Heavily D&D influenced science fiction FPS from brilliancy of Warren Spector. Takes a lot of themes and popular ideas and rolls them together in what would ultimate move on to become Deus Ex. Everything from illuminatiesque conspiracy themes, to influences like robocop and judge dredd (and probably hexen and other ID projects at the time...) Also the open world and city interactions. Really ahead of it's time in many ways. The stylish comic book art looks fantastic in MS DOS. Great use of little things (like scan lines) and sound. Menus, etc. You like games like System Shock or Deus Ex you should check it out.

The funky weapon selection/item selection with some very fast and vicious enemies, makes It's a bit rough to play. Reminds me of CyClones. But it is playable.
