BioMenace Remastered – A remaster of Apogee Software’s action platformer is coming to Steam via Rigel Gameworks
Apogee Software released some great games in the 90’s, games such as Monster Bash, Bio Menace and even our personal favorite Duke Nukem. Well one game that’s going to get the remaster treatment, and a game that many of us still remember to this day, is the 90’s game of ‘BioMenace’. Yes indeed for those who loved playing this game back in the 90’s, will pleased to know that Rigel Gameworks, a small independent game development team, will be bringing to Steam ‘BioMenace Remastered’ as of Q4 2025; an enhanced modern re-release of the 1993 DOS game BioMenace.
And here’s the full details from the latest press release! “Players take on the role of Snake Logan, a top-secret CIA operative. His latest mission is to fly recon over Metro City, a metropolis under attack by hordes of dangerous mutated creatures. The monsters were sent by a man calling himself Dr. Mangle, who threatens to attack the rest of the world unless his demands are met. After Snake’s plane gets shot down and crash lands in the city, he is forced to continue on foot and fight his way through, rescuing any survivors on the way – all while hunting for secret areas and racking up a high score”.
“Compared to other contemporary titles, the game features a unique player arsenal, with a hit-scan (instant hit) machine gun as the primary weapon and hand grenades for support. Gameplay is mainly focused on combat and exploration, with a few platforming challenges. BioMenace is organized into three episodes, each containing 12 levels. On top of fighting off enemies, finishing a level often requires finding keys and switches to unlock passages as well as rescuing a hostage. Each episode features distinct environments, introduces new graphics, enemies and music into the mix, and includes multiple unique boss fights”
