Front Mission 3	Squaresoft;Electronic Arts (Squaresoft)	1999	Using a turn-based combat system; the player controls giant fighting robots called "wanzers" in order to fulfill mission objectives or to defeat foes in mechanical warafre. Robots can be continually upgraded by purchasing or scavenging new weapons/armor/computers/ect. This game takes a new approach to increasing the depth of the game creating the Double Feature Scenario which allows the player to choose one of two completely different character viewpoint within the same general plot of the game.*It is the year 2112, ten years after Front Mission Second. Kazuki Takemura, a student and test pilot for Kirishima Industries and his friend Ryogo Kusama are delivering Wanzers, giant battle machines, to a military base when a mysterious incident leads both characters into an unexpected turn of events. The incident at the JDF base has now drawn both Kazuki and Ryogo into a global conspiracy. Front Mission 3 features turn-based combat in a massive strategic adventure with 2 different scenarios and over 150 hours of gameplay. Take control of giant battle machines, upgrading them with better components, weapons, and computers. Search for clues through in-game 'internet' and 'e-mail' systems while plotting your moves on detailed, fully 3D environment maps.*IN FM3, battles are fought using Wanzers, which are quite realistic combat robots [unlike Gundams, etc]. This is a strategy RPG set mainly around the Asia/Pacific rim in the near future. There are 2 unique seperate storylines stemming from a single decision. [Haoie]	PS

Mach Rider	Nintendo	1985	[100]* [62]* [17]* [22]* [52]* [52]Mach Rider is an early Famicom/NES motorcycle racing game set in the future. The controls and not optimal and the obstacles on the street are unfair. There is no real sense of driving in this game, the graphics and sound are unspectacular. One of Nintendo's weakest releases for their Famicom/NES system.**It's the year 2112. Earth has been invaded by the forces of evil. Battle the invaders as you race from sector to sector on your motorcycle, searching for survivors. Feel the incredible sense of speed as you zip past evil Quadrunners and zigzag between treacherous rocks, oil spills and other obstacles on the course. For a different challenge, create your own course in Design Mode, using the various twists, turns and straightaways the game has to offer. Remember, you are Earth's only hope—you are Mach Rider.	NES

Nexus – The Jupiter Incident	Vivendi Universal;HD Interactive (Mithis Entertainment)	2004	I'm still surprised by this title and it is one of my all-time favourites (even among the favorites). The first (and still the only) tactical starship game I've played, and I haven't seen any others come up since or before. Realistic starship physics - no constant propulsion when they're moving, only acceleration and deceleration - which is amazingly rare in games even these days (and certainly not in the mainstream games). Unusual - if not exactly impressive - story despite its few lackluster elements. Even the graphics look [i]a lot[/i] better than in games made several years later, despite the fact it was made for inferior hardware that ran it quite well. All-in-all this is an undeservingly unappreciated among space simulation/strategy games with barely anyone even having heard of it.**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, 2000 or XP * Pentium III 1 GHz CPU * 128 MB RAM * GeForce 2 GPU * 1.4 GB HD space * 64 Kbps modem for internet multiplayer*Among many others, Nexus was known at one point as [i]Imperium Galactica III: Genesis[/i], but no longer has any connections with that game series nor its [url=/groups/info/4Xstrategy]4X[/url] genre.Immerse yourself in "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident", the latest surprise to hit the gaming world! Innovative and groundbreaking, it is a real-time mission-based tactical space game featuring spectacular real time battles and breathtaking motion picture quality. Focus on tactics and action as you control up to a dozen battleships encountering aliens, unknown solar systems and astrophysical phenomena in your struggle to save Earth. At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system is being monopolized by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah's Ark, the first colony ship of mankind. At the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident". You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict. "Nexus – The Jupiter Incident" is what we call a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator. It's like nothing you've played before. The strong, elaborate story takes you from mission to mission and allows different approaches. It's up to you which tactics you choose to bring each mission to a good end. A reward system enables you to repair, upgrade and enhance your ships depending on the approach you chose. Mission briefings let you roam through an unbelievably accurate 3D animated star map system. Are you ready to take on the challenge...?

System Crash	Rogue Moon Studios	2013	The year is 2113. Technology, far from ushering in a golden age, has altered what it means to be human. And allowed greedy corporations to virtually enslave humanity under the yoke of consumerism and mass media. You are a ‘runner’, an agent operating outside the system, fighting to survive and thrive in the cracks between the shining towers of chrome and steel. You take on the illicit, high-risk jobs that the powers-that-be need deniability on. Whether it’s hacking a secure data server, extracting a defecting researcher from a corporate enclave or sabotaging a rival corp’s manufacturing plant, you’ll take it on if the money’s right. System Crash is a cyberpunk CCG (Collectible Card Game) with an engaging storyline, coming early 2013 to PC/Mac/Linux. Card duels represent ‘runs’, high-risk contracts from shadowy clientele. You are the run’s ‘controller’, the brains, the man or woman organizing and directing the run. To achieve your goal you need to accumulate ‘Objective Points’, an abstract measure of how much progress you’ve made toward that goal. Accumulate 30 OP and success is yours. However, if the opposing controller, usually the head of a corporate security force, accumulates 30 points before you then you have failed. Your Agents scatter to the streets to avoid capture and you must terminate your connection to avoid a trace on your physical location. How the run is approached is up to you! Recruit your agents, purchase equipment and software, execute your tactics!	Linux
System Shock 2	Electronic Arts;Night Dive Studios (Looking Glass Studios;Irrational Games)	1999	The developer desired to create a Linux version of this game but did not have access to the source code. When pressed for further details they say that the source code is lost. Subsequently, there is an officially supported wine based Linux port available on Steam. Further reports suggest that a stolen version of the source code may be in the possession of an illegal hacker. Sections of this stolen code are available on the web but because of current US copyright law the stolen code cannot be used by anyone, including current ligitimate developers of the game.*MPN: [code]LGE08902537S[/code] (box), [code]LGE08902537CA[/code] (other side of the box), [code]LGE08902537IB[/code] (jewel case), [code]LGE08902537D[/code] (CD) GTIN/EAN-13: [code]5030930021290[/code][b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95 or 98 * 200 MHz Pentium CPU * 32 MB free RAM * 2 MB VRAM * 250 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 300 MHz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB free RAM * 4 MB VRAM * 3D accelerator * 550 MB HD space*UNIQUE COMBINATION OF SCI-FI HORROR AND ROLE PLAYING AND 1ST-PERSON GAMEPLAY Enter the O.S.A. to fine-tune your mind to manipulate your environment and carry out deadly psionic warfare.

Like System Shock 1, there will be persistent levels (i.e., drop an item on one level, and you could go back later to retrieve it), gameplay elements like logs, inventory, skills, persistent world, leaning, hacking, RPG elements, multiple weapons and enemies, and a compelling storyline. Unlike most other first person shooters, the purpose of System Shock was not to kill everything in sight; nor was it a "find the key to move onto the next level" game. The plot was always present, but not so confining as in traditional shooters—there was almost always more than one task to accomplish. Levels were realistically designed and had logical reasons behind them. It is the principle of System Shock 2 to continue this game design."	Windows
