These games were always on the top of my lists to install on a fresh DOS install.

Great games with true fps 6 degrees of freedom.

I'll always have one specific memory for this game. I took my PC over to a friend's house and we linked with a serial cable. This was one of the games we tried to play against each other.

I don't know what the problem was, but as his machine was better specced, gameplay was fine for him but an unplayable crawl for me.

He kicked my arse and all I saw my end was my defeat in the form of a slow slideshow!
