Ravage D.C.X

Oh man, all games that i bought today are very obscure. Ravage D.C.X is a rail shooter, both air and ground. 

It was developed by Rainbow Studios and published by Inscape / Warner Interactive in 1996.

I don't know nothing about this one, let's see the descritpion in the box "A botched governement experiment has left a portar open for a villainous species of space travelling vermin to infiltrate our universe and ravage (ah, the connection with title :D) everything in their path. As a rebel leader, your mission is to locate and destroy these mecanisms of doom and ultimately blast away every last alien".

Assassin 2015

Assassin 2015 is a first person shooter, developed by BlueSky Software and published in 1996 by Inscape / Warner Interactive.

This is a genre that i know well. I played so many and different first persons shooters in the 90's, but never heard about this one. That's what i like in collecting old games. 

...Althought, maybe there is a reason to never heard about this one...

There is a distinct characteristc in this game, anything you do in the game (kill someone, escape a iminent danger, etc) originates a video showing the action.

Loadstar - The Legend of Tully Bodine

Today i bought a pack of 6 old pc games, but two of them i already owned. Let's begin with the first one, called "Loadstar - The Legend of Tully Bodine". I must confess, i never heard anything about this one.

It was developed by Rocket Science Games, a company defunct since 1997, for PC and Sega CD. This game is a rail-shooter in a sci-fi world, but instead to travel in a ship, we drive a train in a magnetic rail in the moon. Also, use of full-motion-video justifies the 3 CD that comprises the game.

ATAC: The Secret War Against Drugs

Today i bough two very old pc games. The first one is a flight simulation published by Micropose called ATAC. I must confess, i didn't know about this one, althought i played many games from this time (i.e: F-15 Strike Eagle II, F-19 Stealth fighter).

This game has two features that i find interesting: you can pilot both planes and choppers and you fight against drugs cartels, not countries.

Doom II: Hell on Earth

I found this gem lurking around in the web. Doom II is a pc classic. This is the sequel to the First Person Shooter more important in the history of pc gaming. 

Oh, i remember playing this game when i was a teeneger, i like some many others, thinking to myself "these graphics are insane, it's the peek in realism! It's impossible to improve the graphics!". 

In my school, the release of Doom, and it's sequel and the another "doom clones" was what the pc gamers needed to show off against the console gamers (then, most of my colleagues had Mega Drive from Sega).

Funny fact: me and my friends called these games (Doom, Wolfenstein 3d) "in your face" games, then "doom clone" and finally "first person shooters"...
