Strife	3DO (Rogue Entertainment)	1996	Tagline: [i]Trust No One[/i]* [58]As the source code for this game was lost, subsequent porting efforts are relying in the reverse engineering efforts of Vavoom, ZDoom, SvStrife and Chocolate Strife developers.**This has the most advanced retail modification of the old Doom engine I've seen.

[Zerothis]Partially influenced by H.P.Lovecraft's works.**Excellent game for the time. When I first saw the purple moving clouds in the skies of the game on the free demo I remember I rushed to the store to buy it!! I can remember I played night after night just to finish the game and had sleepy eyes on the office the day after. In the end of the game there was some kind of a monster on a small island which you could jump on to finish it off.. No doubt about it: In its genre, one of the best games ever. [Roland]
Time Commando	Activision (Adeline Software)	1996	As I understand the descriptions of the game, there's no actual time travel involved, but the whole thing takes place in a virtual reality (cyberspace) infected by a virus, a combat simulator for forms of combat from across the ages.***Comes on the same CD as the Windows version.

While scouting a remote island, you are suddenly surrounded by enemy troops with guns blaring. In the distance you see your boat--your only chance to escape--explode into matchsticks. In front of you is a huge fortress monastery, and your only chance to stop the madness.

[Apogee]***Dark War was the commercial full version published in 1995, The Hunt Begins was the Shareware version published in 1994. I've never met anyone who knows the game with the full name, just Rise of the Triad or ROTT, never anything about Dark War or The Hunt Beginning.. Source code was released in Dec 2002 and is available at 3D Realm's website. [Sanguine]

Duke Nukem 3D	Apogee Software (3D Realms)	1996	About tech / gameplay innovation, to quote TV Tropes: [quote]First Person Shooters prior to Duke 3d didn't feature "realistic" real world locations. Things that Duke 3d did first include: televisions that show different programmes; closed circuit security cameras that let you see other areas of the level than the bit you're in; working subway trains that take you across "town"; strip bars/clubs; breakable glass/destroyable furniture/mirrors that you can see your own reflection in; triggered set pieces such as earthquakes that can destroy the architecture around the player; and working toilets that you can use to gain extra health. These things were quite revolutionary at the time, and the level design in later games of the genre (such as Half Life, Deus Ex, Soldier Of Fortune, and even aspects of Doom 3) show signs of its ground breaking influence. It could be argued that this organic approach to level design would have come about anyway as a direct result of increasingly better technology... but nevertheless, Duke 3d was there first.[/quote]*The source code for the 1.5 version was released under GPL license on 2003-04-01."Complete Version", the one I have, came on single CD-ROM. I'm pretty sure some older releases came on several 3½ disks.*[b]Minimum:[/b] 486 CPU * 8 MB RAM * VGA GPU * 30 MB free HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 486DX2 / 66 MHz CPU (Pentium for SVGA modes) * 16 MB RAM * VESA-compliant VGA or SVGA GPU [b]Supported sound cards:[/b] For music: Gravis UltraSound, Sound Blaster (all of them), SoundMan16, Pro Audio Spectrum, SoundScape, Waveblaster, Sound Canvas, Adlib, and General MIDI. For sound: Sound Blaster (all of them), Gravis UltraSound, SoundMan16, Pro Audio Spectrum, SoundScape, Disney/Tandy Sound Sources.**The third chapter in the series, and the first with a 3D perspective (the original Duke Nukem and the sequel, Duke Nukem II, are side scrolling platform games). This game, set sometime in the early 21st century, begins in a ravaged LA, which was overtaken by aliens while you were abducted during Duke Nukem II. Duke, upon returning to Earth, finds himself with another mess to clean up, and another alien race that needs exterminating. Duke is a can-do hero who realizes that sometimes innocent people have to die in order to save Earth, so accuracy of gun fire is not a real concern to him. :) This game has a long list of cool things that haven't been attempted in 3D action games, yet. The weapons, for example, kick-butt: There's a mine that can be placed on any wall and sends out a laser trip beam-- perfect for multiplayer games. * There's also a shrinker ray that reduces an opponent to the size of a G.I. Joe, at which point they are foot fodder--watch them splat! * As in Shadow Warrior, you can swim under water, and even shoot players who are standing outside the water, or vice versa. [3D Realms]
Wolfenstein 3D	Apogee;Activision;GT Interactive (id Software)	1992	[media=youtube]x8o0a5ntxfc[/media]*A fun run-and-gun FPS (one of the pioneers of the genre) with a simple goal in mind: kill nazis. It has not aged well (its palette is very harsh to the sight, and its control feels clunky), but still its minoic level design (filled with secrets) and its variety of levels (from the ubermensch/zombie army of mission 2 to the secret nightmare of mission 4) make it a nice title. Its simpleness is its best virtue; nonetheless this game was made to be hard. 7 of 10, would kill mystic führers again.Maybe it was the fact that people got to blow away Nazis. Maybe it was the sheer challenge of it all. For whatever reason, Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny, pioneered the first-person shooter genre and brought its legendary creators, id Software, worldwide notoriety and numerous awards. In fact, The Computer Gaming World Hall of Fame recognized Wolfenstein 3D as helping to shape the overall direction of the computer gaming industry. [Steam Store] [52]They also released a mission pack titles "The Nocturnal Missions" with three more episodes. Later releases of Wolfenstein 3D would include these mission pack episodes and thus had six episodes instead of only the three original episodes.Third game in the Wolfenstein series. 1st version published by Apogee. Republished later by Activision Publishing and again by GT Interactive. [Zerothis]*The first really addictive First-person shooter!

When she finds it she realizes that it is one of the 3 parts of a more important artifact, the Scion,which is the key to activating the Great Pyramid of Atlantis. She also discovers though, that Natla, her employer is not what she seemed to be. She was one of the 3 rulers of Atlantis and she had one of the 3 pieces of the artifact. The other two belonged to Tihocan and Qualopeg. However, she abused its powers, creating a race of monsters which destroyed Atlantis. The other 2 rulers froze her into what they thought would be an eternal prison. She, however, managed to escape and now wants to create mutated species again. Lara has to stop her, but that's quite difficult, because she is both powerful and intelligent.
