Again. This time, the entire forces of the netherworld have overrun Earth. To save her, you must descend into the stygian depths of Hell itself! Battle mightier, nastier, deadlier demons and monsters. Use more powerful weapons. Survive more mind-blowing explosions and more of the bloodiest, fiercest, most awesome blastfest ever! Play DOOM II solo, with two people over a modem, or with up to four players over a LAN (supporting IPX protocol). No matter which way you choose, get ready for adrenaline-pumping, action-packed excitement that's sure to give your heart a real workout. [?]***This game is one of the most popular games when 3D shoot-em's first became popular. It involves total carnage of evil demons, zombies and monsters with an arsenal of shotguns, chainguns, missiles, BFG, Plasma, Pistol, and Chainsaw. | labelimagesubject |

With that said, most Star Control fans are about as enthusiastic about StarCon3 as Superman is about Kryptonite. [cjlee001] | labelimageminimize |

This time, your mission is to explore and liberate the various alien races and planets in the different star systems and take part in action filled space battles. Super Melee: A bonus game in which you take part in spaceship to spaceship combat with the choice of 28 different starships. Challenge a friend or the computer.***One of my favorite games. Good news everyone! You can play StarCon2 with slightly updated graphics (from the 3DO port) and remixed music on Windows (also, MacOS X and Linux)! Toys For Bob released the source code for StarCon2 and a dedicated team is working hard porting it to modern PCs. The project is opensource, that means you can download it for FREE! Did you hear that? FREE! Check here for details: [[link:http://sc2.sourceforge.net/]] [cjlee001] | labelimageminimize |
