Fallout	Interplay (Black Isle Studios)	1997	A great post-apocalyptic RPG, with good atmosphere and great feeling about scarceness of resources. Sadly, is too short, but with an incredibly good story and even alternative endings.* [53]Set in the aftermath of a worldwide nuclear war, FALLOUT will challenge you to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. You will take the role of a Vault-dweller, a person who has grown up in a secluded, underground survival Vault. Circumstances arise that force you to go Outside to a strange world 80 years after the end of the modern civilization. A world of mutants, radiation, gangs and violence. Your immediate task is to find a replacement for the broken water purification controller chip. Without that chip, your fellow Vault dwellers are doomed to dehydration or are forced to leave the safety of the Vault for the Outside.2009-08-19 on Steam, by Interplay (lang: eng, fre, spa, ger)*Latest version: 1.2 (as of ?)

Moved by their commitment in the face of terrible odds, the court magician decides to equip these new adventurers with a priceless and powerful amulet.

Outwars	Microsoft (SingleTrac)	1998	[b]hang glider[/b] - not literally, the power armor at some point become fitted with foldable wings which are used like hang glider except for the fact that you also have the power armor's standard jetpack for additional propulsion.***DESCRIPTION As a Dreadnaut soldier, you will lead a team of space troopers against an alien insect force in a planet by planet battle to save the universe. You are the best we have. You are one mean space marine. Succeed in your mission objectives and we all survive. Fail...and you condemn us all. FEATURES Arsenal of Weapons - Arm your space troopers with a variety of lethal weaponry including heat-seeking swarm missiles, flechette cannons, plasma rifles, grenade launchers, and proximity mines before each level. 3D Interactive Audio - Outwars features a fully interactive soundtrack and sound system. All noises are rendered in 3D and are a major part of the gameplay -- enemy shrieks get louder and more alarming as you near them (even if they are behind a wall!), waterfall noises become louder, and ship noises go through Doppler warping as they scream past you in the full heat of battle. Additionally, the music itself is interactive and sets the tone for each mission. Singletrac has combined a rich redbook audio soundtrack with streaming interactive music that changes based on the game changes. You're searching: it's tense, suspended. You're fighting: it's a wild pounding battle song that will get your heart rate going and keep your fingers hitting those triggers faster, faster, faster. Rocket-Pack Dynamics - You'll experience dizzying heights and enormous depths while piloting a jet-pack armed with lethal firepower to take on the exo-skeleton adversaries. Large, diverse environments - Outwars includes a wide variety of diverse environments including a lush tropical planet, a desert mining colony, a forbidding ice planet and a planet sized hive. Additionally, the gameplay environments in Outwars are expansive; thus, your not just confined to the oppressive environments seen in most run-n-guns. This opens up the gameplay possibilities and makes the game less predicable. Multiple modes of motion - Players can choose from different method of motions including running, gliding and jet packing across vast environments. Unique gameplay strategy - You will face a variety of strategy options in Outwars, such as: Is there enough fuel to make it out of the deep, underground cavern? Would it be better to rush the alien insect force with the whole team, or send someone around to outflank them? Are the your adversaries running away because they were afraid or are they preparing an ambush? Mission-based levels - Outwars offers sophisticated objectives for each mission that vary from stealth under-cover work to frenetic combat action to team-assisted cooperative and research missions. This is not a standard "shoot everything and find the exit" game. Aggressive Adversaries - Deal with adversaries that will actively pursue you across vast landscapes and employ a variety of attacks in order to destroy you. Engaging Storyline - As you achieve your missions, you learn about the aliens that you are battling and their devious plans as your teammates work feverishly to help you foil them. Failure has one consequence: DOOM. Personalized characters - Character options allow you to choose to play as a man or a woman and outfit your teammates before third-person gameplay. Varied Multi-Player Play - OutWars supports modem, LAN and Internet play (via the Internet Gaming Zone) and includes cooperative, capture-the-flag, and death-match modes of play. Technology Support - MMX technology and Direct 3D acceleration are included for immersive play. [Microsoft]
Unreal	GT Interactive;Infogrames (Epic MegaGames;Digital Extremes)	1998	MSRP: $54.95 (U.S.)* [53]1998-04-30 original release as reported by Epic Games, published by GT Interactive. Validity uncertain despite the source. 1998-05-22 as reported on the official site at the time of release. 1999 Unreal Gold - re-release that bundled Return to Na Pali. 2000-09-22 - re-release by Infogrames 2001 another re-release by InfogramesAlthough Unreal was great back in the days it first came out, it hasn't fared well against the ravages of time. It's difficult to get running on modern Windows operating systems (with hardware 3D acceleration, software rendering works fine) and when you do, it's a terrible realization that it doesn't look as great as you remember. Something 3D games are perhaps only now managing to accomplish (if even now), a level of detail that can survive for ages like 2D graphics reached long ago. The difficulty setting is a bit curious as it adjusts the dodge-firing ratio, so the easiest difficulty may actually be the hardest since the enemies dodge a _lot_, while at hardest they practically just stand there and shoot at you a never ending stream of bullets/rockets/whatever. So, if you're poor shot, go for harder difficulties, if you're poor dodger, go for easy. The normal difficulty and those near it balance it out so it may be harder or easier depending on your skill and playstyle.*Great FP-Shooter, network-playing, Missiondisc available
Fallout 2	Interplay (Black Isle Studios)	1998	Improves everything in the first game, especially exploration. The only thing to blame is a kind of fixed ending in comparition with the first game, and an antagonist not so interesting as The Master. 9 de 10*In this postnuclear role-playing game, you are the Chosen One, the direct descendant of the Vault Dweller. The village elders have selected you to wear the sacred Vault-suit of your grandsire and, in time, to ascend to the leadership of your people. First you must prove your devotion to your people. Your tribe needs help. If you are truly the Chosen One, then you alone are capable of claiming the heritage of the Vault Dweller to take back your birthright. Your tribe has survived over 10 years of drought, but now their reserves are at an end. You must find Vault 13 and claim the technology that your tribe needs to survive. If you fail in this quest, your tribe will surely die.

