Blood
DOSFirst-Person Shooter
Blood is a first-person shooter developed by Monolith Productions and published by GT Interactive for DOS in 1997. It combines fast gunplay with dark-fantasy horror, grotesque enemies, occult imagery, and elaborate environmental traps. Players control Caleb, an undead gunslinger seeking revenge after being betrayed and resurrected by the Cabal's deity, Tchernobog. The campaign emphasizes exploration, secret hunting, varied weapons, and grisly set pieces across themed episodes. Its distinctive arsenal includes a flare gun, dynamite, spray can, and voodoo doll alongside conventional firearms. Blood was well received for its atmosphere, level design, humor, and weapon variety, although its difficulty and graphic violence were considered intense for the period.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
