FPS Year Summary - 1995

For 5 years after Doom was released, similar 3D shooters were known as "Doom clones", so much of an influence was it. Fans were making their own levels and sharing them with others on the internet. However, due to the slow speed of modems in these days (even slower than 56k) it was tough to download these, so many companies put out collections of Doom 1 & 2 levels on cds for fans to buy. Often, these were unlicensed and took levels and sold them for a quick profit without even having permissions of the various fans who made them. Companies then began to sue for others taking advantage of their copyrights and this trend would all but disappear in a couple of years. Star Wars: Dark Forces was the first successful licensed FPS game. LucasArts had decided Star Wars would make appropriate material for a game in the style of Doom but also added several technical features that Doom lacked, such as the ability to crouch or look up and down. It introduced a linear storyline with levels presented as "missions" with certain objectives to be accomplished, and cutscenes that advanced the plot.

Star Wars: Dark Forces
MechWarrior 2
The Pie 3D Game Creation System

MechWarrior 2 was the first 3D game in the FASA BattleTech sci-fi wargame license. You operate huge lumbering but powerful Mech robots in a battlefield with flight sim-like controls. When 3D cards came along, special versions were created to take advantage of 3D texturing. FPS games have since been bundled as a bonus when people purchase videocards as they are at the leading edge of technology for more advanced graphics. The Pie 3D Game Creation System was one of the earliest ways for home users to create their own games with an all-in one package to design level environments, objects, models and weapons. Some creations tried their luck as commercial games but the quality couldn't compare with polygon 3d engines like in Descent and the upcoming Quake. In the future, most fans would end up trying to make mods for existing game engines instead as a way to learn about game developing and would end up getting more exposure from an already existing fan base of the original game.

Arcade Mania Corel [top]

Arcade Mania is a collection of 3 lackluster arcade games from Corel, a company most famous for its Corel Draw series that dabbled in gaming industry with a few titles in the mid-1990s. The game has nothing you haven't seen before. Neutrino: This is a Breakout variant - by using a paddle the player holds a ball in the air and clears other colorful balls up. Lunar Fox: Battlezone variant - The player drives with a tank through alleyways, locates enemies with a radar and kills them. Nova: The player controls a cross-hair and shoots at suddenly appearing robots. Per level is one screen to cover. None of these three games would warrant purchase individually, and putting them together doesn't improve the play value, either.

Bad Toys 3D Tibo Software [top]

Bad Toys was the first 3D-shooter released for Windows 3.1 and made by Pavel and Libor Valach in the Czech Republic . But, it was only in black & white. Bad Toys 3D is the same game but with 256 colors and needs WinG. The company Happy Toys after having their stocks plunge is bought by Delta Military Systems and becomes Delta Toys. Then on Christmas Day a security guard of Delta toys was charged with shooting his daughter. He claims the shooting was done by a toy. Then DMS could not contact Delta toys, and a SWAT Team was sent in. All men became missing in action. DMS sent in their best man; they had to find out what is going on and kill the threat. You play as a soldier whose mission it is to stop menacing toys with a 4 piece arsenal. There are 25 levels of play. You explore rooms and open doors with your mouse or the keyboard, choosing weapons and collecting ammunition as you go. You run around with a gun shooting yellow smiley-face creatures and fuzzy purple villains. When you run out of bullets you have to use your bare hands and punch the jokers out. Shoot the funny little bad guys when you see them, but remember you have only three lives to spend. Games can be easily loaded and saved in progress. The shareware version includes 3 levels. Funny game.

Another Doom clone which uses the Pie 3D Game Creation engine. You have landed on a planet and you must shoot everything in sight to achive your goal. The Slrrian War has not gone well.

The Slrrians began to clone many of the captured human prisoners in an effort to increase their number. (A typical Slrrian has only one offspring). The human clones are used to conquer Terran worlds where the Slrrians themselves would suffocate...

Note that each WAD can contain more than one level. That might explain why other descriptions of this disc say 500 new levels for Doom and 1800 levels for Doom II.

Cybermage: Darklight Awakening Origin / Electronic Arts [top]

Cybermage from David Bradley (Wizardry) tried to emulate System Shock. It's an action-adventure with the emphasis on action. You play as a cyborg and are considered dangerous by the ruling dictator. A special unit is sent to kill you which, needless to say, fails. The story is told through hand drawn pictures. Bradleys roots as rpg developer shows with the use of magic and mana, which is dropped by slain enemies. A nice point is that you can hear your own footsteps and breathing which adds to the ambience. The puzzles are sort of lame, and can not compete with those found in System Shock. There are also less posibilities as in System Shock, but this also makes for an easier control scheme. The graphics aren't really impressive but you get to operate a tank and an aeroplane. Unfortunately these vehicles seem to move on 'rails' which limits both fun and realism. After some getting used to game still is fun through some neat design ideas. For instance, to get into the city from the ghettos you have to disguise as a gladiator, which of course leads to some heroic fights with other gladiators. The second half of the game is unfortunately of less quality than the first half. There's no more dialogue to progress the story and one can't shake the idea that the programmers lost their drive and just wanted to finish the game. The game ends as a simple dungeon shooter. This is a shame because the game promised much but doesn't quite deliver. The game unfortunately suffered from the "too much ahead of its time" syndrome common to many Origin games of that period: games with very high hardware requirements that only a handful of gamers can afford. As a result, it never sold well.

Deer Napped Nic-Ty Entertainment [top]

As the story goes, one night Santa and his elves were bedding down after a long day of work when, suddenly, they heard a noise. Upon further investigation, they realized that the reindeer were being deer-napped by none other than... Abominable Snow People! Santa has no choice but to send his personal ninja (you) to rescue the poor beasts.
Even though Deer Napped has a well-conceived plot, the fact that you can't move really hurts its chances of ever being enjoyed. The Abominable Snow People will come to you though, but even as the ninja kicks at them with his steel-towed work boot, they never seem to take any damage, which is definitely a bad sign. The game does feature outdoor environments though, which is a major plus. Enjoy the scenery for the few seconds you'll actually be in the game. And the game uses the same Pie 3D Game Creation System as Castaway.

Extreme Rise Of The Triad Apogee, 3DRealms / FormGen [top]

Missiondisk for Rise of the Triad. The add-on was produced by only two developers from the original team, Tom Hall & Joe Siegler. Generally the maps produced in this add-on were considerably harder than the original game's maps due to tricks that Tom & Joe had learned in the editor since the release of the original. The Extreme ROTT CD also had several other goodies on it. There were some user made level editors, a random level generator from Apogee, maps, sound files, etc. The levels ended up being released as freeware on September 1, 2000. The remaining materials on the Extreme ROTT CD were released as freeware online as part of a "ROTT Goodies Pack" on February 15, 2005.

Gore Galore: The Breakout Jester Software [top]

One of the many undistinguished Wolfenstein 3D clones that tried to make it commercially as shareware. It used the Pie 3D Game Creation System. An escaped homicidal maniac "BLOODY BOB", satisfies your sickest fantasies in a splatter fest of blood & gore. In addition to Ninjas, you’ll also fight guys in green uniforms that strangely resemble Hank Williams Jr. and Maytag repairmen donned in blue jumpsuits. In your HUD's health display, you'll get crayon scribbles of red on an image of your character as you get injured. As your health whittles down, your flesh will become bones until you turn into a skeleton. Firearms include a shotgun, rocket launcher, a fire extinguisher, and grenades. Setting itself apart from the rest of your weapons is what could only be considered the most inspired weapon of all time – the poo gun, which acts as a hose allowing you to spray gobs of semi-liquefied shit to bury your enemies under. Sure, the game may call it the "goo gun", but the game's documentation explicitly refers to it as the poo gun.

H.U.R.L. / Slob Zone 3D / Blob Schlammschlacht 3D Deep River Multimedia Studio, Flexform Software / Millenium Media Group, Kelly Media [top]

A 3d-Shooter for kids from 6 to 14. You fight against the filthy army of the piglet Bob. The game takes place in an area called The Slob Zone which is under the control of Bob the Slob, who controls the Hardcore Union of Radical Litterbugs (H.U.R.L.), a legion of oversized creatures such as frogs and cats and has stolen the world's supply of clean underwear and it is up to the player to get it back. The hero's role involves not only staying clean while navigating through the game's ten increasingly messy levels, but also cleaning up after the animals, who have dirtied the landscape with waste items such as banana peels, empty soda bottles, and apple cores. As the player gathers up this rubbish, he will be on the lookout for vending machines where it can be dropped off and traded for weapons: soap, water balloons, and deodorant, which he can use to fight back against the animals as they hurl their trash at him. If an animal is hit too many times, it will stop attacking and usually allow the player to pass. If the player is hit too many times, the screen displays the message "YOU'VE BEEN SLOBBED!" and the level starts over again. The images in the game are mostly digital pictures of figurines created from modeling clay, encoded in an early type of GIF.

With Hades, Ablex continued to walk untrodden paths, this time by trying to combine FPS elements obviously inspired by Doom with a 3D flight sim/shooter like Terminal Velocity or Fury³. It was the first real-time 3-D action arcade game made in Korea. Dogfight battle screens and close combat is reminiscent of Comanche. Actual voice sampling and thrilling sound effects are implemented. It has original and exciting game scenarios, the ability to zoom-in, zoom-out, the use of a horizontal radar, and various view modes to select.

German add-on CD for the Apogee Software game Rise of the Triad. Also includes a "Doomsday-Remix" audio track by OyEZ! paying tribute to Doom. This shovelware pack's 5400 level claim is quite possibly bogus, as there appears to be far few levels than that. But it doesn't matter, because all of the maps in here were generated by the RandROTT utility so none were manually designed.

Heresies Developer's Network CD Occurrence III Cytech Codehouse / Developers' Network [top]

Heresies is a utility with a micro-manager and database program that interacts with Heretic and allows the user to enhance and expand operations in conjunction with the basic game. The CD contains several utilities. One is a database filled with various wad (modification) files as well as a level database. There is also an APCi Game Client that basically lets you add and subtract wads and levels to multiple databases as well as connect to any BBS game server running that specific wad or level. Finally, it allows you to utilize the PlayNet Premier Multiplayer Online Service. At the time of release in 1995, a quote lifted from the back of the box indicates this is "...the top APCi Multiplayer Game Server in the country." Also with Heresies, you got 20 free hours of time on this server.

Heretic & Hexen Series ISO Demos + Mods, Extras, Scans (uploaded by hgdagon)


Hexen: Beyond Heretic RavenSoftware / GT Interactive [top]

Choosing from a few classes (paladin,necromancer,...) you are sent into a fantasy Doom-like game. The Doom-engine was enhanced with breakable glass, particles and fog which add to the setting. It also popularized the "hub system" of level progression in the genre of FPS games. Unlike previous games, which had relied purely on MIDI for music, Hexen is also able to play tracks from CDs. The game's own CD contained soundtrack in audio format that was exactly the same as the game's MIDI soundtrack but played through a high quality sound module. However, the most significant improvement was the addition of wall translation, rotation and level scripting. The huge levels and the many teleporters in them just make the game confusing. Puzzles are just presented in the familiar 'find the key' style. It's twice as big as Doom but not nearly half as fun. In 1997, an updated version called Hexen for Windows 95 was released that has better graphics, improved performance, and supports high resolution up to 640x480.

I.M. Meen Animation Magic Inc. / Simon & Schuster Interactive [top]

The eponymous villain of the game I.M. Meen has a serious pet peeve - he can't stand it when children study. Thus, he creates a magical book that, when read, traps children in Meen's evil labyrinth. As the player, you assume the role of one of 2 new children trapped in the maze. Your mission is to free the other children imprisoned in this dungeon and find a way out for yourself. As you walk around the first-person perspective maze, you will encounter a number of fearsome monsters to make your quest difficult. However, you have the ability to punch the enemies. There are also other magical offensive weapons that you find throughout the game. Plus, I.M. Meen's sidekick gnome, Gnick, has betrayed his master and is offering you assistance where possible. The educational aspect of this game involves completing miniature assignments in order to free imprisoned children. For example, a letter from Gnick to Meen is displayed along with the instructions to correct the 2 punctuation errors contained in the text. Once the player successfully completes the task, a fellow captured child is freed.

You must gun down hostile dildos and breasts using your trusty... er... "pump action". When hit, they turn into coins. Plus you have farts and poop to make it interesting until the boring gameplay takes over.

Kaos (cancelled) Millenium Group [top]

Kaos is a freeware Wolfenstein 3D clone game created by Italian developers Massimiliano Teso, Domenico Valentini e Andrea Fiorentini. They tried to sell it, but the old graphics in contrast with the better graphics in Doom or Quake didn't help in their quest. So, they abandoned the project. In 2004, they decided to publish it (for free) for the Italian magazine "The Games Machine". The game is in a Beta/Pre-relase state (it has only 3 levels, but is perfectly playable, even in "three players" mode). The download also has the source code of the game, and the various resources used by the developers (graphics, sounds and texts).

Kombat Iziurov Sergey [top]

A parody of Quake's deathmatch mode . You can only play together in split-screen mode (the screen is split in half vertically). Actually, this thing is a typical 3D "mix" in the Doom style. In the left half of the screen, the first player is displayed, in the right, respectively, the second. Each can see his weapon, currently selected. Below in each of the parts of the screen is the statistics of the players: their health, armor, ammo and frags (points). You can adjust the game speed using the - and + keys located at the top of the numeric keypad. Default controls for the first player: t, y, u, v - move, z - attack,? - change weapons; for the second: arrows - move, ctrl - attack, backspace or 3 - change weapons. You can change this layout using F1 and F2, but you cannot reassign the keys that are responsible for choosing weapons, but there is a strafe button. Pressing ESC exits and the MS-DOS command prompt appears. The gameplay resembles Doom, but much easier. Players compete with each other, along the way picking up items in the form of first aid kits, body armor and weapons. It is noteworthy that even after firing a pistol, you can see the bullets. And how the rocket flies. The same goes for the laser and plasma gun. Plus, among the weapons there are wire cutters, a chainsaw, a shotgun, a minigun. In addition to simple items, there is also the quad itself, which increases the damage done - it seems to have come from Quake. Of particular interest can be a bonus in the form of a shining ball, which has a random effect: having picked it up, one can only hope for a favorable outcome, but this is rarely observed - usually we get some kind of anti-bonus. For example, after the selection on half of the screen of the player who took him, the inscription Nostalgie memorizes suddenly appears and tears flow: they say, he felt ashamed - why did he decide to fight against his comrade? .. Other consequences may be the character's paralysis for a while, his slowing down, changing control or flipping the image on the screen upside down, and sometimes the game itself can begin to glitch in the truest sense of the word. There are no restrictions on frags: you are allowed to fight until you get bored. Characters, objects and the levels themselves are easy to edit, because the data about them is recorded in a text file. You can't write much about graphics. The sky is blue, and the other eight textures are, in principle, enough for the whole game - everything looks noble. It is especially worth noting that there are also transparent textures such as fence and grating. If you go to the door, then it opens smoothly. But there is no sound at all.

