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]
Final Fantasy VII	Eidos;Square Enix (Square;Square Enix)	1998	The game was re-released in 2012 with the following added: cloud saves, achievements, and an easy access cheat ("Character Booster"). And updated to run on modern Windows OS.*Supposedly, this is not a code port. None of the original source code was used by the outside team from Hawaii that brought this game to Windows. When FF7 for PlayStation was completed, the entire team was reassigned or fired and their unique hardware was sold or dismantled. The source code was unique to the development hardware. Without the specialized hardware, the source code was not compileble or even modifiable in any useful way. Square had neither the people nor the code to do a port. All the new team had was the data specific to the PSX (barely useful) and unuseable source code. Eventually the team discovered that what they had been given was not even from the final PSX version, it was roughly rendered temporary data and pre-alpha code that had never actual been successfully compiled. And to top it off, no one on this new team had every worked on a game before. All this is known because all of the debug information (including rants and raves by the team) were unintentionally left in the executable.*First PC conversion of a Final Fantasy game that finally brought the bizarre numbering system in line in both Japan and Europe/USA. PC RPGs were never the same again, the gigantic storyline and superb combat translated into the keyboard PC layout with surprising success.

Silver	Infogrames (Infogrames UK)	1999	From official site: "Silver, a corrupt and sinister sorcerer, rules the land of Jarrah with a cruel iron fist. He and his henchmen have abducted the village women as part of a pact with the almighty god, Apocalypse. Now, only one man can put a stop to Silver and his minions-it's you, David, a promising young knight whose wife languishes among the captured. In order to succeed you'll need to recruit allies, master swordplay, learn the art of magic, and venture through hostile worlds teeming with Silver's corrupt followers. Begin the quest, become the hero!"

There's also separate patch for Nvidia GPUs, released presumably in 2001.*Seemingly based on the 1997 movie, the 1999 CG series and the original book to varying degrees.

The Marine game was generally regarded as superior to either of the alien games, but two years on AvP2 still failed to match Half-Life as most people's favourite FPS.*Sequel to one of the most frightening games ever made, Aliens vs. Predator 2 takes you to Planet LV1201, where three diverse and bloodthirsty species battle for survival. The story-driven plot weaves together the fates of all three races, while the action is as heart stopping as the blockbuster films on which this game is based. Choose to play as Alien, Predator, or Marine as you use your physical prowess, killer instincts, or superior firepower to stay alive.
AquaNox	Fishtank Interactive;JoWooD Productions (Massive Development)	2001	[b]difficulty-ingame[/b] - only at the various stations and other ports.*In the game's backstory, humanity engaged on an endless war as the resources on the surface dwindled and were insufficient to sustain their desired level of living (or any level for that matter).

Bandits: Phoenix Rising	PAN Vision (GRIN)	2003
Starscape	Moonpod	2003	[b]real-time combat[/b] - some nodes are devoid of enemy presence (especially after you've destroyed them all), so this is somewhat inaccurate, but (more) enemies can warp in at any time (sort of), so it's sufficient.*If you like arcade shooters and don't mind spending half of your time mining asteroids for minerals, you might actually like this. However, arcade shooter fans will be more at home with this than most others as the game starts to get quite hectic towards the end. Maintaining mineral reserves, protecting the mobile spacestation, and repairing your ship and the station even during the fights will get quite common tasks. Asteroid mining is more required by research and development of new ships and ship hardware than for repairs as some of the larger enemy ships actually leave some minerals or hardware to be used for repairs, often in sufficient numbers. The other part of the game is spent hunting the bigger ships, mostly mining vessels as their destruction detracts the enemy's ability to produce more units within each zone, and to find grid information for important locations not normally shown in the grid map. The game world is split into five zones, each larger than the last, which you can explore in any order you wish but jumping more than one zone will spell certain doom as you need the technology from the previous ones to survive (and unlock the more powerful hardware). The grid and zone maps work in some semi-turn-based fashion, with time passing when you move or when you hit the skip time button. Time also passes freely when inside a grid node, where the game runs in real-time - the enemy continues to produce new units, harvest other grid nodes, and move forces around, even bringing reinforcements occasionally in while you spend your time there. Overall it's a nice game, but towards the end, especially the final boss, you start wishing you hadn't touched the game in the first place - unless you have masochistic tendencies with video games.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, XP or Vista * 300 MHz Pentium II CPU * 16 MB VRAM * 3D accelerator * 110 MB HD space**With most of its crew missing and its weapons systems ruined the space research station Aegis is all but lost. As the last remaining pilot you must help rebuild the station's defences, acquire alien technology and create your own uniquely configured set of fighters. By mining the asteroids within the grid dimension, valuable resources can be harvested to fuel the Aegis' molecular furnace and build devastating weaponry. In the warp you will encounter allies to aid in your struggle to escape, uncover the terrible purpose of the evil Archnid race and learn why you and the rest of the crew were brought here.