Characters must sleep or suffer the effects of fatigued. Characters can also become poisoned, confused,charmed, enfeebled, paralyzed, turned to stone, encumbered, impaired, or drunk if the character does avoid situations that lead to such effects.

Some NPC have their on purposes for joining and will stay of leave depending on the changing conditions matching their goals or not. The experience system follows the AD&D ruleset. This includes XP awarded for defeating enemies and for completing quests (which are documented on-the-fly in an automated journal that also records some plot information).

A place where great industrial cities house castle keeps and factories, home to Dwarves, Humans, Orcs and Elves alike. A place of ancient runes and steamworks, of magic and machines, of sorcery and science. [b]Welcome to the Land of Arcanum[/b] Arcanum is the first game to come from the development house Troika Games, LLC, started by former Fallout team members Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, and Jason Anderson. This team takes the depth of gameplay and world-building in role-playing games to entirely new levels of realism and excitement. Arcanum creates a compelling new world where magic and technology coexist in an uneasy balance. As Arcanum opens, the mechanical age has only recently arrived in this ancient land where Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and other races have learned to survive in the new sprawling industrialized cities.

[Box blurb]***Wizardry 8 is an epic fantasy RPG that picks up where [[gameid:42564 Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant]] left off. You may recall that all hell had broken loose at the end of Wizardry 7. The Dark Savant had taken flight with a device called the Astral Dominae, an incredibly powerful artifact containing the secret of life itself. Following him are two powerful races, the T'Rang and the Umpani, as well as your own brave party of adventurers. Everyone is headed to Dominus, a world on the cusp of the Cosmic Circle, birthplace of the Astral Dominae and home of the Cosmic Lords. Many paths will converge on Dominus, and many long-hidden secrets will be revealed. [Sir-Tech]

Dungeon Siege impels the player into one over-the-top battle after the other as the storyline unfolds and a larger plot begins to reveal itself. A world of adventure where you can explore sprawling landscapes in a seamlessly unfolding story awaits...Your adventures take place in the Kingdom of Ehb is one of the youngest states bordering the Plain of Tears. Protected by a ring of superb fortifications and heir to the 10th Legion-arguably one of the best trained armies in the world, the Kingdom of Ehb has, so far, been shielded from the raids and invasions that have devastated many of its neighboring states on the Plain.Within Ehb's borders, there is an astonishing diversity in geography and cultures. Most inhabitants worship Azunai, an ancient god of the pre-Imperial Agallan Peaks. Dwarves and men live together in harmony and bow to the same king. Sorcerers are also more accepted than in other countries, thanks in large part to the efforts of Merik, Grand Mage and Warden of Shadows of the 10th Legion. And in the heart of the kingdom, a strange and often contrary race called the Droog is allowed a degree of autonomy, despite its sometimes-troublesome alliances.It is a country in search of an identity, caught between the glories of a fallen past and the potential for an even greater future. Despite several crises, Ehb has never fallen to an enemy. But at any time the course of events could turn down a bleaker path.***Latest version: 1.11.1462 (as of 2002-07)

Though there's some evidence suggesting Goonstation is the original, mainly archive.org copies of the website linked in Byond's gamelistings for the main game. The various servers have custom splash art that name the server in some similar fashion to Space Station 13 but there's usually no server that runs by the original name. Since the server names are player host provided, such are also unusable as alternate titles for this game even if they pop up in screenshots and similar.**Undefined elements: Forcing other characters to wear something, or undressing them. * Randomly selected disaster for each "round", this includes randomly chosen player controlled antagonists. Multiple disasters can happen during same match. * Pseudo-randomly selected characters for players, though some are actually selectable due to them being "free"