Lost Episodes Of Doom, The Sybex Inc [top]

The Lost Episodes of Doom is a book/disk package. It takes place on the Jovian moons Callisto and Io and Jupiter itself. The 246-page book provides a detailed guide of the 24 new levels with stories that are a crucial element to this game. It was written by Jonathan Mendoza with some notes by both map designers. It seems the United Aerospace Corporation's experiments with inter-dimensional space travel have gone awry. Anomalies, apparent ruptures in the fabric of time/space, were discovered on Jupiter's moons and opened the possibility of instant space travel. The human subjects who dared to jump through are emerging as blood-thirsty killers. But even more disturbing, a host of interdimensional creatures are also materializing in our universe. You are a scientist who tried to warn them but was ignored and now must rely on your former Marine training to battle these enemies and to close the portals. Jupiter's Red Spot also turns out to be the largest gateway to Hell in the entire Solar system.

Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds Bullfrog Productions / Electronic Arts [top]

The evil demon lord Vissuluth has taken control of the realms of the Netherworld. Once prosperous lands have been infested with monsters and several evil wizards, Vissuluth's side-kicks, are up to no good either. Fortunately the magician Kafkar knows a promising young apprentice who may stand up to Vissuluth. You're that apprentice!
This is the sequel to Magic Carpet and uses a new 3D engine to produce better looking graphics. New spells and monsters are also included. It's an action game with some elements from other genres thrown into the mix. The biggest part of the gameplay is FPS action. You fly around on your magic carpet, clearing levels by killing monsters and battling other wizards. Instead of guns, you use offensive spells like fireball, meteor, lightning, tornado etc.
Every monster you kill leaves behind a certain amount of mana which you can possess and store in your castle. You need this mana to cast spells and if you store it in your castle other wizards can't steal it (in some levels you need to defend your castle from attacks by monsters and rival wizards). With enough mana you can upgrade your castle which allows you to cast more powerful spells. During the course of the game you'll get all kinds of new spells and improve the ones you already have.
Like many other games by Bullfrog, it's also a bit of a god game. Many realms are inhabited by neutral citizens; you can help them by destroying monsters that attack them or destroy their cities yourself. You can also completely transform each game world with spells like volcano, earthquake and gravity well.

Mortal Coil: Adrenalin Intelligence Crush, Vic Tokai / Virgin Interactive [top]

A near future anti-terrorism team-based game where real-time strategy counts in giving missions to your teammates. Sort of a low-grade Rainbow Six game. The year is 2005. Mortal Coil is the code name of a covert agency of crack undercover mercenaries funded by first world governments. Its role: to investigate a series of sabotages and terrorist attacks on key research installations. Their brief: find the terrorists and terminate. The AI of the teammates allows them to react to enemy movements and other targets. You can tell your team to search the area, avoid combat, guard a location, investigate or ignore doors, and collect or ignore bonus items. The AI of computer-controlled teammates is decent, although they are far less effective than controlling them yourself. Similar to Space Hulk, you can view the action from all four agents at once by choosing the four-way split-screen view. Using 11 weapons and other equipment, you have to eliminate 18 different types of enemies in 7 different and long missions.

Rebel Moon Fenris Wolf Ltd. [top]

Rebel Moon is a First-Person Shooter bundled exclusively with the Creative Labs 3D Blaster PCI or VLB 2D/3D accelerators. The game is only compatible with a video card utilizing the Rendition Verite 1000 Chipset. Rebel Moon takes place in the middle of the twenty-first century as rebels of the Lunar Defense Force (LDF) prepare to wage a war of independence for the moon throughout twenty-some colonies settled there. For decades, the lunar colonists had felt oppressed as they began to hold less and less sway in trade policies and executive decisions carried out for them on the behalf of the Earth. Though their numbers and armaments small, the beleaguered lunar colonists had finally reached their breaking point, and declared themselves independent of the Earth. Rebel Moon features many different styles of mission goals: objectives ranging from sabotage (where the player must find and destroy enemy infrastructure), seek-and-destroy (where the player and other LDF soldiers must eliminate an enemy stronghold), and even defense missions (where the player and an allotment of LDF soldiers must successfully defend a Rebel objective). Depending on the type of mission you are on, you will be allotted a specific number of LDF soldiers in reserve to back up your main force. Managing the numbers of those reserve soldiers could spell victory or disaster in some missions. You have a large arsenal of futuristic weapons at your disposal, ranging from laser pistols to chain-fed rail-guns and plasma rifles. There's 27 levels and also the game disc itself doubled as a soundtrack disc that can operate on stereo or musical disc systems, playing the game soundtrack. In 1996, a novel of the same name based on it was written by Bruce Bethke. It has dynamic color lighting which was revolutionary for the time. In 2011, WERTA & Vladimir 777 made a version playable on normal pc's by using the Rebel Moon Rising engine.

Rolemaster: Magestorm / Magestorm Millennium Interworld Productions / Mythic Entertainment / Engage Games Online [top]

Rolemaster: Magestorm (since 2001, Magestorm Millennium) was an online-only first-person shooter using magical spells as weapons. It was developed in 1995 by Interworld Productions (now Mythic Entertainment). It centered on team-based gameplay and included some role-playing elements, notably the character class and level-based systems. The four character classes were the Wizard, Psionic, Eldritch and Healer; but prior to Magestorm Millennium, the character classes were named as Magician, Mentalist, Arcanist and Cleric, respectively. A character could gain experience points by hitting other players and raise up to level 30. Each gained level gave spell picks which allowed to unlock new spells.
This game is no longer officially available and was finally retired in January 2006. An unofficial server emulator called "Magestorm: Revival" is playable but in development. Only 100 free users are allowed but for a monthly free (Magestorm Plus), you can have access privilige.

Skaphander: Der Auftrag / Virus Explosion OP Group Germany / Navigo [top]

This German developed game is a bloodless shooter in the strictest sense: you hunt viruses, bugs and wrongly configured IRQ's in the inside of a computer. The story is based on a short story from the popular Sci-fi writer Phillip K. Dick. It was the first commercially released game created with a rather simple 3D game creator called "3D Game Studio" by Conitec Systems. The programmers obviously didn't want any problem with censorship but maybe that should have implied that the game should've been fun. Now it's just a dull little shooter. An upgraded version was later released in 1997 titled Virus Explosion.

Special Corps Mago Soft [top]

A strange arcade game of either Spanish or Argentine origin, belonging to the "virtual shooting gallery" subgenre and apparently trying to copy the entourage of the Crime Patrol dilogy. The plot is very conditional: in the role of an operative of a certain special forces unit, we have to complete several missions dedicated to the elimination of all kinds of criminal elements and, with rare exceptions, are very similar to each other. Perspective view - from the first person; control of the sight is carried out from the keyboard (the keys for moving it in space and firing are proposed to be configured before the start on your own), although a joystick is also supported (but not a mouse). Before each of the tasks, of which there are only four in total, it is required to undergo a "training": several targets appear in front of us, standing "in profile", after which one of them unfolds "full face". All you need to do is quickly (otherwise it will take its original position) to bring the sight to it and shoot until the numerical value next to the word "Municion" in the lower left corner of the screen becomes zero. It is impossible to miss in this case, because the target does not move to the sides; there is no time limit either. However, if it is not possible to bring the sight right away, then the target, as already mentioned, will again turn sideways to us, after which some other will show its "front" side. But since there is no time limit, you can simply "get close" to any of them and wait for its reversal. It is imperative to shoot "intensively": if you make a short pause, the target will turn again, whereas if you do not, then it will not turn. The first, second and fourth missions are essentially the same and differ only in the background surroundings, realized in the form of a digitized photograph: this is, respectively, the runway with a huge helicopter standing on it, the pier and the vicinity of the swimming pool in the courtyard of the villa. Periodically, enemies appear on the screen, both appearing "out of nowhere" in the same places and after that do not move until their death, and running out from the lateral boundaries of space or literally "crawling out" from the bottom. Some of the adversaries are again digitized photographs (but such "comrades" are rare), others (which are just the majority) are luridly drawn small models. There are several types of opponents in total, all of them are armed with machine guns: if you look closely, you can see a subtle visual effect of "shooting" in each of them. Some of the enemies die from one well-aimed shot, disappearing at the same time, but some - always presented in the form of photographs - lose their lives only after a couple of hits and, when received, "writhe in pain" (which is shown bloodlessly and by changing them for a few seconds images to others). In order to win each of the aforementioned missions, you need to score a thousand points - while this fact itself is calculated only empirically, it is not mentioned separately about it anywhere. There is no "interface" of any kind on the screen: no records of our hits or earned points are kept, the stock of health and ammunition is not shown (the latter, apparently, are infinite). Moreover: it seems that it is either difficult to die here, or it is completely impossible (!): The number of opponents is large (especially since the places of the killed are instantly occupied by new ones), they fire rather dense, but the protagonist does not die for some reason for at least a very long time. Contrary to what was said in the "opening speech" (concerning the fact that we supposedly "should not leave anyone alive"). The only thing that impresses even a little, - this is the third mission, which differs from all the others, albeit largely formally. The action here takes place in a small room, and there is only one enemy - a bandit, using a girl as a "human shield", to whom he put a gun to his temple; the corresponding model is presented again in the form of a digitized photograph, and the girl for some reason coquettishly squints her eyes towards the villain holding her. The difficulty in this task consists of three components: the opponent moves chaotically in space; Of course, you can only shoot at a bandit (whose head, one shoulder and part of the chest are "open") - if we hit a girl, then we will be immediately credited with defeat; the villain is surprisingly hardy, so he will die only after about thirteen (!) hits, and regardless of whether which parts of his body will our bullets hit. Each successful shot is accompanied by a change from the original photo model to another: the bandit "leans back" with a bloody chest (it is noteworthy that there is no blood anywhere else in this game - but even here it looks frankly caricatured), and the girl laughs at him. Surprisingly, the villain does not use weapons either against us or against his captive, so all that is required of the player is to carefully aim, "chasing" the enemy with a sight. It remains to add that some figures are so small and inconspicuous that it is very difficult to notice them in the background, and perspective distortion is often observed in their display (identical models can be formally different from us distance, but in fact their dimensions will always be the same).

Star Wars: Dark Forces LucasArts [top]

The first 3d-shooter in the Star Wars universe. It was supposed to replace Doom as the best shooter, and it delivers through good graphics, Star Wars music, varied missions and a good storyline. The biggest drawback was that you couldn't save anywhere, which was enhanced by the fact that some levels were really huge. Still, Dark Forces didn't sell as many copies as Doom or even Doom 2. The missing multiplayer might have something to with that. In Dark forces you play as Kyle Katarn, a former Imperial Guard. As a new rebel agent you have to complete many varied missions. You will visit imperial bases, the canals of planet Anoat, a prison, Darth Vader's spaceship and you'll even fight Boba Fett (one of the highlights of the game ). Some very tough spots make up for some irritation, which is of course enhanced by the shabby save-game function. It introduced a linear storyline with levels presented as "missions" with certain objectives to be accomplished, and cutscenes that advanced the plot. It was also the first "Doom clone" to be set in the environments of a predefined universe (Imperial bases, Star Destroyers, ships, planets, etc.) rather than simplistic, surreal mazes and "find the exit" scenarios. All in all, this is a very good game.

Super Noah's Ark 3D Wisdom Tree [top]

For those who have to have absolutely all games that used the Wolfenstein 3D game engine, this is probably the first Christian FPS game. This was originally created and was the first non-licensed game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System - and then was converted to run on PC computers. The game designers bought permission from id to remake and slightly alter Wolfenstein 3D. In this game, players assume the role of Noah trying to get his animals back in their pens, as opposed to a soldier trying to hunt down Adolph Hitler. id's original mazes were not altered in design; they used the exact same dungeons. The differences were that they replaced the smooth blue walls with logs to invoke that "in an ark" look. They also did away with the grenades and machine guns and replaced them with a single slingshot that players used to shoot food at animals. Instead of having soldiers that charged at you, then fell in a bloody pool when shot, Super 3D Noah's Ark has little goats that try to kick you with their hind legs and fall asleep with little "Zs" over their heads when you shoot them with food. A 20th Anniversary Edition released on Steam adds native support, high resolution rendering, and improved controls.

TekWar, William Shatner's Capstone / Intracorp [top]

After the tv series based on Shatner's novels, Tekwar comes to the PC using the Build engine. Shatner himself, playing top rent-a-cop Walter Bascom, guides you into the game. You are a reanimated cryogenic prisoner, a former police officer framed and imprisoned for dealing the ultra-powerful Tek drug. Bascom has gotten you out of the freezer and assigned you to hunt down the seven TekLords who are plotting to unleash their product into the cybernetic matrix, hooking millions of unsuspecting computer users. In the game you will mostly find yourself in well populated cities, filled with civilians, police officers and of course the Teklords. There are many vehicles (although you can only use the subway). The graphics are quite adequate in sharp contrast with the AI of civilians and opponents alike. The game never really draws you in the Tek-world because there's not enough story and the mission is always the same: find Teklord - kill Teklord.

Terminator, The: Future Shock Bethesda Softworks / Virgin Interactive [top]

Once again Bethesda sends us to a postnuclear America to battle against Skynet and its robotic minions. You play a human who escapes entrapment by the Terminators. After escaping hostile enemy territory in the first mission, the player meets with John Connor, the leader of the resistance. From that point on, one plays as a resistance fighter. The setting is Los Angeles in the year 2015. SkyNet's uprising in 1997 has left most of humanity dead, with control in SkyNet's hands. All around is death and decay, scattered with remnants of a past society shattered. After Rampage, which disappointed even the biggest Terminator fans, Bethesda took more time and developed an in-house engine called 'Xngine'. This allowed for a detailed Los Angeles setting but also came with various bugs and graphic corruptions. The game consists of non-related missions which are linked through text messages and briefings. Thanks to the Xngine it was the first time that the now classic keyboard/mouse controls were put to good use. In the first mission you have to get across from a hotel to another building which really gives a sense of height which also wasn't seen before. Also you will be able to enter a jeep or a H/K aeroplane which requires different controls. It really feels like 3 different engines in one: walking/shooting, driving and flying. The missions are varied (although a fewer dungeon missions would have been nice) and are filled with surprises. Unfortunately Bethesda never got Future Shock bug-free which can spoil the game. Fans of the Terminator films will however spend many pleasant hours with this game.

