They become much more manageable in ''The Second Encounter'', though there's still the occasional wave where they approach you from multiple directions, making them harder to manage.

The second instance becomes more manageable by way of having the Serious Minigun and the Rocket Launcher, as well as a bigger arena. Though you won't get to the next area unless you destroy the other waves of enemies.

** Oasis. The section between entering the temple and marsh hopper room is very difficult due to a lot of enemies spawning in relatively tight spaces. This leaves you two options: Either use still relatively weak non-explosive weapons and get overwhelmed or use explosives, risking self-damage.
** The "Great Pyramid" starts with a few, yet massive, waves of enemies in the first area and only then it moves to the exterior, where not only you will fight a regenerating [[FinalBoss Ugh-Zan III]] but also horde after horde of the worst the game has to offer. This is actually the best part for some players, since it gives a nice "Holy fuck!" feeling the first few times.

* PortingDisaster: The Palm OS port. Someone had the brilliant idea to make a port of the first game for PDA devices. The result is a game with a very choppy framerate and no music that plays more like ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'' than ''Serious Sam''. Series fan Framerater has an entire [[https://youtu.be/RESZSRgS6-o video]] covering this version in full detail.

** For a good sense of the game's scale, you kill almost 500 enemies in the demo level alone.
** The level "The Great Pyramid" starts with a night battle against hordes bigger than any previous encounters. And then there's the entrance of [[spoiler:Ugh-Zan III]], a kaiju-sized boss who comes from behind. What follows is a race towards the Pyramid while you deal not only with a boss who can HealThyself and shoot with powerful weapons, but also against waves and waves of the worst baddies the game has to offer.