Nexus – The Jupiter Incident	Vivendi Universal;HD Interactive (Mithis Entertainment)	2004	I'm still surprised by this title and it is one of my all-time favourites (even among the favorites). The first (and still the only) tactical starship game I've played, and I haven't seen any others come up since or before. Realistic starship physics - no constant propulsion when they're moving, only acceleration and deceleration - which is amazingly rare in games even these days (and certainly not in the mainstream games). Unusual - if not exactly impressive - story despite its few lackluster elements. Even the graphics look [i]a lot[/i] better than in games made several years later, despite the fact it was made for inferior hardware that ran it quite well. All-in-all this is an undeservingly unappreciated among space simulation/strategy games with barely anyone even having heard of it.**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, 2000 or XP * Pentium III 1 GHz CPU * 128 MB RAM * GeForce 2 GPU * 1.4 GB HD space * 64 Kbps modem for internet multiplayer*Among many others, Nexus was known at one point as [i]Imperium Galactica III: Genesis[/i], but no longer has any connections with that game series nor its [url=/groups/info/4Xstrategy]4X[/url] genre.Immerse yourself in "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident", the latest surprise to hit the gaming world! Innovative and groundbreaking, it is a real-time mission-based tactical space game featuring spectacular real time battles and breathtaking motion picture quality. Focus on tactics and action as you control up to a dozen battleships encountering aliens, unknown solar systems and astrophysical phenomena in your struggle to save Earth. At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system is being monopolized by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah's Ark, the first colony ship of mankind. At the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident". You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict. "Nexus – The Jupiter Incident" is what we call a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator. It's like nothing you've played before. The strong, elaborate story takes you from mission to mission and allows different approaches. It's up to you which tactics you choose to bring each mission to a good end. A reward system enables you to repair, upgrade and enhance your ships depending on the approach you chose. Mission briefings let you roam through an unbelievably accurate 3D animated star map system. Are you ready to take on the challenge...?