Another Doom clone made with the Pie 3D Game Creation System where you have to rescue Santa's frozen elf held captive by the evil polar bear king. It has Wolfenstein-like 3D graphics. Although you use heavy weaponry (shotguns and so on) this is not a gory game. The graphics, sounds and gameplay are all fairly basic. The graphics have a mildly winter/Christmas related theme, and there is an inventory system that is a bit more complex than usual in games of this type.

Thor's Hammer Escape Programming / MVP Software [top]

As in ages past, the shadow of a great evil falls across your homeland. In a trial that marks the passing of an age, a champion must once again take up the legendary Thor's Hammer to quell the enchroaching darkness. Thor's Hammer consists in its full version, which is named Thor's Hammer Trilogy, out of three episodes: The Trial, The Journey and The Battle. The game has a medieval background and so are the weapons and items you find: axes, spells and armor. The game plays like a 1st person shooter but there are some RPG elements, too. You have for example to interact with NPCs to gather information and to get advice from them. Each episode consists of one huge level, an automap will help you to not lose yourself in it. Your character can walk, run, and strafe in any direction in a "flat" 3D environment like Wolfenstein 3D, battling enemies in real time, and there is no money or experience points. Nevertheless, you fight with an axe and cast magic spells, you can upgrade your weapons and armor, and your health and magic bars increase throughout the game. The combination works and it's quite a fun game, though a bit too easy. The dungeons are huge, though mostly devoid of enemies, so the game is more time consuming than difficult. In July/2009, the full game was allowed to be released as freeware.

TimeGate Orlando and David Rivera / TimeView [top]

This is a very obscure FPS - a real "jurassic" shooter of "epoch" proportions. This game is based on a world in an alternate reality in some past time. This once idyllic world was once protected by the an ancient order - The Dino Riders - which kept the evil that every world has at bay. Until the TimeGate (time rift) appeared to the Dark Ones. The balance of power was shifted and the battles began. The Dino Riders prevailed but at the cost of their union. The evil artifacts spread throughout the land seducing many with the promise of unlimited power. The TimeGate was not able to be destroyed so before the end of the last true Dino Riders, the TimeGate was hidden with 3 Keys in three areas in order to try and prevent the total demise of good from the land. Years later one of the keys has been found by the Dark ones and the threat of total domination is at hand again. Some ancient scrolls have been discovered that gave some clues how to destroy the Timegate or control it. You (the player) are a direct descendant of one of the greatest Dino Riders of all. Trained by the last Dino Rider Master and hidden from the Dark ones; you are forced out of hiding. And with the new threat to the land, the last of Dino Rider of the original order - Rides again. It's made up of two levels that are connected together creating this world which is much like an ancient large world (just under a quarter of a square mile in scale). You first appear in the outdoors. You will find mazes, castles, a city, and jungle area. Encounter trees, roads, bullets, health vases, armor, Trexs, cave-like areas and traps, etc. This 16-bit game is a true Windows 3.1 16 bit game using WinG. A 32-bit version called The Dinosaurs Are Out was planned but never completed.

One of the features of Witchaven was that its weapons were not infinitely durable - with the exceptions of the fists, weapons would break down with repeated use, and replacements would need to be found. In addition to potions which the player can drink for health, stamina, fire resistance and more, there are several spells which can be cast such as Freeze, Scare, Fly, Unlock and Fireball. There are a plethora of monsters the player must contend with, including goblins, ogres, fire drakes and willow wisps. The final boss of the game is the evil Illwhyrin. Not much new has been introduced otherwise. It's fun to play but it won't rock your world. If you enjoyed Hexen, try this one.

Wrath Of Earth Addix Software / Softkey, CDV [top]

One of the most unknown, underrated games ever made, this is a fun futuristic FPS with quite a few innovations that are rarely seen in today's 3D-accelerated games. You play either a male or female commander who is sent to investigate the chaotic situation at the Aragon mining colony, where mining robots run rampant, most humans are dead, and an alien invasion is rumored. You see the world from your bio-suit and access features and perform actions similar to those in System Shock, except that you do it in a 2.5D engine (no jumping, looking up or down, etc...). A distress signal was sent from the Aragon mining colony on a planet called Thermadax, taking five years to arrive to the Earth. A cybernetically enhanced fighter protected by an exoskeleton with mounted weaponry is sent to deal with the situation. A few of the colonists are still alive; the rest have mutated horribly, unable to resist the invasion of robotic enemies. The lone hero is the only one who can put an end to this dreadful situation. It incorporates traditional action-oriented mechanics with tactical decisions and interaction with the environment. The protagonist is often underpowered, and running for cover to gain advantage over the foes is sometimes the only way to survive. The player character's exoskeleton can recharge its power and repair itself using energy from a light source, effectively healing the protagonist. Stepping out of the darkness to recharge becomes therefore another tactical alternative. The futuristic weapons include plasma cannons, warhead launchers, and others; some of them use the exoskeleton's power, while others require ammunition. Beside using these weapons to advance in the game, the player also must interact with the environment, collecting items and completing other tasks to bypass security. It is also possible to interact with the human survivors, who can provide weapons, energy packs, and important information. Ambient temperature and radioactivity are present in the game, affecting the protagonist's movement and the effectiveness of his weapons. Damaging the exoskeleton's shields will not only make the protagonist more vulnerable, but also decrease his ability to aim and the rate of weapon fire. The exoskeleton can also be activated in different modes: in search mode, it displays a small map of the area, a compass, and a radar screen that indicates the presence of enemies. The attack mode is reserved for combat, while the inventory mode allows the player to access items such as mines, keycards, etc.

This is a pretty good combo of various game types all in one game as you play a man who crashes on an alien planet. First there's a rail shooter section as you jump on a speed bike to help out an alien being chased by robots. There are multiple paths and FMV's to discover. Then there's a 3d action adventure section in 3rd person as you break into the robots camp in order to help the alien's cause so they can fix your spaceship. Then you go on a small hovercraft through tunnels avoiding obstacles and shooting enemies. All in all, there's a variety of fun to be had from this game.

Alone In The Dark 3 Infogrames / I-Motion, Interplay [top]

The Alone In The Dark series was starting to show its age as more fully 3d engines were coming out (with Tomb Raider only a year away). In the third game supernatural private eye Edward Carnby is called to investigate the disappearance of a film crew at a two-bit ghost town known by the name of Slaughter Gulch located in the Californian Mohave desert. Among the disappeared crew is the heroine of the story, Emily Hartwood (from the first game). Edward soon discovers that a curse has gripped the town, and an evil cowboy from the Badlands named Jed Stone is the villain who is responsible for the crew's disappearance. Furthermore, lurking around town are many trigger-happy sharpshooters, deranged prospectors, and bloodthirsty lost souls whom Edward must ward off with both his strength and his wit. This game now adds an adjustable difficulty level for combat and you can view a map of all locations and your position on it. More puzzles were also added; it will take many hours to finish the game.

Backlash: A Turret Gunner Simulation Sanctuary Software Studio, Inc. [top]

This is a first-person space shooter where the player has control of a turret mounted on a spaceship, that must be defended from attack by other enemy ships, asteroids and other dangers. The turret has a limited number of rockets and a main weapon, which uses the same energy as shields; depending on the case, the power level can be assigned to one or another system. Rockets (and other power-ups) can be purchased with credits earned by completing missions. It's similar in style to Wing Commander but without the ability to control your own flight. It featured rasterized 3D models and real-time simulation. It was later released as freeware.

Crusader: No Remorse ORIGIN Systems / Electronic Arts [top]

You are a silencer, the elite of the elite soldiers of World Economic Consortium. You are used to orders of hunting down the Resistance, a ragtag band of rebels committing sabotage and other acts of terrorism against the WEC, but slowly, you realized the WEC is not quite what it appears to be... Then one day you and two other Silencers, your best buddies, were ambushed by a WEC mech patrol when it was supposed to be a routine mission. You alone survived. It is clear that the Silencer is being silenced... And the only place to turn is the Resistance...
Crusader: No Remorse is the first in the series, which is best described as a 2-D isometric shooter. Your silencer can roll left, roll right, kneel, jump, run, and perform other acrobatic moves. You get plenty of different weapons, from assault rifles and shotguns to grenade launchers and lasers, to really exotic weapons like microwave cannon, EMP discharger, and even plasma cannons. You're up against the full military might of the WEC, from simple guards to full-fledged Guardmechs and elite forces (though none are quite as good as you). You can find supplies and money off of killed enemies (if you left a body, that is, and some of the extreme weapons don't). You'll often need to bypass traps, open doors, disable alarms, take out security cameras, and more. The action is intense, and there's usually a bit of puzzle involved. It's often a matter of exploring the map to find a switch or a terminal with the code that'll let you access another part or another level of the map. Between missions you can chat in the Resistance base and/or buy/sell weapons. You can also find recharge stations to replenish your energy and health (you can also find batteries and first aid kits too). The missions range from simple sabotage to rescue.

CyberSpeed Mindscape International Ltd. / Mindscape, Inc. [top]

Race around a futuristic race track tied to a cable, bumping and shooting your opponents. Think "Wipeout" meets cable cars. Cyberspeed is the World Television event of the future. Spread throughout the galaxy, there are ten tracks, each of which consists of a looped force beam, with other force beams branching off it. Each of the eight ships is connected to the track by a force beam, and each ship draws energy directly from the force beams. Energy to your ship can be drained by taking corners too fast, firing your weapons, getting hit by enemy fire, colliding with other ships, and by simply driving the ship. You can increase your energy by picking up power-ups that you'll find along the tracks. Each ship comes with a few extra engine power cells which can be used to break the sound barrier. It's broken up into three different kinds of races: Tournament Race, Free Race, and Time Trial. The tournament consists of ten different basic races against seven opponents, with additional bonus races that pit you against Super Ships. The Free Race is a single race against seven opponents, and you can only race on the first two tracks or on ones that you have already completed. The Time Trial is similar to the Free Race, but with only two pilots competing. In each of the three kinds of races, you can choose between eight different ships. Each ship is ranked according to thrust, mass, speed, and shield strength, and each ship is equipped with the same kinds of weapons: plasma bolts, missiles, and mines.

Descent Mission Builder Brainware / Interplay Entertainment Corp. [top]

Back in the early days of FPS games, mission builders were not made free as is done in modern games. This editor can render Descent's levels in real-time with textures, models, lightning and anti-aliasing, and uses the at the time common Windows 3.1 interface. It is capable of importing custom textures in bmp format and MIDI music, for use within the level. Descent Mission Builder II was released in 1997, also developed by Brainware, being able of creating levels for both Descent 1 and 2. Unlike DMB1 it saw no stand-alone commercial release, but was bundled with the Descent 2 expansion pack Vertigo, and in the Infinite Abyss and Definite Collection releases of Descent 2. DLE (Descent Level Editor) was based on DMB2 v2.7 and offers a slew of bug fixes and enhancements and continues to be revised. Descent 3 was shipped with an in-house developed level editor instead.

This is a sequel to the more adventure oriented game Flashback - the Quest for Identity. This time it has a 3rd-person view in 3D which leads to more action capabalities. You are imprisoned by the shape-shifting aliens from the previous game and escape with help from some rebels through six huge levels (with multiple missions on some levels). The controls are a bit tricky but the game has good atmosphere and graphics. It manages to accomplish a nice blend of action and adventure a year before Tomb Raider came out and made a much bigger impact.

Future Dimension [G] Crew242 / Lifetimes [top]

This is a very cool arcade quality shoot'em up. The game features great fast graphics and nice in-game MOD music. There are 3D levels as well as the classic vertical and horizontal scrolling ones, making gameplay very varied and interesting throughout. Recommended if you're fond of shoot'em ups. Park your thumb on the first fire button to spray your shots and use the digipad or joystick to dodge the shots of your enemy and collect special symbols. With green symbols, you tune your four weapon types - but you can't switch them yourself - they change when you pick up a corresponding symbol. Other symbols give you extras like homing rockets or small satellites which circle around your ship and protect you against damage. With a second fire button you can use smart bombs to clear the whole screen. Each of the six big levels consists of three stages: A 3D, a vertical and a horizontal shooter stage. The programmers didn't skimp on the graphical effects: There is always something that explodes or presents something similar to the eye. Between the levels are rendered 3D cutscenes and bonus games which nod at classic games like Pac Man or Galaga.

Hi-Octane Bullfrog Productions, Ltd. / Electronic Arts, Inc. [top]

A futuristic racing game with hover cars, in the same line as Wipeout, using a modified version of the Magic Carpet 2 engine. The game was created from scratch in six weeks. Gameplay takes a straightforward approach, with the directional keys controlling the steering and throttle, and three keys to fire the minigun, missiles or charge the booster. While the minigun has unlimited ammo, both fuel, armour and missiles must be replenished by passing through some marked areas or picking up powerups in the track or by left destroyed opponents. While the vehicles float on the track they are still influenced by the ground material: they slow down on dirt and even more on water. Each track has a number of shortcuts or alternate routes that offer powerups, and some tracks feature gates and ramps that open or close randomly. Includes 9 tracks and several game modes (for Saturn owners and PC players with the 1.2 patch installed) such as single race mode (with option to change the number of laps), a Championship mode, Split Screen, Clone Race (beating the ghost of the best race time), Death Match (Where instead of finishing first what matters is finish alive and with the most kills) and Hot Seat, where up to eight players can compete in the same race by taking turns, with the computer taking control of the players' vehicles waiting for their turn. There are six hover cars to choose from: the fast Flexiwing and Outrider, the balanced KD-1 Speeder and Vampyr and the slow but armed to the teeth Berserker and Jugga. In addition to the natural capacity of each, their Minigun, Missle and Booster capacities can be upgraded by picking up powerups during the race. There are Eight teams to choose from, which change the colour of the vehicle: Mad Medicine (white), Bullfrog (aqua green), Storm Riders (purple), Fire Phreaks (orange), DethFest (blue), Foo Fighters (yellow), Gorehounds (red) and Assassins Anonymous (black). Bullfrog later released a PC Revision addon pack which included additional features made for the Saturn version. These extra features included more tracks: Ancient Mine Town (6 laps), Arctic Land (6 laps), Death Match Arena (5 laps) designed specifically for death match race. There's also Split Screen Single Race, and new game modes: Clone Race (the computer creates a clone of the player's car, programmed with the best ever lap. The best lap in each track is saved automatically), Death Match (using a set or infinite number of lives), Hot Seat (allows up to seven players to compete in a race at once, each player uses the same control pad and plays for the set up amount of time. The other players are controlled with an autopilot while they are not in control). The one noticeable disadvantage about this game mode is that the number of players playing Hot Seat will all have the same car, instead of separate cars. An external camera view is added, however without control of the car. You also hear your opponent's car sound while in this view even if there is no enemy car beside you.

