The BFG page

- Toranaga website -

Without doubts the BFG is the best weapon ever seen in a videogame. Everyone knows the powerfull BFG 9000 from Doom and the version 10000 from Quake 2 & 3. But those are not the only versions of our favorite weapon. Many authors have invented their own type of BFG. This is a litte list of the BFG versions I've found on the web. If you know other versions or if you find an error in this page, you can send me a email at toranaga@email.it