Ys: The Oath in Felghana	Falcom;XSEED Games (Falcom)	2005	When redheaded thrill-seeker Adol Christin and his eternal blue-haired companion Dogi make an unannounced visit to Dogi's homeland of Felghana after an eight-year absence, it quickly becomes apparent that things have changed dramatically. Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, a long-dormant volcano has suddenly sprung back to life and the new lord of the land has begun mercilessly and inexplicably extorting money from its long-suffering citizens. While Dogi seeks out his former combat master for answers, Adol tends to the townsfolk -- and finds himself embroiled in a world of political conspiracies, ancient legacies and unthinkable taboos. A complete 3D reimagining of the 16-bit console classic "Ys III: Wanderers From Ys," Ys: The Oath in Felghana is a fast-paced action role-playing game with tight controls, Metroidvania-style exploration elements, intense combat with epic screen-filling boss battles, and a thrashing, percussive arranged soundtrack that's been heralded by many as one of the best of all time. Based on the original 2005 PC release, this classic is finally officially available in English with added Steamworks features such as achievements and cloud saving. Come see why Falcom fans the world over regard this game as "Ys, Perfected"! Key Features: * Six difficulty levels ranging from "Very Easy" for casual players to "Inferno" for true old-school gaming masters. * Unlockable "Time Attack" and "Boss Rush" modes for anyone looking to show off his/her boss-taming abilities. * Over 30 unique Steam Achievements as well as Steam Cloud support. * Adjustable high-resolution PC graphics with original blood effects intact. * Gamepad support in addition to standard keyboard and mouse controls.
The Punisher	THQ (Volition)	2005	There's a fan made "uncensored" patch out there that makes the violence more graphic (more or added blood), removes a black&white effect during some of the more gory events and apparently makes the camera show things from more visible angle. Not sure if this is only for US and/or UK version of the game as those are specifically mentioned. Other releases of the game may already have all this in.*[spoiler=Point rewards;Hide point reward list]Listed in order of gained points, from least to most. 1) Grenades (less than 100, [i]per grenade[/i] regardless of the number of kills) 2) Shooting (100 or less) 3) Interrogation/torture + kill with torture (200 for torture) - this is usually accidental as some torture methods are more difficult to control 4) Quick Kill (200 or less) 5) Melee weapons (250 or less, single use) - useful for cases where you have to use Quick Kill 6) Thrown dagger in Punisher Mode (255 with no point degradation) 7) Interrogation/torture + Quick kill (200 or less for torture 100 or less for quick kill) 8) Special kill or special torture on mob with info (usually 500 or more, one use per location) Point gain dwindles as you repeat the same action (especially with the same weapon), so you may eventually need to switch down on this list, but the point gains reset for each section or level so it isn't so very permanent. You gain no points for enemies killed by other enemies, so although you can use living shields, it isn't point efficient and poor accuracy from enemies can kill them too even if you aren't holding them as a shield.[/spoiler] Points are used for upgrades, such as increased ammo capacity, some weapon attachments, and such. One of the most useful investments being the upgrade that gives you health from kills, however illogical that is. Killing perps with torture is worth -20 points and obviously no rewards for successful interrogation or the subsequent Quick Kill. Torturing wounded enemies is easier as they regain their composure much slower and feel more threatened by it, but as some methods actively harm them, this may result in their untimely death. Successful interrogation restores a small portion of your health. This is also the only way for recovery besides the upgrade that gives you health from kills.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP * 1 GHz Pentium III or Athlon XP CPU * 128 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * 2 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU * 256 MB RAM * 128 MB VRAM * GeForce 4 or Radeon 8500 GPU

Star Wars: Republic Commando	LucasArts;Electronic Arts (LucasArts)	2005	Con un interfaz que recuerda mucho a juegos como el SWAT, pero de manejo mucho más sencillo, brilla por ser capaz de ponerte en situaciones muy diversas con las que lidiar (especialmente cuando tus compañeros no saben darse la vuelta para pegar al enemigo que les respira en la nuca) tanto por tu propio mano como haciendo que el equipo acate órdenes de cobertura, demolición, etc... Aunque los diseños de niveles son sencillos, eso resulta ser una virtud para otorgarte mejor control de la situación ante amenazas que normalmente te superan en número o poder, y se nota mucho la diferencia entre cuando se dan las órdenes correctas y cuando se les deja a su aire. Por último, la aparición de enemigos poderosos con gran cantidad de vida hace que el juego tenga algo parecido a minijefes, que son posiblemente el reto más entretenido del juego. 8 de 10*2005-03-01 as boxed, by LucasArts??? 2009-07-08 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng)Comes on 2 CDs.Latest version: retail There's a 1.0 "patch" available, but the retail version is already 1.0 and the patch actually has only single multiplayer map in it.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP * 1 GHz Pentium III or Athlon cPU * 256 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * 2 GB HD space * 8X CD-ROM drive [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon XP CPU * 512 MB RAM * 128 MB VRAM * 16X CD-ROM drive