Hover! Microsoft [top]

Hover! is a video game that came bundled with Windows 95. It was a showcase for the advanced multimedia capabilities available on personal computers at the time. While primitive by today's standards, Hover! was a landmark in home computer development. It is still available from Microsoft and can be run on all of Microsoft's operating systems released since Windows 95 including Windows Vista. It's a combination of bumper cars and capture the flag. It has three different mazes, repeated with gradient difficulty levels. They resemble a medieval castle, a futuristic city, and a sewer. Each maze has its own unique texture maps, music theme, and spawn locations. Across the top of the game window are the flag area, which indicates the number of flags in play. When the player captures a flag, the flag becomes solid; blue for the flags the player has collected, and red for the flags the drones have picked up. Next to the flag area is the rear view when enabled, and there's also the player's score. The middle window is the main view outside. The bottom of the window contains the object area which contains information about jump, wall, and cloak pods - number picked up, time remaining for that object, and the key associated with each. Also it has the map area, which is a bird's-eye view of the current playing field, and the craft area, which shows the remaining time the player is invincible to hold pads, skid pads, and flag removers; it also shows the direction the player's craft is moving, and its current speed. The map can be magnified and rotated. Flags are represented as blinking dots: blue dots are the player's flags and red dots are the enemy flags. Drones carrying flags are represented as yellow triangles, drones with no flags are blue triangles, attack drones are green triangles, and the red triangle in the center of the map is the player's craft. On October/2013, an updated browser version with brand new 3D graphics and touch gameplay could be played through Internet Explorer 11 or any other browser that supports the Web GL development standard, including Chrome and Firefox. It also offers multiplayer for up to 8 players. Also, if you type in "Bambi" (IBMAB was a string of letters that revealed a secret feature in the original game), you will be brought to the original game running on a Windows 95 desktop. All of this right in your browser.

Ice & Fire Animatek / Zombie Inc. / GT Interactive [top]

Promoted as the thinking person's Doom clone and created by Alexey Pajitnov and Vladimir Pokhilko (the authors of the reknown Tetris), Ice & Fire thrusts you into one maze world after another, forcing you to battle alien enemies as you explore each level, looking to free your cryogenically frozen compatriots. Level access is controlled by passwords found on earlier levels, so, until you find them or don't have all the keys, then you are stuck. All of these maze levels are contained in the larger framework of...another maze! This maze, on the outer surface of an asteroid, forces you to make split-second directional choices while flying and battling enemies. Thankfully, a map can be transposed over the screen (in all levels) to give you some idea of where you are. Regretfully, the controls in the larger maze are so unresponsive that, even when you know where you want to go, it's a real challenge to get there. The game is incredibly challenging, and puzzle buffs will be in absolute heaven. If you are looking for action, though, you'll likely find the enemies more repetitive than challenging.

Olmang Jolmang Paradise [K] Family Production / Gameland [top]

This is a Space Harrier-like arcade 3D shooter that allows one or two players to control characters from various Family Production. There are eight controllable characters in total: the two ships from Illusion Blaze; the two mechas from Iron Blood; the two anthropomorphic animal heroes from Pee & Gity; and Shakii with his wife from Shakii the Wolf. Each character has his or her unique weapons, such as boomerangs, throwing discs, guns, etc. Characters can also execute unique powerful attacks, which deplete their health: for example, Gity summons a giant crocodile head, Shakii's wife releases a swarm of flowers, and so on. Each pair of characters begins in a different stage, but eventually all of them share the same set. There are no power-ups in the stages themselves except money; however, the player can visit shops where this money can be spent on additional lives, sidekicks ("options"), tickets for a chicken race, etc.

A graphic programming tool with which you should be able to build your own 3d shooter. Not a very good layout but with many possibilities so you can customize your game with your own graphics. The engine is not very powerful but in 1995 it offered a useful tool for aspiring programmers. The engine was ported to Microsoft Windows and Direct X in 1998, as well as updating it beyond Wolfenstein 3D-like standards. In 2001 the third version of the engine was released, featuring true-3D polygonal enemies and weapons, 3D terrain, super lighting effects, and other improvements. The engine ceased being sold in May 2003.

People are fighting to excavate the star cores. Terran Hardlight Corporation is paying millions for this. You fight the others for control of the star cores, but in the midst of it all, your commerades are being trapped and captured by those other folks whom are willing to risk it all - even engage in all out space warfare. Pyrotechnica is a fun 3D action game that is a precursor to Interplay's blockbuster Descent in many ways (albeit not in popularity), not the least of which in smooth rotational graphics and similar goal: to find exit to the tunnel in each level while avoiding the enemies' weapons. The controls are a bit non-intuitive and the graphics confusing, but after you get the hang of it you'll find it a fun and addictive game, with ruthless computer AI and some very nice weapon effects.

After arriving in Flag City you can start taking quests and ridding the town of bad guys. Quarantine 2 is better looking than the first game and offers much more diversity. Although it has some clunky controls, fans of both shooting and cars will like this game.

Radix: Beyond The Void Neural Storm Entertainment / Epic Megagames [top]

Radix is very reminiscent of Descent: in a fighter you fly through spacestations destroying various opponents. Contrary to Descent however, Radix does not offer full 3D. You can alter your height but you can't move in all directions - maybe to the joy of all players who found Descent too difficult to control. The missions are varied and offer an acceptable amount of fun. Radix is noteworthy of one fact: in the multiplayer there was one little novelty: Capture The Flag. Briefings prior to the missions are quite useful and should be read. The game gets quite hectic because your ship, the Radix, is newly built and seems not to be fully developed. It's constantly in motion which tends to lead to some collisions. All in all not a bad game but quite frustrating through the control scheme and your (badly built) ship. Update v2.0 (a.k.a. "Radix Remix") introduces some radical changes to the game: new graphics, new and improved visual effects, new levels, better controls, improved physics, and 2 new weapon upgrades.

Rapid Assault GTE Entertainment, Synthetic Dimensions / IBM [top]

This is a first-person futuristic driving game. The plot is simple: as member of the futuristic police force, your job is to drive your trusty police vehicle to perform various missions assigned to you. Most of the missions don't stray from the typical and mundane, such as finding markers and various other objects or apprehending a criminal. The action is so-so, with most enemy cars equipped with weapons too weak to pose any real problem to you. The "arena" mode is available for anyone who wants a quick skirmish, but the action here is far too boring and the track too long (and direction arrows too confusing) to hold your attention for long. Overall, it's a dead-average game that doesn't bring anything new to the table, and the gameplay is much less interesting than, say, Quarantine or G-Police.

Shockwave Assault Crystal Dynamics / Electronic Arts, Inc. [top]

This combines Shock Wave and its expansion Operation Jumpgate and makes them available for systems other than the 3DO for the first time. In Shock Wave, the player takes the role of a rookie pilot, defending the Earth from an alien invasion. From the cockpit of the F-177 fighter, one shoots at the alien walkers and fighters with lasers and missiles, rearming and refueling at supply depots when necessary. The first mission will send you to Egypt across the Gizeh Valley and over Cairo where alien forces have been spotted. Your fighter can turn around 360 degrees, fly up and down, but you can't crash on the ground nor go to very high altitude. It is more like tilting the fighter's nose up and down than rather moving vertically. However, if you strike a structure on the ground like buildings or an enemy unit, you will suffer damages. You will use two different weapons during the game, the lasers and the missiles. The important thing you must remember is that you don't have unlimited ammunition to get rid of the aliens. There will be refuelling drones along your way to resupply you with fuel, ammunition and restore your shields. The fuel is to activate the thruster when you need a quick acceleration to escape some heavy fire. The story is told with live-action cutscenes. The game is divided in several missions (11 for Invasion Earth and 5 for Operation Jumpgate) located in various areas. While Invasion Earth is mostly based on Earth, Operation Jumpgate will send you to fight the aliens on Mars, Jupiter's moon Io, Saturn's moon Titan and finally on an asteroid near Neptune. When you die you can restart four times at the last mission you failed. You can also select the level of difficulty (easy, medium and hard).

Star Wars: Rebel Assault II - The Hidden Empire LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC [top]

Following his successes for the Rebel Alliance in the previous game, the adventures of the starfighter pilot "Rookie One" continue. While out scouting in the Dreighton Nebula, Rookie One's patrols receive a distress call from a freighter. As this is an area where ships are known to disappear, any deviation from the flight path is dangerous. But what they find is an Imperial presence where there shouldn't be one... and a new secret project to bring about the destruction of the Rebel Alliance. Rebel Assault II is a rail-shooter "interactive movie" featuring a variety of action sequences. Rookie One will fly sequences in an X-Wing, the Millennium Falcon, speeder bikes and being on foot. His only real ability is the precise targeting and shooting of laser weapon and occasionally the chance to take cover and avoid obstacles. Rookie One will team up with other characters who will aid him and need to be defended in turn. Occasionally different paths can be chosen in the animation and different events triggered, but for the most part the game is a closed environment.

Terminal Velocity (Velocity Brawl) Terminal Reality / 3DRealms [top]

A game in which you mainly fly just above the surface of some alien worlds. Once in a while however you have to pursue enemies up in the skies and down into a cavern. These enemies mainly consist of tanks and spaceships. Destroyed opponents and buildings tend to leave powerups which you can use to upgrade your ship and weapons. Not a complicated game, but entertaining if you have some excess rage left. The game was made by the former lead programmer of Microsoft Flight Simulator. At its launch, the game's all-digital soundtrack, great frame rates, and external environments set it apart. There's 9 totally unique planets, with 3 levels per planet, and dozens of tunnels. It has over 400,000 sq. miles of terrain - incredibly large levels. Plus, there's 7 destructive weapons, plus other power-ups. RemoteRidicule allows players to send digitized voice messages to other players. After a while, however, the same enemies and similar looking levels tend to get boring. The CD version has 70 Megs of 3D rendered cinematics, SVGA (640 by 480) support, high resolution replacement textures (add 16 times the graphics detail), the BONUS planet, and eight network player support. On Mar 14/2023, a Boosted Edition was released which runs the original game natively on modern systems with the Infernal Engine, rendering the original graphics with an improved HUD for widescreen displays.

Time Circle Soft-World International [top]

This behind-view shooter is in the style of the classic arcade game Cabal. The game offers you a choice of two modes of passage: story (劇情 模式) and space-time locations to choose from (單一 關 模式). There are five main locations in the game: 1896 — China, 1966 — Air Force base, 2006 — London streets, 2106 — cyborg hangar, and 2207 — some kind of drinking establishment inhabited by spiders, bats, and so forth. The storyline begins with a location in 2006. The tasks are very simple - you need to dodge the shots and grenades of the enemy, earning points by shooting at the enemy (as in a dash) in a limited game location. You can only move left or right. You yourself must actively work with dense fire on the enemy with pistols, machine guns, machine guns and other means of destruction. Be sure to pick up bonuses plentifully pouring from enemies. There are four heroes in the game to choose from: two men and two women. Two sexes (Jackson and Emmy) of them are recognizable and have already been described in the plot. The game can also be played together with a partner. The graphics are bright and colorful. It becomes especially colorful when you occasionally use a powerful grenade sweep of the battlefield. In addition to the grenade launcher, there are still picked up bonus super-features: an areal freezer and a time beam. Management can be chosen for the keyboard or mouse in the menu. Although the game is positioned in traditional Chinese, there are hieroglyphs there only in the plot part. Otherwise, everything is clear without superfluous inscriptions. The game is fascinating instantly, because the action here is very groovy - the developers are really great. For example, Taiwanese game makers have already taken the ancient game with b / w graphics - Battle City - as a basis , and at the output they got an excellent tank arcade - Battle of Europe . So this time, the four-color game Cabal gained its second extremely bright birth in 1995. Therefore, all the fans of Cabal and of other game antiquities, this is recommended.

Time On Target [K] Daekyo Computer [top]

The second and last non-educational game by Daekyo Computer was released roughly a year after Guarder and became one of the earlier Korean games that almost filled a CD-ROM, with prerendered animation. Director Son Hyeonggweon bluntly stated the target of imitating and improving on Lucas Arts' Rebel Assault formula, therefore Time on Target consists of a similar mix of 3rd person and cockpit view on-rails shooting sequences. In comparison with the former's then state-of-the-art video clips, ToT's presentation is a bit more primitive, rather playing in the same league with the Sega CD version of Psygnosis' Microcosm. Most backgrounds are kept simple and sterile, making repeated play of the same snippets over and again possible.

Tomcat Alley Code Monkeys Ltd., The / SEGA of America, Inc. [top]

This is one of the last of Sega's TruVideo games that were done for the SegaCD, featuring you and your F-14 Tomcat doing what you do best - dogfighting Russian Migs. This time, a renegade Soviet commander is threatening the United States with chemical weapons from his base in the Mexican desert, and its up to you and your wingmen to fine-tune your air-to-air combat strategies to make the entire western hemisphere safe again. Your plane, Shadow 5, is accompanied by your wingman, Shadow 3. The entire game is made up of live-action footage in which you must choose destinations, evade attacks, and, of course, shoot down enemy planes. It features what is called "Active Matrix" software, which allows for many different outcomes to any given situation. This means only one thing - much more interaction and variation than previous FMV (Full Motion Video) games.

Tube Bullfrog Productions, Ltd. [top]

Tube is a little known game from Bullfrog which was originally intended to be a test for a new Bullfrog employee. A unique concept in itself, Tube utilizes an old demo trick to simulate an endless forward-moving tunnel, along with some neat vector effects to simulate a long race track of sorts. In a nutshell you have to pick up speed in order to beat the track before your time runs out; you also have to destroy various obstacles in your way and collect weapon upgrades. Two players can play in split-screen mode. This game was never made into a title by Bullfrog and was released as a freeware game on cover CDs of various magazines. Each mag got its own unique variation: the logo of the respective publication appears as a wall texture in the game. Publications featuring the game included: PC Games (UK) issue 7, Feb 1995 and PC Player (Germany), April 1995.

