. There are no additions to Caleb's arsenal, however several innovations are introduced; the Tesla cannon can now be wielded akimbo, while the Napalm cannon and the life leech have new secondary attacks. The story is based on Caleb learning that the Cabal is training replacements for the fallen Chosen. He sets out to stop the cult's plans. It was released on September 01, 1997. "Blood II: The Chosen" is a sequel to Blood. Unlike the first installment, which was set in 1928, Blood II takes place in the year 2028, so in addition to conventional weapons and magical items also incorporates science-fictional technology. After killing Tchernobog, Caleb has spent the last century searching for a way to resurrect his comrades. In the meantime, Cabal has turned the cult into a global mega-corporation called CabalCo, which uses its economic influence to control the world's populace. This is all thanks to Gideon, the Cabal's current leader who has been raised to restore Tchernobog and destroy Caleb, who is now called the Great Betrayer. It was released on October 31, 1998. "Blood II: The Nightmare Levels" is an expansion for Blood II. It provides background information on Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriella, narrarated by a deceased Gideon. As the Chosen continue to walk home to their world from the invading reality, by telling scary stories they attract a beast known as the Nightmare that captures Caleb. The player then has to relive some of the most horrific moments of the Chosen's lives - Caleb fighting the Cabal in the frozen north, the Cabal attack on Ophelia's sorority which led her to join, Ishmael's escape from his life as a circus freak into the Cabal, and Gabriella's spooky night in a haunted mansion. It was released on August 01, 1999. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blood was one of my favorite games during the time of my youth. Recently I recalled of this game and wanted to play it again. Since Blood was made back in 1997 for good old DOS, it won't work on newer GUI operating systems like Windows XP and Windows 7 that easily. If your operating system is 64-bit, then you won't even be able to install it since installer, and the game itself, are 16-bit applications, and Microsoft dropped support for 16-bit applications in 64-bit operating systems. After I've done some adjustments and finally managed to make it work, I decided to share it with others as I believe there are people who might want to try it out, or play it once again. I've packed the games in two self-extracting archives. These are all the games form Blood series. Blood archive was made from installed game of One Unit Whole Blood, which is the latest official release of this game. The only thing I removed are the intro videos, but everything else including ingame cutscenes have been left intact. All you have to do is extract the archives to some folder and run batch files to create the shortcuts on your desktop. You might want to play with video resolution of Blood, but I don't recommend it unless you know what you are doing. Files you might want to look at are dosbox.conf and blood.cfg. As for Blood II, run any of the shortcuts, set up display and advanced settings to your likeness and play. Both Blood and Blood II support widescreen resolutions! Actually, default resolution of Blood is in widescreen format. I can't assure you everything will work fine because these are very old games, but at least I made it easier for you to solve the errors if you encounter any. Have fun! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blood and its expansions: - Run Blood.SFX-Eqa5cro.exe and extract the game to some folder (e.g. C:\Games\Blood). - Go to the game folder and run _setup.bat to create shortcuts on your desktop. - Play Blood by running one of the shortcuts you just created. Blood II and its expansions: - Run Blood.2.SFX-Eqa5cro.exe and extract the game to some folder (e.g. C:\Games\Blood 2). - Go to the game folder and run _setup.bat to create shortcuts on your desktop. - Play Blood II by running one of the shortcuts you just created. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Words ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In case you have some questions regarding the Blood series, you can drop by at The Postmortem forum: http://forums.the-postmortem.com This forum is mainly meant for discussion about Monolith's Blood games, but there is also a general board where you can discuss about anything you want (as long as it's legal). :P By the way, this release isn't in any way affiliated with The Postmortem forum, or any of its members.

If Blood closes when you try to run it, then go to C:\Games\Blood\DOSBox and find a file called dosbox.conf.
Open it with notepad and replace fullresolution=1024x768 with your current screen resolution.
Save the changes and try again.

To run in windowed mode, go to the DOSBox folder, and open dosbox.conf.
Go to the line 20 and change it from fullscreen=true to fullscreen=false.
Save the changes and start the game. ;)

Eqa5cro (2010-11-30)

@bloodplayr1989
Blood with Plasma contains original 4 episodes of Blood and an extra episode from Plasma Pak (postmortem).
If you played Blood with Plasma, you played the original Blood. :)

This torrent is FANTASTIC! I own both blood 1 and 2 (but not the Nightmare levels) and I am very excited to be able to run the game so easily on Windows 7.
The 2 best things about this torrent are:
1.) In blood 1, the controls have been re-defined. Using WASD (making the change is easy) but to aim, you use the mouse like in modern FPSs as opposed to the arrow keys. This was a change that I tried to do but failed.
2.) Blood 1 uses Dos Box. I haven't used Dos Box in a while and it looks very different, but with this, you run from the game's .exe as opposed to launching Dosbox and typing in all the crap.
On the negative side:
Intro videos were removed, even the Monolith logo and the GT Interactive logo was removed.
Blood 2 also has a tenancy to have a window around the border of the screen to flicker for 1 frame.

Efunkmaster (2011-04-06)

carefull with both files. they are contaminated with a Suspicious.Cloud.5 trojan.
i suggest the host removes the upload. or just simply reupload a clean one

matthew_rs7 (2011-04-10)

I am having problems with Nightmare levels crashing. during the intro cutscene. It keeps crashing and it won't pass that part and I can't skip the cutscene.

Eqa5cro (2011-04-26)

@matthew_rs7
Nightmare levels work fine for me, sorry but I can't help you with that.
As for intro videos, only Monolith and GTI logos ware removed as OUWB has them, but doesn't use them for some reason.
@efunkmaster
Stop trolling, there is no fcking virus or anything similar in this torrent.

Blarg5290 (2011-04-28)

I just downloaded it and when i tried to extract it, Norton says that it detected and deleted a virus. Its the same Suspicious.Cloud.5 trojan that Efunkmaster mentioned. I don't think he's trollin. These files are definitley contaminated.

Blarg5290 (2011-04-28)

Got the same Suspicious.Cloud.5 trojan that Efunkmaster mentioned when I tried to extract it. Good thing Norton blocked it. These files are definitely contaminated.

Eqa5cro (2011-05-19)

@Blarg5290
Ok, go and buy an official Half-Life: Opposing Force disk.
Now scan it with your precious antivirus software and start flaming Valve for including infected files.
These files are note infected, these are false detections by your antivirus.

Blaxraptor (2011-06-02)

cliffhoof89 (2011-07-04)

Please Seed i want this game so bad and there is 0/0 seeders :(

Eqa5cro (2011-08-08)

I could seed again, but what's the point when others don't?

GSTAR321 (2011-10-21)

I tried running the setup file but I get the following message "The version of the file is not compatible with the version of windows your running ... "
Any ideas?

godspike (2012-09-19)

I am trying to run it on a laptop with windows 7. I changed my screen resolution to 1366x768 and saved. It opens and closes right away. Any ideas on how to get it going would be awesome, thanks
