Star Control
The Star Control series is a trilogy of computer games with a cult following. Based around a space combat game modeled after Spacewar, each of the three games adds to this a strategic or adventure game.
The Terminator: Dawn of Fate
What happens when you take a great sci-fi thriller and have Atari, one of the oldest and greatest video game companies of all time, release a game based on that concept?
EarthSiege 2
Two tremendous artillery rigs crest the hill and begin to pour fire down on what remains of my squadron.
Zathura
It doesn't seem to take a rare breed of developer to produce a traditional franchise game.

Starflight is a space exploration game. Once out into space, the standard interface allows access to different crew members and navigation. The entire galaxy is unknown and it's up to the player to travel to distant planets to explore and land on t..
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division

MechCommander
MechCommander, the fourth installment in the Mechwarrior-series, although the first by Microprose, is also the first to take the _Mechwarrior_ series back to its roots as a tactical-level strategy game.
Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries
Somehow, even when I think I've found the Mech game that'll end my need for these silly action games, providing me with a title that really, really sucks.
Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior
While the plot is initially confusing, thrusting you into the middle of a war that you know little about, it goes a long way in capturing the emotion and bewilderment of a young warrior out on his first foray.
Blast Chamber
This is a unique game set in a 3-D cube. The players must race against each other to obtain control of a crystal.
Carnivores: Cityscape
Scanning the bushes with your binoculars has turned up nothing, but you're not surprised.
Shadow Ops: Red Mercury
The main thing that I think this game does right is to start you out right in the middle of a massive combat that leads to a rather impressive explosion near the very start of the game.
Jet Force Gemini
The insect invasion has begun... The galaxy is being infested by the evil Mizar and his horde of Drones. Already, the planet of Goldwood has been subjugated and the peaceful Tribals enslaved. With an arsenal of mega-weapons at their disposal, the J..

Star Trek: Starfleet Command - Orion Pirates
When starting a single player game, there are three options to choose: tutorial, skirmish, or campaign. If you are new to the _Starfleet Command_ series, the tutorial should be your first choice.
Nano Breaker
Now, if the action in itself was compelling and fun, then this major flaw would be largely forgivable, but this just isn't the case with _Nano Breaker_.
Metal Walker
Stop me if any of this sounds familiar: In Metal Walker
Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M.
You're an Armorine. You're wearing the latest in futuristic battle-armour. Armed with a devastating arsenal, you've got 120 hours to stop an all-out bug invasion of Earth. Or die trying.