Wipeout The Designers Republic / Psygnosis Limited [top]

Wipeout is a futuristic racing game set in the year 2052. Racing for one of four teams, the player competes in the F3600 Anti-Gravity Racing League on six tracks located in futuristic versions of countries such as Canada and Japan, with a seventh, hidden track set on Mars. Each team's hovercraft racer has different ratings in speed, acceleration and turning. In addition to high-speed racing, there is also shooting in the game, with different weapon pickups like rockets and mines available, useful for slowing one's opponents down. Shields can also be picked up and can block the weapons' effects. There are championship, single race and time trial modes. Winning the championship in the regular Venom class unlocks the Rapier class, where the craft are faster and the tracks have slightly different looks. There is also a two-player mode where two opponents can race and shoot at each other. The standard 1995 US version contains only the tracks from Cold Storage. The 1997 platinum release featured three extra tracks from Leftfield, Orbital and The Chemical Brothers. In 1996, an OEM edition of Wipeout was bundled with new Sony Vaio PCs utilizing ATI's 3D Rage chipset. This 3D accelerated edition using the ATI3DCIF API provided additional resolutions of up to 640x480 pixels as well as bilinear filtering. This version also made use of the 3D Rage's MPEG acceleration.

It features 16 different tracks, 8-player IPX network, 2-player modem or serial support, 4 selectable + 1 secret hovercars, 8 usable weapons, and 25 different enemies. The game is monotonous and has flat graphics. Although the tracks look different, all you do is speed around and blow up vehicle after vehicle.

Battledrome / Metaltech: Battledrome Dynamix / Sierra Online [top]

Battledrome is another release in Dynamix's MetalTech giant-robots universe. The game is strong enough to be able to stand on its own without the more popular Battletech license. Unfortunately, most gamers passed this by in favor of titles such as the MechWarrior brand. Designed primarily as a head-to-head giant robots fighting game, it succeeds in capturing the frantic, tonnage-for-tonnage feel of a giant robots deathmatch. The two-player aspect of Battledrome (network or modem) is a lot fun and ahead of its time as a predecessor to Activision's NetMech. Not surprisingly, the single-player mode is quite disappointing due to its lack of campaign or career mode of any kind.

This causes you to skip a mission if you don't like the sound of it, but if you use it too much command may get suspicious. The flight model is realistic, and there are some animations.

Deadly Skies (cancelled) Funcom [top]

This had the merit of being original, as it tried to mix two games that have little in common: "Afertburner" and "Street Fighter II". Eight opponents had to face each other in pitiless air duels. The steering is quite simple, and you can not go up or down more than 30 degrees. How do you do this in order to turn around quickly or make figures to avoid missiles? It's simple: special moves! Combinations of keys make it possible to realize these figures. To recharge energy or missiles, simply pass through the gates on the ground without crashing. When the adversary must do the same, he is more vulnerable. There are several types of weapons, it seems that we can only use one at a time. For PC, only a demo was made that only shows one map and two characters. There is no other trace of the game in the press, except for a cover and the test of the Saturn version in Sega Pro magazine, and only the PlayStation version seems to be released.

Another great addition is the Razor, an air-capable HERC with solid flight-sim controls (although it has limited altitude). Like in the first game, players can outfit and customize their HERC units between battles. The action is often fast and furious, and the game had one of the best explosion graphics seen at the time.

EF2000 Digital Image Design Ltd. / Ocean Software Ltd. [top]

EF2000 is a combat flight simulation video game released in December 1995 for DOS on the IBM PC compatible personal computer. It is the sequel to Digital Image Design's earlier software title, TFX. It was released after the introduction of Microsoft Windows 95 but only runs in DOS mode. It features the Eurofighter. The simulation featured detailed terrain of the Baltic region, featuring countries such as Norway, Sweden, Finland and some parts of Russia. The simulation supported early Virtual Reality goggles. Set in a fictional campaign against Russia, you are called into action when a Russian force attempts to take control of Norway and Sweden as a foothold to an invasion of northern Europe. You'll play through a variety of randomly-generated missions ranging from patrols to ground strikes. Included as well is a fairly extensive multi-player support, including network and modem play. Later in 1996, EF 2000: Special Edition was released which included the original game plus the TACTOM expansion. A Windows version of that compilation was called Super EF2000. In 1997, EF2000 v2.0 a US-only compilation of an updated DOS version of EF2000 and the Windows 95 version Super EF2000 was released. The DOS versions have optional 3D hardware accelerated support for 3Dfx Vodoo or Rendition Verite cards. The DOS versions also have a slightly different network functionality and cannot connect to the European version of EF2000/TACTCOM releases. The Windows 95 version is similar to the basic DOS EF2000 game and has DirectX support with software rendering. This US Windows 95 version is network play compatible with the European version of Super EF2000.

Frontier: First Encounters Frontier Developments Ltd. / GameTek, Inc. [top]

This is the sequel to Frontier: Elite II. It was originally intended to be an add-on disk for the second game, Frontier: Elite II. However, because they rushed that game, its engine could not handle expansion disks effectively. The engine was rewritten and the game was released standalone. Unfortunately, it was also rushed and filled with numerous bugs that made its initial release unplayable. You are a space pirate and you fly around through the universe in your space craft to fulfill different missions. You can also earn money by trading cargo with other races. It also has spying, bombing and a variety of other military activities; the combat ratings were also carried over from the previous games. It features realistic Newtonian physics and the ability to land on planets. It has graphics that are an improvement over Frontier (the main differences being Gouraud shading and more extensive use of texture mapping) and, as well as employing the same open-ended gameplay of its predecessors, it also features a storyline concerning an alien race called the Thargoids. New are journals that report on happenings within the known universe. It introduces hand-coded missions that add a storyline to further increase the player’s sense of immersion within the Elite universe. Unlike the various military missions which are randomly generated, these take the player through a linear series of events that starts with the “Wiccan Ware Race” and culminates in “Thargoid Missions” trilogy. Also unique is the ability to earn special ships that are not available to buy. These ships are given as rewards for completing missions; the ships are the Turner-class Argent’s Quest, the Stowmaster-class fighter (which comes with the Argent’s Quest, equipped as the escape pod) and the Thargoid Warship, given to you by the Thargoids at the completion of the “Thargoid Missions”.

Fury3 Terminal Reality / Microsoft Games [top]

This was released as one of the first titles designed with Win95's 32-bit abilities in mind. Similar to Terminal Velocity type of play, this flying shooter belongs more to this sub genre of FPS games. Even if it plays largely on the planet surface, there are some segments in cave systems. Opposite to Terminal Velocity it has some extra details like the map and the look of enemies is improved. Also there are more mission purposes which one must accomplish. Otherwise this is nothing that special.... Fury3 offers useful action entertainment without any shining success. The game is in full 3D without the need for a 3D video accelerator, though it only supports 320x200 resolution and preferably 256 color only.

Iron Assault Graffiti / Virgin Interactive [top]

In Iron Assault, all qualities of man and machine are forged into one. In the cockpit of your 50-foot tall fighting titan, intelligence systems feed the information needed to plot your battle plan. The External Camera supplies a view of the enemy from any allied robot. The Communication link keeps you in constant contact with your rebel squadron and base. The Compass and Way Point Coordinates keep you from getting lost in the variable terrain. And when your instincts tell you that danger is near, the robot comes through with his Radar and Movement Scanner to confirm your suspicions. The presentation of the game is the cockpit of the robot. It's a bit like the driving panel of an armored tank. You've got a major screen displaying what's going on in front of you and a minor screen on which you can display a rear view, the radar view, damage report, position of the locked target and so on. You have to complete the mission proposed to you and if completed, gains you promotions. There's a Sim' Room to practice the manipulation of the 'bot on numerous targets. You get to choose between two types of robots, and a number of different missiles (and you can discover some new ones during the missions). Driving a mega'bot is kind of slow (don't expect to avoid a coming missile at the last second). There are only four different set terrain types: Mountain, desert, arctic and city, and they are always the same wherever you go. Firing on the buildings in the city can damage them. The Italian developer then went on to make the Screamer racing game series.

K-1 Tank Taff System [top]

K1 Tank is an oldie but goodie first-person action game from South Korea. The game puts you behind the wheels of K1 tank, mainstay of South Korean army developed by Hyundai based on the design of the US Army's M1 tank. Although it looks like a simulation, K1 Tank is actually a straightforward first-person shooter similar to Accolade's Gunboat. There are two views possible: you can shoot the enemy tanks from inside the tank's cockpit, or handle the tank's rear anti-aircraft guns to down enemy helicopters. The gameplay is quite decent, but ultimately repetitive and shallow due to a lack of variety - every mission is essentially the same, only with different number of enemy units and some variations in terrain. In addition to being probably the world's only game to star the K1 tank, this was also the first ever South Korean game to be exported to Taiwan.

MechWarrior 2 Expansion Pack: Ghost Bear's Legacy Activision [top]

In this good expansion pack to Mechwarrior 2, a third clan is added to the game: the Ghost Bears. It's DOS only and, since it deals with a new clan, you have to start as a new cadet. The first mission helps set your difficulty level by having you fight a seemingly endless stream of opponents: however many you take out before going down determines how tough the following missions will be. After this, you're sent on about a dozen missions, linked by a story that revolves around the retrieval of the clan's stolen genetic heritage. These missions are tough and innovative, and include information gathering and some deep penetrations in which you'll need to use the same mech for several battles in a row. Activision has even tried their hand at making an underwater battle, which comes off feeling like regular Mech, only bluer. A similar fate befalls the "forest" scenarios, with trees that look more like telephone poles. Some new mechs, such as the Kodiak, Incubus, and Linebacker, help spice up the mix, as do killer new weapons like the anti-missile system, inferno missiles, torpedoes, and others.

MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat Activision [top]

You are the genetically engineered Clan Mechwarrior. The Clans are invading the Inner Sphere. Join either the Wolf Clan or the Jade Falcon Clan as they pursue their own agenda agianst the Inner Sphere and other Clans. Take your advanced Omnimechs into battle against all comers. Win high warrior ratings (by using less mech or smaller mechs than needed, completing objectives, etc.) and you'll get chance at a promotion trial where you face superior odds in an arena. If you win, you advance in rank - all the way up to Khan, leader of the Clan! Mechwarrior II was developed inhouse by Activision after being unimpressed with other developers efforts. While this time there are no dynamic campaign and mercenary actions, the Clan culture is integrated into the two campaigns. Different clans have different mechs and different rules, even different weapons. The full 3D environment wasn't pretty as this was before the 3D accelerators made their debut, but it's still better than anything that came before. When 3D cards came along, special versions (Titanium Edition) were created to take advantage of 3D texturing. Different battles have different goals: sometimes search and destroy, sometimes recon, base strikes, or other missions. In each mission you can outfit yourself with a custom Mech, which you can modify down to weapons loadout, heat sinks, engine, and so forth. Over a dozen Mechs are available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, and picking the right one for the job at hand can becrucial. With NetMech, you can play online with "team" games such as capture the flag, "steal the plans," and scavenger hunt, as well as last-mech-standing duels in cities, canyons and other locations. It's a tough, demanding game, with challenging controls and opponents. Maneuvering both the Mech and the turret can be a tricky proposition at times. With controls more like those of a flight sim, and a need for strategy & planning, it's not an average action game.
Later in 1996, a 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics version was released. And in 1997, The Titanium Trilogy was released. It contains all three MechWarrior 2 games with added support for Windows 95 and 3D accelerated video hardware. Including 16-bit graphics (as opposed to the original 8-bit), which vastly changed the look of the original game.

Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star Midnight Software, Inc. / Strategic Simulations, Inc. [top]

It's the far distant future (around the 67th century) and you've just been assigned to a small backwater supply district called Jacob's Star. You're an excellent pilot with a good battle record in the Renegade Legion but your reputation as a loner with suspect leadership skills has gotten you reassigned to this remote system. And your new Squadron Leader, "Mother", condones no breaches in authority or procedures. You must survive his evaluation in order to rejoin another front-line squadron. Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star is the story of an epic space battle pitting the Terran Overlord Government (TOG), originally made up of KessRith and Ssora factions, against The Commonwealth (an alliance between Humans and Baufrin), of which the Renegade Legion is a part. Times have changed and the KessRith are now Commonwealth allies (there are 21 Grand Dukedoms, eight of which have been captured by the TOG) as well. The TOG wants absolute dominion over all races and the Commonwealth, outnumbered, undermanned and helped only by the decentralization of the TOG forces (8 million legions, 50,000 men each) and the vast distance separating the systems, must fight back with a much smaller force, aided by various allies. With a huge array of ships, weapons, technologies, worlds and alien races to interact with, Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star is a mission based space flight simulation of epic proportions replete with wingmen, maneuvering, combat, exploration and more.

Slipstream 5000 Software Refinery, Ltd., The / Front Street Publishing, Gremlin Interactive Ltd. [top]

Conventional motor racing has yielded to the advances of thrust drive technology. Popularity for Slipstream racing is at its peak. Successful flyers quickly become icons and heroes. Race fans flock in their millions to the circuit-side stadiums hoping to catch a glimpse of the latest anti-grav machines which defy all laws of motion. The track's prepared, the crowd are hustling for the best seats and the drivers and commentators are all psyched and hungry for action. It's worth remembering that Slipstream was released on PC 6 months before WipEout appeared on the PlayStation and its blend of speed and smart 3D graphics with that all important playability still make it one of the most original and enjoyable PC racers around. There are ten exciting and varied circuits to choose from. You can fly through the Grand Canyon at over 300 mph or hurtle down the Thames past St Pauls and the Houses of parliament. The graphics still look fantastic and on a pentium, Slipstream really flies through an array of volcanoes, forests, canyons, beaches and bustling cityscapes. There are also ten different Slipstreamers to choose from, champions in their own right from across the globe. Each has their own unique vehicle that is honed to individual specifications and a unique personality that affects their strategy and tactics. A very nice feature is the ability of picking up weapons during flight to keep your opponents under control. You're able to upgrade your racer after every track. The CD version included extra speech.

