| 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). | labelimageminimize |

[b]21st century[/b] - in-game the date is stated to be June 2030.***1C will publish the game on 26th October 2007 Strategy First published the game on 2007-10-18***For the first half of the 21st century, the war on terror became a global phenomena as more blatant and frenzied attacks struck deeper into the lives of common people. Inevitably, the pressure from public outcry to stop the madness grew to an irresistible level; the military forces of the world slowly but steadily retooled their outlooks, weapons, and tactics to combat people who were willing to die for their cause. By 2100, the world was more or less at peace, with continued discord in some regions as modernized military forces sought to track down and destroy the remaining terrorist cells that continued to fight and harass civilian and military alike. Regardless, as this war began to wane, it slowly moved out of the public's eye, and they began to pick up the pieces and try to make better lives for themselves. Not since the years following World War II had such prosperity been felt across the planet; even war-ravaged regions received a "Marshall Plan" of sorts, having their infrastructures built up far beyond what they ever were before. As prosperity grew, so too did the ventures of capitalism. In this day and age, science was the 'new capitalism,' fueling the growth of amazing new technologies. The first high-profile ventures into the creation of a viable fusion energy source, an offshoot of the efforts of the aging multinational oil companies, began in 2105 in the United States, with the backing of billions of dollars in venture and government capital. The International Power Initiative of 2112, an agreement among nations investing in the fusion power project, but eventually including many hundreds of other projects based on energy, radically restructured how science was to approach new energy sources. The level of freedom granted to a group of corporations might have been dangerous one hundred years ago, but it was felt that today since there was not a rivalry in the race to find the secrets of fusion power first, that giving a corporation autonomy to do what it needed to do would foster creativity and growth on an unheard-of scale. It didn't. [Sigma Team] | labelimagesubject |
| Alien Shooter 2 - Reloaded | Sigma Team | 2009 | Notable differences with the original are missing voice overs, the lack of separate weapon skills - you no longer need certain level on a weapon skill to use more powerful weapons - and the damage modifier has been merged with accuracy skill (formerly this was purely accuracy, now it's universal weapon skill, offering both increased accuracy and some damage improvements). This simplifies your weapon choices to economic issues. Implants no longer have intelligence requirement and you can only have one implant in use at any time, effectively making intelligence almost pointless (formerly lack of intelligence restricted more powerful implants from your use and you could have 3 implants total in use). Armor skill has been removed completely, allowing anyone to wear any armor they want. And then there's the additional missions (missions 8 and 9, a small town). And net ranking.***Alien Shooter 2 - Reloaded is a modified version of the Alien Shooter 2 game. We started working on it right after release of AS2, taking into account the players' wishes. Well, here's the list of what we've done: 1. Size of the full version installation file was reduced to 300 Mb, compared to 1Gb of the original Alien Shooter 2. Large installation file prevented users with slow connection from buying and downloading the game. 2. Player upgrade parameters simplified. Now you don't need to develop separate skills for each weapon type, so you'll be able to complete the game using all the weapon types featured in it. 3. Two new missions added. Now the game features 17 full levels. 4. New individual shooting mode added - Gun Stand. You will use powerful military equipment to eliminate advancing enemy troops. As the game goes on, you will upgrade your weapon in different ways, and the right choice will let you win the battle! [Sigma Team] | labelimagesubject |
| Alien Shooter - Revisited | Sigma Team | 2009 | Un mata-mata ordinario, cuyo únicos factores reseñables son la habilidad que tiene la historia de meterte en apuros y la cantidad de zonas secretas que tiene el juego. Mediocre. 3 de 10***Effectively the same game as the original Alien Shooter, but with improved graphics (on par with Alien Shooter 2, no longer the garish and brightly colored what it once was), and with some other improvements from the sequel brought back to the old, namely weapon reloading and flashlight upgrade. The levels have been stretched a bit to give more free space to move in without appearing strange. The general shape of the levels is identical, enemies are also nearly identical to the old with largest changes to their ranged attacks. The standard pistol has been replaced with an uzi that is much more useful, although is only useful against green enemies (color coding is identical to the original). Also, if you lose all your lives, you no longer have to replay the whole game to retry, but start of the mission (you can freely replay already finished missions in similar manner). | labelimageminimize |
