Did I play this... or does it simply look so familiar because of how similar it is to Duke Nukem from that time period?

Both are from apogee, both were shareware, so good chance.

It's still there; there's just a space between bio and menace for whatever reason. Strange that the spelling has to be exact for it to show up in search.

I remember this, though I was more into duke nukem.

"enhanced" graphics, eh? Maybe more texture than the original (going by memory)? I think games like this live and die on retro authenticity, so you wouldn't want to enhance the graphics too much. I don't see anything obviously deviating from 4 bit VGA, or maybe even EGA...

I remember buying this on diskette back in the day. It was a lot of fun back then. I wonder how it stacks up today?

It was good. That and Jill of the Jungle, and Xargon, and all the other great Keen-like (Keen-type) games of their day. I even bought shareware Doom on diskette, but I only had a 286, so I could only play it at friends' houses. Those were the days. :D