Star Quest 1 in the 27th Century Virtual Adventures Inc. / Magicom Multimedia Corp. [top]

This is a shareware space combat flight simulation game developed by a Canadian company. The game offers a variety of different missions, including pure shooting action, tactical missions and even space racing. The graphics engine allows for smooth transitions between open space and planetary atmospheres, creating dynamically changing combat environments. The background story, which is recounted in detail in the game manual, suggests that after centuries of space exploration, humans and their allied sentient extraterrestrial species have eventually abandoned space travel, which was replaced by teleportation technology. However, the Centurions, a near-extinct hostile race that was thought to have been defeated in a war of the past, have suddenly started an offensive using remotely controlled drone spaceships to compensate for their dwindling numbers. In the face of an imminent Centurion invasion, the humans must learn to wage war in space once again. Taking the role of a volunteer pilot, the player needs to complete various missions which involve direct fighting, protecting friendly ships and ground structures, commanding allied attack formations, and also participating in non-violent space races against fellow pilots. There is no campaign mode, but instead a number of missions which can be played in any order, and re-played an unlimited number of times on different skill levels. As the player completes more missions, better engines, weapons and ship upgrades become available, and more missions are unlocked. It's highly customizable, and allows to tweak ship controls and behaviour to suit individual playing preferences. There is an elaborate system of difficulty levels and a special exploration mode that allows the player to preview a level without engaging in combat or completing other objectives.

Star Wars: Tie Fighter Collector's CD-ROM LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC [top]

This compilation includes the campaigns from the original game Star Wars: TIE Fighter, the three campaigns from the add-on Star Wars: TIE Fighter - Defender of the Empire and also three new, never before released campaigns in a second add-on called Enemies of the Empire. In total there are more than 100 missions to fly and survive. In addition to the new missions, there are also some technical improvements to the game: improved screen resolution to SVGA (640*480), added new cut scenes, full voice mission briefings and radio calls (the so called "Talkie" version), and improved the interactive mission briefing. In 1998, Star Wars: X-Wing Collector Series included an enhanced version to run optimally under Windows 95/98, and now 3D accelerated graphics. But it omits many of the small movies and animations found in the Collector's CD-ROM and original floppy disk editions. It does not use the iMUSE interactive MIDI soundtrack from the original game release and the Collector's CD-ROM edition, which is instead replaced by the static Red Book audio-based John Williams movie soundtrack. Furthermore, while previous versions could be played satisfactorily with only a mouse and keyboard, the Collector Series required a joystick to run the game.

Vertigo Anton Norup Sorensen [top]

This is a flight simulator that is focused on highly realistic simulation of piloting an airplane, with almost no emphasis on combat, although it is present in a very limited form. The game offers a selection of various propeller, jet and rocket engine aircraft: Grumman F-14A Tomcat, British Aerospace Sea Harrier, Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, Lockheed U-2, Vought F4U-1, Corsair, Saab MFI-17 Supporter, North American X-15A-2, Grumman Lunar Module 5. The game simulates realistic flying conditions and aircraft behaviour. Some factors like wind or realistic propeller/jet engine simulation may be turned off in the game menu, so as to simplify controls for less experienced users. There are no missions or scenarios, but the player can select various starting conditions, including whether the aircraft is on the runway, on an aircraft carrier, approaching landing, about to land or in flight at high altitude. Time of day may be also specified. From here, various manoeuveurs can be tried out, from a simple test flight to the highly complex carrier landing. If the Lunar Module is selected, the objective is to land it on the surface of the moon. The use of weapons is limited to target practice using the cannons, available if the real-life counterpart of the selected aircraft has those. Cannon fire is also simulated with a high degree of realism, and accuracy will depend on various factors like aircraft velocity and position relative to the ground. Vertigo was developed as a free, open source program, with the code released under the GNU General Public License. It was originally inspired by another public domain flight simulator, Fly8.

Werewolf vs. Comanche 2.0 NovaLogic, Inc. / Softgold Computerspiele GmbH [top]

The sequel to NovaLogic's Comanche is actually two games in one: Werewolf and Comanche 2.0. Both are action-based helicopter sims very similar to the original Comanche. A notable difference is that in some missions you are allowed to land and refill your helicopter with fuel and ammo. The only real difference between the two games is the helicopter you fly: either the RAH-66 Comanche or the Ka-50 Hokum. There's an option to link both games to play over a network. They use the voxel graphics engine made by NovaLogic in 1993. Both games were later released on their own in budget versions.

Wings Of Glory ORIGIN Systems, Inc. / Electronic Arts, Inc. [top]

The year is 1916, the dawn of the first World War. New pilots are being trained in use of the airplane, a still relatively new flying invention that may yet have some military value. Certainly the German army is using them, and therefore it's up to the British to respond. Stationed in a small airfield in the town of Thetford, England, a small group of pilots have been transfered from the allied countries to form a squadron and fight against German forces. Wings of Glory is one of the relatively few World War 1 flight simulators. It is played in 1st person, with 3rd person camera options and uses Origin's RealSpace Engine. In the main campaign, players start as a fresh rookie pilot, newly transfered to England. Players can have conversations with other pilots,check the kill board for the entire squadron or commence the next mission. Missions begin with a briefing explaining the objectives and then players are put in the front seat of their aircraft. They must take off, reach the appropriate waypoints, perform the objective and return home to land. All planes have a machine gun, of varying capacities , which fires in front of the plane. Some planes are also able to carry bombs. There is no radar or other detection method on the planes, so players must be alert to oncoming enemies. In addition to the usual campaign mode it also featured a "Gauntlet mode" where the player faces a never-ending wave of successive waves of enemy aircraft. The goal of Gauntlet mode is simply to last as long as possible. The game also features a mission designer to create custom scenarios.

Xenocracy Simis Limited / Grolier Interactive Inc. [top]

Xenocracy is a cross between a space combat action sim and a political strategy game. In the far future, four planetary superpowers (the Earth Dominion, the Mercury League, the Venus Alliance and the Mars Combine) are vying for control of the solar system and on the brink of all-out "thermostellar war". As commander of the United Planet Nations peacekeeping fighter squadron, your role is to maintain the balance and prevent cold war and localized conflicts from escalating into open interplanetary hostilities. Further complicating the matter, you must deal with pirates and a looming alien threat. As each planetary superpower launches low-intensity strikes (as opposed to open warfare) against the colonies and outposts of the other three, you are presented with the choice, via a strategic solar system map showing flaring geopolitical hotspots, of which to aid. If you aid one superpower too much at the expense of the others, as one is first tempted to do, you upset the balance and cause the war you sought to prevent. Whichever you choose, afterward you are realistically presented with complaints and political propaganda from the other three superpowers, and receive news broadcasts concerning the interplanetary geopolitical wrangling. In addition to keeping the peace, you also manage research and development of newer and more powerful technologies, which will eventually prove crucial. Several fighter and weapon types are available, and the scenery varies from asteroid belts and dust clouds to planetary surfaces. You may choose from several wingmen, each with a personal description and personality type, whom you must do your best to keep alive. Missions include such tasks as defending mine complexes from attack (or attacking them) and protecting convoys (or destroying them). The game also allows Arcade Mode, in which you simply fly missions without regard to the strategic aspects of the game, and multiplayer games of up to 8 players over TCP/IP or serial connections.

ShootEm Up 2D/3D

40080 Lee Minsik [top]

A short but curious Korean shoot 'em up, which can be both very simple and very difficult - depending on the settings you have set. The ship flies from left to right, and on its way there are various ill-wishers who must be mercilessly destroyed. Moreover, the intensity of the confrontation is growing rapidly, even at the slowest speed set: here we shoot asteroids, after ten seconds some mobile square platforms are firing at us, another ten - a surviving warship. In addition to the pace of the game, the number of lives also lends itself to tuning, at loss of which the level will have to start anew. Graphics do not shine, but it can not be called bad either: each level has an individual design, the species composition of opponents has about a dozen variations, which is a lot considering the modest scale of the game.

Abaron Tantalus Software / Procom Datentechnik GmbH [top]

Humanity lost the big war against the alien empire and had to leave Earth and its solar system behind. Now, after over three hundred of hard life inside of space stations, they managed to build a small fleet of space ships and set out to find a new planet to call their own and destroy the empire in the process. The player takes the role of one of those ships. Abaron is a vertically scrolling shooter: the player can move the space ship in four directions, shoot the equipped weapon in order to kill alien ships and dodge their bullets to avoid losing the ship's life-energy. Extra equipment has to be purchased by collecting credits chips which are left behind by pre-determined enemies. Depending on how many were gathered, another weapon is available for purchase with a button press, e.g. three credits give a pulse laser and seven credits a shield. Some of the weapons can be upgraded by buying them more than once and if the player has bought multiple weapons, they can be cycled through. When more than ten credits are collected, the count is set to zero and extra points for the high-score are rewarded; another way to improve the high score is to collect stars which are randomly left behind by killed enemies. The ship has only one life and there are no continues, but the game can be saved at the beginning of each level.

Ack-Ack Attack! PLBM Games [top]

This is a Paratrooper game clone where the object is to shoot down enemy paratroopers as they drop from planes. The player takes control of a turret and can change its angle. It is however fixed in the middle of the screen. There are three difficulty levels. There are no bombers, and therefore no threat of destruction of the turret by a direct hit of bombs. But the number of enemies landed shall not exceed four, or they organize sabotage group and destroy our only means of air defense. The landing of enemy paratroopers is not fatal. They can be destroyed by shells (there are four types), flying on a parabolic trajectory, or if they are hit by falling fragments of the downed helicopter. Wasting ammunition, even though it's unlimited, will punish you at end by removing points that affect the final score. Initially a shareware game, in 2007 it was made freeware.

Air Support Sergey Tkachenko [top]

This is a small arcade game where you play as a small aircraft that can shoot bullets or bombs. We begin our movement at the Government Building and move into the forest. In the forest, we meet alien flying saucers, spaceships, as well as robots. We are supported by tanks. You can fly both left and right or up and down. We can shoot bullets at flying saucers and spaceships, but at robots - only bombs. You have an infinite number of weapons, but sometimes you need to wait a bit for them to recover. The goal of the game is to destroy enemy alien equipment while protecting your tanks. When the tanks arrive at the alien lair, you win. If the alien robots are the first to arrive at the Government House, you have lost. You have three hearts of lives, after the loss of which you also lose. The game can be paused. The launch takes place in a small window. It's just a nice little game that you can while away 10 minutes.

Airstrike Alexander Martin [top]

This is a sidescrolling shooter featuring an Apache-like helicopter, taking part in a series of missions in a war between the 'North Atlantic Defence Alliance' and a country called 'Dosnovia'. You primary base is on an aircraft carrier off shore from Dosnovia, and you are given specific targets to take out during a mission. The enemy consists of soldiers carrying missiles, gunboats, AA guns, radar stations and missile batteries placed in and around the ordinary houses and woods inland, and a selective approach is recommended to gain most points on each mission. Bombing innocent trees counts as wanton destruction, and gives negative scores. The map wraps around after a stretch of land, and you end up back over your carrier, where you can land and automatically replenish your missile supplies and repair the helicopter if damaged. After completing a mission, you get a debriefing with positive citations and negative reprimands, if you damaged other than the enemy. If you fail a mission, you get an option to retry it. Giving up sends you halfway back to start from where you were in the mission list. There is a total of 21 missions in the game, which originally was intended as a sprite demo, but evolved into a full shareware game.

AUTS: The Ultimate Stress Relief Game Jaakko Lyytinen / KUDOS [top]

While TurboRaketti (released on Amiga in 1992) was The Game that gave birth to the "cave flier" genre that grew incredibly popular especially in Finland in the 90's, AUTS was a simple, yet elegant clone of TurboRaketti for PC's that launched a whole horde of further cave flier clones and cave flier inspired games, a trend that went on nearly for a whole decade. AUTS (Finnish for "ouch") is a 2-4 player side scrolling game on split screen, where players control V-shaped space ships and try to destroy each other with bullets and a secondary equipped gun that can be chosen from an arsenal of two dozen imaginative weapons. Players can recharge their energy and switch weapons on landing pads spread throughout the levels. Levels were bitmap images with a key-color which indicated a space where the ships can fly. A dedicated color from the palette for water was also included, but water didn't flow as in some more modern cave fliers (like in Wings). Players were able to construct new levels with a tool that converted bitmap images into a format understood by the game.

Baryon ACRO Studio / CDV Software Entertainment AG [top]

This is a straightforward vertical shooter which features a smooth graphical engine, a short digital sound track and various types of enemies. There are two types of ships, each with its own weapon types, as well as missile upgrades (homing as well as regular, more powerful ones), bombs and shield. The shareware version of Baryon features only one level, but the registered version promises more action-packed levels with more enemy types. The graphics are great and very detailed. The assortment of enemy vehicles, the backgrounds, and the textured landscape are superbly rendered. The music and sound are very good. It's one of the most visually appealing shooting games in its time, with tons of special effects, neat details and whole screens full of explosions. There is a price to pay for the furious presentation, though, as Baryon runs in a weird (for VGA, anyway) 256x200 screen mode, and not all graphics card handle it equally well. The overall presentation is just stellar, even excelling the contemporary genre reference Raptor: Call of the Shadows, with which it also shares similar aesthetics. Game mechanics are completely different, though. As an uncompromising arcade action fest, it does without any of the management elements of its competitor and concentrates on plain and simple shooting. There are two ships with different weapon systems, which can of course be manned by two players simultaneously. There's not much to the upgrade system, as its just two main and secondary weapons each, besides the obligatory smart bombs. It's strength, however, lies in its functionality, and there's no such thing as a useless choice. Stages are rather long, but there's always so much going on that they hardly ever get boring. Only the bosses are a bit disappointing, some of them even ridiculously easy, at least on the slowest setting. One of them literally just sits there waiting to be destroyed after all its weapon systems are obliterated. In place of selectable difficulty modes, it lets the player set the speed the game runs in, from almost slow motion to literally inhumanly fast. By default, the game is almost easy to beat. It is also more forgiving than most Korean PC shmups, despite the strict limitation to 4 credits. Still, even though it is not too much of a chore to eliminate the enemies, players aiming for high scores are pressed to also catch the red diamonds dropped by certain enemy types, which more often than not lead into own set death traps.

Blue Falcon / Pureun Mae [K] Byulbram [top]

This is the first game by the developer not to be made by Kim Gwangsam alone. He nonetheless played a very pivotal role in the process, not only directing the game, but also responsible for the concept, graphics and music. Its concept might be one of the most unconventional among Korean developed games. The most fitting description would be "squadron based 360 degree 2D shooter". On a limited stretch of sky, one engages into dogfights with hostile planes. One isn't facing the task alone, however, but takes the role of Wing Commander. Before every mission, a group of pilots is selected, and aid the player either in formation or in free flight. The view is close to the plane, so orientation has to be based solely on the radar. The game takes quite a while getting used to for this reason. One highlight of the game is definitely its soundtrack.