AREA-51	Midway (Midway Games Austin)	2005	Released as (ad supported) freeware in 2008-10.
Cold Fear	Ubisoft Entertainment (Darkworks)	2005	There's only two things I dislike about this game. For one, being able to carry every single weapon found. This is supposed to be survival horror, you know. For second, the boss battle. I can't remember playing more aggravating boss battle than this on PC (console gamers seem to love these insanely overpowered bosses as they're so damn common on them). Way overpowered compared to anything else met and [i]nothing[/i] prepares you for it. Finally used a trainer to get through it because the game was sitting at the final battle for over a month (probably one fourth of the game can be played in the same amount of time I invested solely on the boss battle). [spoiler=Grievances with boss battle;Hide]Effectively you have to shoot the boss until he turns his attention to you, dodge the charge he makes either left or right, by staring at him in the aim view until he raises either of his arms to strike (so you know which side to dodge to), and repeat this until Anna escapes (which takes some 5+ charges). After this you have to wait for him to charge, dodge that, and then run back in front of him so he can grab you - YES! you have to intentionally let him grab you here. And then hit action button to get released. After you do this the third time, you can shoot him in the face. This has to be repeated about 3 times in total, so that's surviving about 9 more charges while managing to let him grab you. You don't have any healing items and you die on the third charge you fail to dodge. There's also the fact that the only way to dodge the boss is to stare down at him until he raises either of his arms (lest you wish to rely on luck as there's no pattern) and then swivel quickly to the opposite side, release aim and [i]run[/i]. There's probably less than a second for you to do this, so imagine repeating this sequence few times, dying at the final part several dozen times because you [i]can't[/i] do it fast enough, and that's pretty much it for playing this game through without cheating.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Third grievance and a spoiler;Hide]Tom gets infected second time but I don't recall him getting an antidote, so I have to assume he spreads the parasites to the rest of the world.

The Reticulans who invaded the Earth are not true representatives of their kind, they are a breakaway faction that burned the bridges and chose this backwater part of space to conduct its experiments. The Reticulans would construct a large satellite (several kilometres across) with a closed ecosystem and move the remnants of human population there. The experiment with the Biomass would go on on the surface. Then something went horribly wrong...
Call of Duty 2	Activision (Infinity Ward)	2005	Once again you can experience the WWII battlefield, in Call of Duty 2. This sequel adds a new game engine, which provides improved visuals, AI, and weather effects.

X³: Reunion	Deep Silver (Egosoft)	2005	A game about the vastness of the space in a very big universe filled with all kinds of stuff (as ships, stations, asteroids...) and comprising a lot of different ways to play the game (militar, merchant, raider, police, transporter, salvager...) Its complexity and freedom are almost infinite, and has very clever features as speeding the time (for long travels) and very well-crafted reputation and market systems. But there are 3 big issues with the game: -The interface and controls are straight horrendous, forcing to employ the auto-pilot more than it should. -The mission panel is very spartan and doesn´t records any indication of a possible mission (only points at already signed contracts, not featuring indications recieved in messages) -Theres only 1 message log (important and worth-saving messages merge with a gigantic clutter of mundane conversations and tips) These 3 problems make the in-game progress very difficult and immensely slow, and the game very boring/frustrating to play. 3 of 10*Greatest flaw in this that I see is that there's no task tracker. You're forced to remember and make notes yourself of what you agree to do and what others tell you to do, though you can review the message log as you like, it's hardly intuitive. This is especially bad considering the game's a sandbox.Latest version: 2.5 (as of 2007)*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP * 1.7 GHz Pentium IV CPU * 512 MB RAM * 128 MB VRAM * 2 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.4 GHz Pentium IV CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM
