A Dark Room	Continuities	2015	A stranger stumbles into your forest shelter while you stoke your fire. She offers to build a cart for you to transport firewood more efficiently. Then she offers to build animal traps. Eventually you receive the occasional visitor wanting shelter, firewood, or trade animal meat, fur, and teeth. Well how about building a tannery, workshop, lodgings, a trading post, and huts; heck just build a village. With a village full of people you can go exploring for monsters and dungeons. Or would it be best to craft your own dungeons to attract treasure hording monsters to raid using knights from your self built empire? Ya, this is pretty much a player crafted version of TOME.	Linux
METRO 2033	THQ (4A Games)	2010	Set in the shattered subway of a post apocalyptic Moscow, Metro 2033 is a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of mankind rests in your hands. In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth’s surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age. The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside. You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised Underground. Having never ventured beyond your Metro Station-City limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat. Your journey takes you from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind.	X360

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.

From the creators of [i]Thief: The Dark Project[/i], the [i]Ultima Underworld[/i] series and the original [i]System Shock[/i]. [Box blurb][b]missing images[/b] - title screen, more in-game screens [b]install OS limit[/b] - refuses installation on NT-based machines, citing DX6 limitations. This can be skipped by adding [code]-lgntforce[/code] command-line option to the setup program. [b]adv-xpdistr[/b] - there's really no experience, only "cyber modules" which are awarded at varying quantities upon completing tasks related to the main plot and occasionally found from the game world. These are used to buy upgrades to the protagonist's "cyber rig", each subsequent upgrade costing more cyber modules than the last (for skills the initial cost is also much higher than few of the following upgrades to them). [b]possessed[/b] / [b]parasites[/b] / [b]body horror[/b] - the host remains conscious quite far into the transformation process, often heard pleading to be killed while the parasite controlled body attacks the protagonist. Obviously there's no cure for them besides death (and even if there was, hardly any would wish to live as such horribly mutated creature). -- averted telekinesis - only used to take items from a distance, not to manipulate them or any other objectsLatest version: 2.3 (as of 1999-09)*"System Shock 2 is the sequel to [company=Looking Glass Studios]Looking Glass Studios[/company] / [company=Origin System]Origin System[/company] 1994 PC and Macintosh title, [game=#33139]System Shock[/game]. 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