After a few less than impressive experiments in different genres, Mirinae's second vertical scrolling shooter once again delivered the quality gamers had gotten used to by their shmup's. The game features a system around three upgrade- and switchable weapon systems. The animations and especially the scrolling are incredibly smooth this time around, and this might just be one of the technically most well-rounded 2D shooters for DOS. After the game's release, Mirinae immediately began development of a direct sequel, but the second game didn't make it to retail.

Charm Rocks Alexander Kochetov, Sergey Enyutin, Eric Alekseev / Doka Media [top]

This is an interesting action game that resemble sa combination of board game and whack-a-mole. The objective is to catch as many 'imps' as you can. You need to shoot the imps with your magic bow before they succeed in pilfering your 'charm rocks' that scatter around the board and bringing them back to their world. And to make things even more difficult: each shot you miss will open up a new hole in the board, from which more imps will come through. If your missed shot lands in an already-opened hole, the imps will come through at a faster rate. To close opened holes, you must kill all the imps of the same color from the board. The game is over when all your charm rocks have been stolen, or if you successfully close all the holes. You can multiply the number of charm rocks on the board by hitting the imp that is carrying a charm rock precisely when it is standing on a tile that has another rock - any rock that touches each other will multiply itself to surrounding tiles. And last but not least, if your arrow misses the imp but hits its shadow, you will effectively sever the shadow and make it come alive. These shadows are a big nuisance because they will go on the same rock-hunting spree as their "hosts," and the only way to kill them is to kill their hosts. After the first few minutes, you will start to see dozens of imps - and that is when it gets intense, frantic, and quite fun.

You fight enemy spaceships using six different types of missiles which home in on the nearest target, so you have to be careful not to destroy your own friends... The game is turn based, but with missiles homing in on your tail, enemy ships weaving to get out of your line of sight and sirens screaming warnings at you it can get pretty frantic. The game was later made freeware.

Dagger's Rage Microforum International [top]

This is a sci-fi action adventure that tries to capitalize on the market made popular by games like Elite and Privateer. You are a mercenary with your own starfighter, and it's up to you to stop a new pirate menace that has been ravaging the shipping lanes and innocent people of the United Planets. You choose your own missions and contracts, and uncover the plot as you progress. As you win more contracts, you gain more funds to purchase new ships and weapons. The main difference between Dagger's Rage and another game that might be compared to it - i.e. Privateer - is that this is less a space sim and actually is quite arcade-ish. You control your ship through a top-down view, and combat plays like a toned-down shooter such as Tyrian. Battles take place on various planets and in space. The terrain, however, is 3D.

Day 5, The: Assault Dragon Mirinae Software Inc. / Gameland [top]

This is a horizontally scrolling sci-fi shoot-em-up and (in spite of the number in its title) the fourth installment in the Korean-made series. The gameplay is similar to the predecessor in allowing the player to choose between two pilots, or have two players defend Earth against an onslaught of mechanical aliens cooperatively. The male pilot (Kim Jin-hyeok) pilots a craft called Miru Fighter, while the female pilot (Kim Mi-ri) controls the Miru Base. The weapon and power-up system is similar to that of The Day II. Like in Icarus, the two spaceships can be combined into one mecha, with one player controlling its movement and the other firing its weapons. The side-scrolling environments have depth, with a 3D-like perspective that allows enemies to move into the screen.

In-game there's the possibility to select alternative shoots to the default one (and shields too, by the way), for which you would have a Gradius-like system of accumulating power-ups and just activating them if you wish. Also, at the end of each level you can buy weapons with the points you have obtained from killing enemies.

Duck Hunt Creators of Intense Art [top]

This unofficial DOS version shoots for a faithful reproduction of the 1984 Nintendo original which used a Zapper Light Gun and was ported to arcades in following year - that is, as faithful as possible using ANSI graphics, but that is to be expected from an artscene group like CiA. Here, too, the player sets out for the great outdoors with his loyal hunting dog, plentiful ammunition, and a craving for dead ducks. Of the original game modes, only "Game A" is implemented: each round consists of ten ducks that take turns making solo flights across the sky, one after the other, and have to be shot down for points. If time or bullets run out, the duck flies away (and the player must suffer the hound's schadenfreude). The flying targets get faster with each successive round, and fewer misses are tolerated; fail to nail enough of them and it's game over. All game sounds consist of samples that have been lifted wholesale from the NES title.

Expunger (cancelled) David Friedman [top]

A technical demo of shoot'em'up, which does not have a final version, and not at all because this is one of thousands of those games whose authors promised a lot but did nothing. No, in this case, the developer honestly wrote in ReadMe that he never planned to create a full-fledged game. The first thing to note is the excellent graphics style. You will have to fly not in a boring and, in most cases, nondescript space, but over a certain landscape of artificial origin (and maybe not artificial) - gray stone structures with clear boundaries, located on red earth (or lava). The drawing of participants in futuristic shootouts is also pleasing. Since this is still not a full-fledged game, there won't be much variety. Two types of enemies: some shoot missiles, others try to ram. The latter are spherical and suspiciously resemble eyeballs. All of them are safely destroyed by the cannon installed on our ship. But with the boss, everything is different: his reserve of health is huge. Expunger is a wonderful shmup with beautiful graphics, addicting gameplay and good authoring ideas. That is, it could be all of this if he developed into a full-fledged game. Either way, this demo will surely appeal to fans of the genre.

Heavy Combat Scott Bias [top]

This is a shareware military action-arcade "static" type. We're playing a lone soldier in the trenches, depicted in the lower part of the screen. Hiding behind the parapet, his task is to eliminate enemy soldiers hiding in the opposite trenches and (or) appear on the battlefield. Sounds pretty simple, but in reality the game is diverse and complex. Let's start with the fact that you have two types of weapons: machine gun and throwing knives, which can throw with both hands. Like bullets and knives is finite, so when they run out, will have a radio to call a helicopter to get rid of extra ammunition, the pilot will be so generous that will give you additional "life" (you start with three). Please note that to use the radio you have to stand (for some reason, the squat can't have it) and not have to hold in the other hand weapons. Because the version of complete (shareware always available only two weapons), may eventually have access to three types of weapons: hand grenades (ten killing enemies), rocket launcher (with 20 kills, grenade is much superior in strength and attack range, and can penetrate the parapet), Bazooka (30 murders, more powerful than a rocket launcher, blows, but does not break the parapet). There is such a thing as "sabotage". In shareware version there is only one of their kind - the challenge of enemy aircraft. Unlike you, your opponent can call on the radio a plane that will drop a bomb on you. Because use of radio opponents in this game, same as you should stand up, you should try to kill him to complete the message for help. If that did not happen, the plane will fly, but the radius of destruction have dropped their bombs not too big, so you can try to have time to run away from it, but to really make it difficult. The full version adds two more types of diversions: jeeps and bombers. A jeep appears on the field (usually outside) and suddenly "cuts" on the screen; its crew consists of a driver with which nothing can be done, and an arrow with a stationary machine gun in the back. With driver separately nothing can be done, but an arrow can kill from a machine gun or jerking the knife. Bazooka (but not flare) capable of aimed shot to destroy the jeep entirely. Furthermore, you can just hide behind the parapet and wait for the jeep to pass, but to get it you theoretically can. Suicide bombers are the same - very dangerous guys, hung with dynamite. Kill them quickly as the only way to escape is to do it at a safe distance. Graphic solution selected is atypical: the background is a photo of some muddy field on the upper sides of which are placed as if deliberately crudely drawn enemy soldiers (in gray, above) and your (green at the bottom, visible only from the back), perched behind their parapets. However, despite the visual simplicity, there is not only the effects of explosions (from the Bazooka, it should be noted, very colorful), but also emotions: the expression of the enemy with your mouth open. when you get into it, you just need to see... By the way, the effect of blood in the game is too, so maybe very young children, it will not work.

Impact Neurotech Software [top]

A beautiful, but unfortunately, almost unknown action-platformer. We play as a strange-looking hero - a long-haired, battered-looking man who most resembles a stereotypical monster hunter. He is armed with a futuristic gunshot and a weapon (at the start of the game - a kind of blaster), but the world in which he is going to act is not very similar to either futuristic or fantasy: these are some rocks with rare trees and protrusions, where the main enemies are giant spiders, flying insects and other similar creatures, although from a certain point there will be unusual wizards. It will probably be fair to say that this game does not make any revolution in the genre, because everything is fairly standard: run and jump, shoot, eventually find a much more powerful weapon, periodically collect bonuses (for example, the bonus in the form of the letter "E" restores significant the amount of health - the hero himself, fortunately, does not die at all from one blow, there are many other utilities - say, temporary invulnerability). Among the peculiarities, we can only note that we should climb and descend along all sorts of flimsy ladders at least here than jump (although there will be enough jumps, including, for example, endangered platforms). The hero’s initial ammunition seems to be infinite (but his subsequent views are by no means), and he can shoot not only to the sides, but also upwards, and also at that moment. The main advantage of Impact is, of course, absolutely magnificent drawn graphics - as applied to backgrounds and their detailing (although there is little variety, but you can’t call it a disadvantage), or in relation to the display of the hero and his opponents. The game is very rare, so for most fans of combat platformer will certainly be a great and unexpected gift and discovery.

Inordinate Desire Croteam, Virtual Arts / Black Legend Software GmbH [top]

This is a turn-based strategy game with action elements. As commander of a spaceship carrier you have to conquer foreign planets. Every day is represented by a round. In the beginning of a round you are in your carrier and have these options: Buy new units, send pilots on patrol, repair ships and look at statistics. When this is taken care of you use your spaceship and fly to the planet. There you can give orders to your units and tell them to move or shoot. Yes, move or shoot - a unit can't do both in one round. Because you can't see the condition of the hostile units you have to act blindly. Additionally you can build deposits and radar units on the planet. The deposits are used to repair damaged units and with the radar units you start air strikes - but the radius is low, so you are more likely to kill your own troops. At the end of the round all your orders get evaluated. Sometimes your carrier gets attacked by one hostile spaceship. Then you have to kill the attacker in a simple action sequence similar to Wing Commander: You sit in a spaceship and shoot rockets.

Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom Pop Software [top]

This game, despite its cheesy name, is one of the cutest shoot-'em-up style games ever made for the PC. There's not much to tell about the game, simply because it's very straightforward. You take the role of a lone starship pilot, who happens to encounter the "Dreaded Space Bats of Doom" on a routine assignment in outer space, and are all that stands between them and the invasion of Earth. The game consists of 66 stages, arranged in some sort of pattern (for example, every type of bats you encounter takes 3 stages to pass, each of three introducing new challenges). Once every several bats you kill you get one of four bonuses - purple gems, 6 of which grant you another life, a green gem which makes your missiles faster, a red one which gives you additional missiles per round, or a white gem which grants you a time-limited "hyper" mode. The game is very addictive and challenging, and the cliche' name/plot makes it a refreshing change from all the typical Space Invaders clones.

This shump, originally on X68000 in 1993, is composed of two distinct sets, each with a very different background. The first ranks in the category of Cut'em Up, with colorful shots, silly and stupid to perfection but so endearing. The scenario takes on two lines, the first part is based on a simple but original and effective gameplay mechanism. In addition to upgradable weapons you have, your craft is tracked by a module modeled as a leech. This module has several utilities and functions as follows: your creature will grow as you destroy more enemies. In practice it will just make sure to place it in front of an enemy, so that it gobbles it. So what good is it to feed? Well your first module can also shoot and of course, the more it gets bigger, the more powerful the shot will be. But that's not all, this module also protects you from enemy fire, and so the fact of hiding behind will in a lot of situations to save your skin. Hence the importance of controlling it. Do not be fooled by the appearance of childish graphics, the difficulty is quite high and to reach the final boss will not be easy, the high number of levels are not easy things. It has original gameplay, impeccable and long living technology, but the second part is completely different regarding the graphic aspect of the game, with bioorganic monsters influenced by R-Type. The gameplay remains substantially the same as the first part. Your machine is equipped with new modules, but you have two that are arranged on either side of your ship. These two modules can be drawn, must be fed with enemies, the more they eat, the more the shooting they will be powerful. There is still a new element that is important, the number of enemies you swallow correspond to the number of balls that your bugs spit. So it will ensure to always be at full strength to be able to beat some enemies, including level end boss which have the merit of giving you a hard time.

Maelstrom Andrew Welch / Ambrosia Software [top]

This was first released as shareware in November 1992 for Mac OS. The game is an enhanced clone of Atari, Inc.'s 1979 Asteroids arcade game with a visual style similar to the Atari Games 1987 sequel, Blasteroids. Maelstrom was released when there were few action games for the high-resolution color displays of the Macintosh, so it garnered much interest, despite the dated concept, and led to the creation of Ambrosia Software. It's played in a 2D overview in a section of space. The object of the game is to reach the highest score possible by shooting asteroids with a plasma cannon from a spaceship. The ship can move in any direction across the screen and also has a limited amount of shield. The player may also pick up power-ups and encounter unusual objects and enemies throughout the game. Welch gave the source code to Sam Lantinga, who created a SDL port and released it in 1995. It included networked multiplayer. In 1999 Ambrosia Software released Latinga's version 3.0 as open-source software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). In 2010, Andrew Welch and Ian Gilman released the game's contents under the free Creative Commons license Attribution, which makes Maelstrom completely free and open-source software.

Mikan Sunflat [top]

Monstrously complex vertical shmup originally from Japan (but in English), which, despite the simplicity of the gameplay reaching the level of primitiveness, may well be called original. e race on a lonely ship somewhere in space, fighting ... fruit. Either tangerines fly in rows, forcing us to maneuver between them, firing in parallel, then oranges appear in pairs, shooting balls three jokes at a time, then grapefruit suddenly appear, chasing us from behind, firing in all directions. Actually, everything is the same as in a regular shmup, only fruits instead of enemy ships. The whole gameplay is to survive in this fruit chaos. There are no bonuses, the type of weapon is only one, the background of the whole game does not change. Our ship has nine lives; after the loss of each (except the last), the game does not stop, the number simply decreases. Literally a minute or two after the start of the gameplay becomes extremely difficult due to the large number of opponents and shells fired by them, so only experienced players can last longer. Both the drawing of objects and special effects were performed very modestly - but the graphics can in no way be called bad. It’s just such a style, and it is good in its own way. All shots and explosions are voiced.

