Sphere Of Influence	author	1998	This concept fascinates me. There is a sever running the game. You view the result and command spacecraft in the game through a client presentation interface (Power Point type). The designer didn't invent an interface that exists in the game world by which to command, as most game of this type do. Rather he used an existing interface common to the OS/2 platform. Other games have the player controlling an unseen protagonist sitting in front of some far off highly advance imaginary computer. But this is as if you were actually commanding spacecraft with an OS/2 computer. You are using the computer you are using, not an imaginary one.***SOI is a game designed for the OS/2 presentation manager. It is a cross between a role playing game and a simulator. It runs under a client/server architecture whereby simulations are run by a server either independently or under the control of a game master. The simulations may be simple such as Star Trek's Kobayashi Maru scenario from Star Trek II, or as complex as an intergalactic scavenger hunt or multi-species interstellar war. Scenarios are designed with a separate scenario editor. The first release of SOI will be a single player version with the simulation controller (server) and client running on the same machine. The player character has the role of ship captain in the Terrani Naval Forces. The captain must carry out missions designated by the simulation controller. For more information see the Captain's Indoctrination (to follow soon). The SOI client is written in C++ and assembler and is fully object oriented. All game objects, characters, ships, planets, etc. derive from a base object and can be dragged and dropped in the various windows. This, for example, allows the player to drag an object to the Interstellar Navigation window and see its last reported location.	OS/2

Section 8	SouthPeak Games (TimeGate Studios)	2009	On the war-torn planets of tomorrow, mankind's greatest battle is about to begin. With its frontier colonies devastated by a growing insurrection, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armored Infantry (nicknamed "Section 8") to repel the coming onslaught. The nickname refers to an old United States military regulation where a soldier would be dismissed from service through being mentally unfit for duty. The near-suicidal missions that this division volunteers for brands them as insane by other military units. Section 8 deploys by 'burning in' from their orbital drop ships tens of thousands of feet above the battlefield, utilizing the most advanced arsenal of military hardware known to man. Their mission: to scout and secure difficult objectives and smash enemy defenses in lightning-quick assaults. An intense first-person shooter, Section 8 allows players to dynamically alter the flow of combat as they see fit. Employing tactical assets and on-demand vehicle deliveries, players are given unprecedented strategic control over epic sci-fi battlefields.***For 1 to 32 players.

Restricted Area	Whiptail Interactive (Master Creating)	2005	Restricted Area is an action RPG with an accent on both action and RPG. On one hand, we want to bring you more action--this means the game plays faster, the controls are more direct, and you can even find some shooter elements. For example, you can switch between your weapons without entering the inventory. On the other hand, we try to be more RPG-like, and we developed a discussion system with real choices, a storyline with surprising twists, and a complex but easy-to-use attribute and skill system. At the beginning of the game, four totally different characters meet each other in a downtown area. They have only one thing in common -- the need to start a new life. You choose the one you want to play as, and this choice determines the point of view you experience the story from. As the game's story develops, your character will be able to team up with a variety of other characters and fight against an evil company... FEATURES * Action-packed Cyber-Punk RPG which brings you into a dark and fascinating world compareable to Matrix and Bladerunner * Four totally different characters with unique skills, each with a detailed back-story, progress independently through the same narrative; the story is revealed from various angles * Complex roleplaying system: Each character has access to misc skills and to unique skills related to its characterization: 75 skills with 10 levels (750 skill levels in total). Uncountable number of weapons, Cyberware and Bioware to boost your abilities * Dynamic dialogues adapted to the situation and the player's actions Unlimited computer generated subquests and levels * Cooperative Multiplayer mode * Takes advantage of IRIS, the fastest and most powerful engine ever written for an isometric game, which took over two years to create and which has been created especially for Restricted Area. Innumerable visual effects, for example dynamical lights and shadows, rain, fog, smoke, dust, fire, water, explosions and reflections * Advanced combat system for fast-paced action with shooter elements. Environment effects combat. Imagine light, shadow, distance, height level, weather and movement of the target affect the chance to hit * Advanced AI with group tactics that reacts on your "visible strength" – the perceived strength and condition of your character, like the weapon in his hand [Master Creating]	Windows
XCOM 2	2K Games (Firaxis Games)	2016	AI cheating * Knowledge of all player troops once concealment is gone, which lets them target AoEs and such without ever having vision on them. * Concealment patrol routes sometimes follow player position. * Accuracy stat is not affected by as many things as it is for players.***The game starts roughly 20 years after the beginning of the first game from scenario where the war was lost before the players even began on the first game, effectively taking immediate loss right at game start as the canon ending for the previous game, thus making anything that happened in the first game not canon.
