Games from 1998

Set in the 1920's, it's your job to take over the city, any way you can (murder, bribe, steel, etc.)! A combination of Sim City like style (it's a fake city, and the only connection to the 'real world' is the era) and turn-based planning, where you have lieutenants to control and do the dirty work for you. The more blocks in the city you take over, the more people you have loving your work, making it easier to control each area. But be careful, there are other gangs out there that may not like your work, so blood can get spilled easily.

Black Mesa research facility, an ultra-secret laboratory under government contract, conducting top-secret and extremely volatile experiments with stuff you're not supposed to know about. You are Gordon Freeman, a Black Mesa employee. And this morning, as usual, you pit your way to the research facility for a run-of-the-mill experiment. Only this morning's experiment is not quite as ordinary as you thought. Odd things begin to happen as you make your way to one of the Black Mesa test chambers. Even weirder things happen when you start to move the Test Sample towards the antimass-spectrometer. And you ain't seen nothing yet. Yes indeed, the experiment went wrong. And more importantly, someone wants to keep this hush-hush operation a secret. And you know what that means, you'll have to fight your way through to the top of the Black Mesa complex. Bizarre, alien lifeforms will make your life harder. Trained marine squad will make it even harder. And when you face your ultimate challenge, you'll see just how much being a government employee really does suck.

Incoming aliens! Incoming aliens! Theyve already attacked the international moonbase, and they may already have a base in the Arctic! Earth is building a huge tracking station as first part of the counterattack, but now you detect incoming aliens and they dont look friendly! Defend your base against the initial incursion by manning turret, tank, helicopter, harrier jet, and even captured alien fighter as you battle the aliens in various continents, and eventually lead the counterattack on the moon! Incoming is a 3D shooter with plenty of action. In arcade mode, you can play it as a straight shooter. Some missions have you manning an immobile turret where you simply aim at the sky and engage incoming bogeys. Other missions can have you control a ground hovertank engaging enemy ground threats. Yet other missions will have you control a helicopter, a Harrier jumpjet, and even a captured alien fighter. There are also an action mode and action-tactics mode, where you are given some limited control of other friendly units.

Play a motocross game in a 3D world! Play in a tournament mode in which you race to get to the top or go to the stunt quarry and get points by performing various tricks.

In the third major installment of Electronic Arts' Arcade racing series, there are several modes of play available. You have the standard race, with one big difference - now there are traffic cops out to ticket you for your excessive speed! Watch out! Or you can take your turn with the radar gun and attempt to pull over speeding computer or human racers. Need For Speed III also features an all new graphics engine that supports 3Dfx glide and Direct 3D.