Prairie Dog Hunt Pro Diversions Software Inc. [top]

This is a single player shooter. It is the third game in Diversions Software's Prairie Dog series. Prairie dogs, genus Cynomys, are burrowing rodents native to the grasslands of North America. They are a pest and this game is all about blasting them as they run from burrow to burrow, a bit like a Whac-A-Mole game with guns. There are two kinds of game play, the timed mode and the open season mode. Both are essentially the same but only the timed mode scores are added to the highscore table. The game has sound effects, sniper scope, variable game speed, a high score table and three difficulty levels. Aiming and shooting is mouse controlled but the keyboard is used to vary the scope's magnification. The open season mode and the ability to change the size of the ammo clip are not available in the shareware version.

Preben på Eventyr Jesper Hansson & Theis Søndergaard [top]

This is one of the most addictive three-minute games you'll ever come across. You play Preben, a wannabe shooter at the bottom of the screen. Your goal: score as many points as possible in three minutes by shooting flying green elephants and killer bees. While elephants cannot kill you since they fly overhead, killer bees fly straight at you and can kill you long before the three minutes are over. That's all there is to this Danish game. So what makes it so special? The answer lies in Preben's ingenious scoring system that will keep you replaying again and again. Each bee you kill gets you three points. But for elephants it is much more complicated: the points you get for shooting an elephant depends on how long it's been on the screen (i.e. the faster you shoot it, the more points you get), your gun's position, and even whether or not you shoot the elephant after it reaches the midpoint of the screen. Preben has five different positions he can be in when shooting an elephant. In addition to this neat scoring system, the game has a very comprehensive statistics feature you can use to analyze and improve your game. Here you can see in what positions you tend to shoot the elephants, how many hits and misses there were, how your points are spread during each fifteen-second segment, and your overall efficiency (i.e. your score as a percentage of the maximum possible score in that game). You can see the same statistics for the game's all-time top ten scorers, so hopefully you will discover how these people can get 2,000+ points. If you find the game difficult, you can choose between five different levels of difficulty. You can also customize your own level by using the 'User-defined' option. All in all, Preben is simple to learn, yet maddeningly addictive. A Special Christian Edition only alters the enemies from elephants with wings to elephants flapping their ears, and from bees to beer bottles. Preben på Eventyr 2000 was released in 2001 that runs on WinXP.

Prototype Surprise! Productions / Max Design GmbH & Co. [top]

This is a side-scrolling shooter. Controlling a cutting-edge prototype craft, you must save the world from an alien attack. The ship has 4 different, always available, weapon systems. This makes the game a little bit more tactical than other shooters. Some enemies leave energy pills. These pills are necessary to upgrade your weapon systems four times. The game has 5 different (and long) levels, including mountain and forest settings plus another planet. The game boasts excellent multi-parallax scrolling graphics with amazing illusion of depth. One of the game's strengths is that the number and pattern of enemies change from game to game, which give the game an excellent replay value since no two game will be exactly the same. On the downside, the enemies - especially end-level "bosses" - are neither as imaginative or challenging as h-shooter classics. The range of weapons you have is also a bit too limited, with many weapons being just small variations of the standard gun. Still, the excellent production value, smooth animations, and even an outstanding soundtrack (over 30 minutes of original music) makes this old game far above your average shooter. Recommended for action fans, especially those who like graphical details in the scenery. In Prototype, there are no extra lives. You have only one life, but you can always save your game.

Be prepared to fight mercilessly, take no prisoners and settle the score - it's up to you to save the galaxy in the ultimate intergalactic war. Before starting the game, you must first buy a ship and this or that weapon and armor on it with the available small starting capital, then choose a mission (the choice here is very interesting - first you need to get to the city by taxi and only then proceed to choose the task). The essence of the tasks, as a rule, comes down to fights with pirates and other enemy elements. Most of the action will take place not in space, as in most similar games, but in the upper atmosphere. In case of successful completion of the mission we are paid money that can and should be spent on all sorts of improvements for our ship.

Sergeant Slotte: Galaxy Janitor CSW Group / Mad Data [top]

This game has received some notoriety on the web due to its absurdity. We have to play as the janitor Slotte, whose mission - to clean up the galaxy of the accumulated garbage. But if your understanding of a janitor is a man wielding a broom or mop, you are wrong. Our hero has at his disposal a space ship, armed to eliminate waste and even with the ability to improve. Gameplay is the usual side-scroller which is divisible by two-minute stages, where there are no enemies, but overall flying scum, as an obstacle to the ship (!). Rubbish, oddly enough, is divided into two types - that required by the government for research and other that must be destroyed. The first includes shipwrecks and satellite, diskettes and coins for personal use. In order for all of these items to earn points, you need to face them (!) which, of course, inflicts damage, but your health regenerates fairly quickly. Help in the search for this type of waste comes in the form of a special radar. All that in other games helps the character, here kills. Hearts, clocks, oxygen bottles, swords, and even bottles of "BONUS" inscription - all deadly. Sometimes a little monotonous gameplay introduced variety. At some stages to help our brave cleaner arrives a partner, computer controlled. His contribution to the number of points you make is small (the more easily killed as the obstacles, and the player), because in most cases it is useless. Also at the end of the level Slott can meet with a rogue ship. With each successive appearance of it will be more difficult to defeat. The graphics (VGA 320x200) are very pleasing to the eye. Even despite the fact that the action takes place in outer space (which explains the almost complete absence of background), other objects look very nice. Throughout the game will play a melody, which is supported by Sound Blaster and even PC Speaker. To give an even more arcade feel, a joystick can be connected. In the settings you can choose two languages ​​- English and German, it will only change the intuitive menu options. The result: a great game, recommended to fans of unusual and slightly eccentric computer games.

Silent Operation III: The Impossible Mission Under Water Kims Games [top]

Very rare Korean horizontal shmup, apparently, of free origin. The presence of the number III in the title is impossible to explain: there is no information about the first parts. The plot and the prehistory are absent: our underwater airplane is attacked by foes, who take not so much the quantity, but the strength of the armor, accuracy and accuracy of fire. In addition, they are able to hide in inaccessible areas for us at the top and bottom of the screen, as well as treacherously attack from the back. You can fight them with the help of a standard nose cannon, which is modified with time by means of selected bonuses (they will also help restore the strip of lives), as well as a powerful impulse that damages all visible targets: there is some time to not have to fire. The game looks non-uniform: the models of opponents are drawn well, but our ship and some elements of the background are significantly inferior to them in quality. Music and sounds are missing. As a result, we have a completely unknown and very complex shmup, worthy of attention of both the player and the collector.

Spaced-Out Invaders PLBM Games [top]

The original Space Invaders was released by Taito in Japan and North America in 1978. Eighteen years later, Spaced-Out Invades (aka "Kurt's Spaced Invaders" in an earlier version) was released for MS-DOS. And... yeah, it's pretty much the same game. There is a slightly more colorful background, and some SoundBlaster sound effects. Shoot all the Invaders while hiding behind the bunkers to help protect you. You have a total of four laser cannons ("lives").Each time you shoot all the Invaders in a given attack wave, a fresh attack wave will appear. Each new wave features slightly faster Invaders, and they start a little closer to your planet each time.If any aliens touch down on your planet, you have been INVADED, and you lose the game at that point. Saucers appear from time to time and can have VERY high score values, depending on your skill in shooting them. Remember how the original game did it? :) Just don't get too distracted shooting at the Saucers... Some higher attack waves will bombard your planet's visual sensors and make it difficult for you to see the Invaders. Be careful.

Star Wars 2 3U Games [top]

This is a Korean fan-made science fiction vertical shooter game set in the Star Wars universe. There's a choice of five different ships with different shooting capabilities and a power shot. You have to shoot continuously and beware of enemies. It doesn't really care that much about the political intricacies of the Star Wars universe; thus, you will see X and Y Wings fighting one another, you will see the Millennium Falcon in many variations fighting as well as the Calmari cruisers fighting for the same team, and other such inconsistencies. But, if you don't care about the original Star wars lore and just play for the fun of it, you will find that it's truly an epic space fighter game. Granted, its epic nature is quite constricted: you have just two colors to play within, you have no more than a few levels to go about, and, after a while you find out that the game doesn't pick it up in terms of difficulty. However, even under those circumstances, you can't say that the game isn't fun. It's got a really nice, responsive set of controls, with your spacecraft nicely sweeping away, so as to suggest mass, and, also, you get quite a few different weapons on the way, which is great if you love to see your craft get more and more diverse and more powerful.

Stardust Housemarque / Bloodhouse Ltd. [top]

This is an Asteroids clone first released on Amiga in 1993 that introduces a lot of gameplay modifications. There are 30 standard levels split into 5 worlds. Levels can be completed in any order however, you must fight an end-of-level guardian once you have finished the sixth level of a world. In each level there are standard disintegrating rocks to destroy. Their colour defines their endurance: greys are the easiest to be destroyed while yellows are the hardest. In most of the levels there are also other enemies but there are happens to be also some alliance forces providing us with new types of weapons or missiles. In total there are six types of weapons available: 3-way, bouncer, plasma, flamer, burster and missiles (maximum 3). Weapons can be collected by destroying alliance forces' ships. Each of these can be powered up to different levels. Fortunately you can power up one weapon while using another. Extra lives, shield enhancements and smart bombs are also on offer. Along with the standard levels, there are also 4 tunnel levels, which involve shooting what you can and dodging everything else as you dart through a ray-traced 3D tunnel, and 2 optional Thrust-style bonus levels in which lives can be won or lost.

Threat Fragment / Game Factory Interactive, Webfoot Technologies [top]

This shareware shooter has a very slick professional look to it, with detailed SVGA graphics and nice tunes to fit with the action. The gameplay is like Gauntlet, except instead of throwing axes and arrows, you are throwing grenades. You are a security officer on an asteroid colony which happens to be invaded by aliens, blah blah, and you have to, of course, get rid of them. The view is an overhead view, which looks down on the playing field. The playing field is one screen of mayhem and terror which your character has to navigate through to get to the goal, while dodging scorpions, bazooka firing maniacs, machine gun wielders, and much more. To help you, you have an array of weapons, including tri-shooting machine guns, mines, grenades, homing missiles, and a several more tools of destruction. The goals usually are getting to the destination in time, or blowing up dangerous explosives. After you complete your mission, you get a money reward, which you can purchase more weapons with. You also get rewards from killing monsters, although many are not too desirable... Monsters aren't the only ones who get killed in this game; you will soon find yourself, especially in multi-player mode, getting reduced to a puddle of blood, either by a deadly mine a monster laid out, or a missile that your friend happened to aim at you. BTW, you have an energy meter in this game, so you can stand a few direct missile hits :) This game, if you hadn't surmised yet, is a shoot em' up game in a style similar to Smash TV. What makes this game really fun though, is the option to play with 2, or 3 players. There's nothing funner than running with your pal annihilating ugly monsters and working together to complete some of the harder areas. The designers must of guessed that we like to blow away things, but also our "friends" :) , so they included a battle mode in which the players are head to head in an arena of death.

Thunder In Paradise Mass Media Inc. / Philips Interactive Media Inc. [top]

This is an interactive movie starring R.J. (Terry "Hulk" Hogan), Spence ("Hurricane" Spencer) and Martin "Bru" Brubaker (Chris Lemmon), among others. Based on the TV series with the same title, Thunder in Paradise refers to the main 'appendix' of the story: a supersonic boat called "Thunder". The game allows you to play through a Thunder in Paradise episode, titled "The M.A.J.O.R. and the Minor". The game consists of several so-called 'game encounters': In "Thunder Encounter", you control Thunder's powerful weapons to destroy as many threats to the boat as you can. This section of the game is somewhat like the arcade shooter "Paratrooper". "Island Encounter" is very similar to other games like Mad Dog McCree, in which you should shoot the baddies, before they shoot you. "Lab Encounter" has the same feeling as "Island Encounter", but set in the laboratory. Nice thing about this bit is, the way it's played (from a 'good' or 'bad' point of view) depends on how you did in the previous encounter. There are two ways to experience Thunder in Paradise: "Interactive Television" lets you play the role of Zack in the show. Spence and Bru ask you for help, by playing three 'game encounters'. The better you perform in a game encounter, the more bonus you will carry forward to the next encounter. "Game Only" allows you to choose one of the three 'game encounters'.

Trauma Enigma Software Productions, S.L. / Friendware [top]

Trauma is an above-average and rare shareware shooter from Spain. The reason it is obscure to most gamers is that it was released only in Spain and Britain. The plot of Trauma is simple, destroy anything that moves in your role as pilot of one of the different empires that are fighting for Earth control. All of them have their own personality and also different strong -and weak- points. Are you ready to try luck with any of them? You will be able to do so through the campaign mode, with an interesting "managerial" menu (Raptor-like) before starting every mission. Also, you dispose of a two-player mode that allows a friend to pilot a ship alongside you in the respective mode. Once inside one of the teams, you will notice that you also can choose different pilots and spaceships, thorough which you will have to face lots of explosions and swarms of enemies that bombard you nonstop (by air or land) from the very first level, but in order to make things easy, you will also dispose with the help that a great array of weapons and power-ups will offer you through the diverse levels, all that with the company of speedy techno melodies which will remind you of the best times of Epic Megagames. The graphics and ray-traced cutscenes are above average for its time, the levels are diverse, and the game plays very smoothly. These high points make Trauma one of the better shareware shooters out there, although it is far from the 'classic' status of Friendware's better-known Speed Haste. I also felt the game is much tougher than average - lots of explosions from the very first level, and swarms of enemies that bombard you nonstop - so the reflex-impaired gamers (like yours truly) may be better off elsewhere. A greater array of weapons, power-ups, and better-tuned difficulty level may elevate this to the status of Tyrian 2000.

VanSlug: X Mission Soft Action / Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. [top]

The player takes control of the titular hero, a futuristic detective named Van Slug whose hobby is to don his protective gear and rid the city and adjacent rural areas of monsters. In this platform shooter the player guides Van Slug through fairly vast levels populated by ground-based and flying enemies. The hero's default gun with unlimited ammunition can be exchanged for stronger ones (but with limited ammo) by picking a correspondent power-up. Other power-ups include shields that further protect the hero from attacks, dynamite, and health-restoring items. A boss battle awaits Van Slug at the end of each stage. Even though a bar entitled "EXP" is displayed alongside with the protagonist's health and special ammunition gauges, it never fills up and remains empty for the duration of the game.
