| Chasm - The Rift | Megamedia;GT Interactive (WizardWorks Software;Action Forms) | 1997 | [b]Minimum:[/b] * MS-DOS 5.0 * 486 DX4-100 CPU * VGA/SVGA GPU * 16 MB RAM * 75 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Pentium CPU * VESA GPU***Latest version: 1.04 (as of ?)***Chasm - The Rift is a Quake like game that had many features unseen untill it's release, yet fell short to games like Quake and Hexen 2. The engine is almost exact to Quake's, yet excedes it in being able to blow off your enemies arms and head, environmental effects like rain etc. However, it's lack of hardware acceleration (OpenGL etc) support seemed it's biggest shortcoming. | MS-DOS | labelimageminimize |

| Descent II | Interplay (Parallax Software) | 1996 | Comes on the same CD as the DOS version with separate installer that installs both Win95 and DOS versions (also with plain DOS installer which doesn't install the Win95 version). The Win95 version likely doesn't have anything different about it to the DOS version, though the Windows version presumably can use higher display resolutions (such as 800x600). | Windows | labelimageminimize |
| Gunlok | Interplay (Rebellion) | 2000 | Gunlok was the first (and only?) game to be released under the 2000 AD brand without connections to magazine's comic strips.***Set in either late 21st century or early 22nd century.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95, 98, or 2000 * 266 MHz Pentium II * 64 MB RAM * 10 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 500 MHz Pentium III CPU * 128 MB RAM * GeForce GPU * 150 MB HD space***Latest version: 1.2; patch 1 (as of 2000-12-08) | Windows | labelimageminimize |

| Outcast | Infogrames;Fresh3D (Appeal;Fresh3D) | 1999 | Fresh3D re-released the game on 2014-12-18 as Outcast 1.1 which was updated for modern systems. The game is largely identical to the original except for support for 3D hardware acceleration and some HUD and input updates as well as bug fixes.*** [53]***The game was a sort of technical marvel when it was released. Depth of field, software rendering only, voxels, and whatever else I'm forgetting. Possibly the only game ever using depth of field effect with software rendering, possibly also the first game with depth of field.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95 * Pentium 200 MHz CPU * 32 MB RAM * 2 MB VRAM * 4X CD-ROM drive * 600 MB free HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Pentium 300 MHz CPU * 64Mb of RAM * 4 MB VRAM * 8X CD ROM drive * 700 MB free HD space * 4 axes joystick The game seems to run fine even on WinXP64 with all 3 patches applied (the first one is used to install the game) and running in Win98 compatibility mode (the patches need to be run in this as well).***In the year 2007, the US government successfully deploys a probe designed to prove the existence of a parallel universe. Minutes into the mission, an intelligent alien life form damages the probe. On Earth, an unforeseen backlash of energy creates a black hole which threatens the very existence of the planet. You are Cutter Slade, a US Navy S.E.A.L. Commander, charged with the safety of the three scientists who have been chosen to travel to this new world, Adelpha. Your mission: confront the dangers of a mysterious and hostile world in order to recover the probe and close the black hole. The Earth's future is in your hands. 6 VAST AND DIVERSE CONTINENTS, inhabited by thousands of living creatures, both friend and foe. TOTAL FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT: you can climb, crawl, swim, talk, ride, fight, etc. GADGETS & WEAPONS: flame-thrower, tripwire, explosives, X-ray glasses, invisibility, tracer gun, dart gun, perforator gun and the crowd dispersing boomer gun... and a lot more to discover. GROUND-BREAKING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: interact with characters and creatures who behave with unprecedented levels of realism. 1ST AND 3RD PERSON CAMERA PERSPECTIVES which dynamically reacts intuitively to every situation you encounter. ORIGINAL MUSICAL SCORE performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. [Box blurb]***Outcast is a superb action adventure. Unlike Quake or Half-Life, one has to talk to and help many people to progress - as well as killing plenty of soldiers! :-) What marks the game out are its graphics - Infogrames bravely went for a voxel engine, which produces smooth round surfaces and stunning quality of light in the realistic, outdoor sites (not a sewer or warehouse in sight). The music is also superb. This game is in my all time top 5, along with (for those retros out there) Avalon, Knightlore, Carmageddon II, and Half-life. | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard | Bethesda Softworks | 1998 | Latest version: retail Comes on 2 CDs.***If there ever was a ridiculous game, then this is it, a DOS game that requires Windows OS to install but DOS to play. Even X-COM Apoc comes with DOS installer (despite being advertized as Win95 game). Players should see the UESP link for installation and other instructions.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95 or 98 * Pentium 166 MHz * 32 MB RAM * 2 MB VRAM * 16-bit soundblaster-compatible soundcard * 350 MB free HD space***Sharpen your sword... and your wits Discover swashbuckling adventure like never before.

Explore the harbour town and unlock the secrets of its landscape. [Box blurb] | MS-DOS | labelimagesubject |
| Total Annihilation | GT Interactive (Cavedog Entertainment) | 1997 | The presented conflict is between Core and Arm. Core being the government who imposed the requirement of turning people into robots (full robots, not cyborgs) by transferring their consciousness into robotic husks and attaining some sort of next step in human evolution. Arm are the people who wanted to continue living on as humans, but of course the government didn't take a no for an answer. The conflict obviously has escalated quite a bit from that. Both sides use remotely controlled robot armies to wage the war, so there are no lives lost on either side except for the commanders if they fail to escape.***Simply put: this was the best real-time strategy game when it was released, and it still is the king, despite being so old by the time I'm writing this. The graphics are no longer the best in the market, but they're still gurgeous, with fully animated polygonal units, and incredibly rendered terrains. The soundtrack is orchestral - literally. The basic game has nothing less than 150 units, there's more in the expansion pack Core Contingency, and yet a dozens more free for download, all of them made by the developer, and in the Internet you'll find thousands of third party not only of units, but also of maps, AIs and lots of other goodies. And the gameply... oh, the gameplay... Hundreds of robots, planes, ships and tanks involved in huge battles at the same time, with amazing explosion effects for incredible different weapons, including inter-continental plasma cannons and nuclear missiles. Command squadrons with as many units as you like to storm an enemy outpost, or build plenty of defense buildings to not get hammered. Since there's land, water and air units, you'll have to plan very well your advance through the map till total annihilation of your foes. That's not to mention, this game was the very first to introduce nice concepts, now present in every strategy game, such as wind that has influence on the shots' fly, higher ground grants plenty of advantage, specific air-to-ground and ground-to-air weapons, detailed unit behavior control, and the list of advances goes on and on... To finish: I urge you to play this game. You may love it, you may just like it a little, but there's no way you will hate it. It's not for no reason that it's one of the only games ever that has a very active community even after the developer company exits business. In some last worlds before they would go away, they shared some words with Total Annihilation's fans, both players and third party developers: 'You guys are the Cavedog now'. | Windows | labelimageminimize |
