D/Generation

(Mindscape, 1991)

This was one of those "little games" that packed a big punch! Why? Because it used graphic "tricks" that wouldn't be seen by most PC gamers until many years later. Its isometric perspective graphics (similar to 1996's Diablo, or 1995's Crusader : No Remorse) were perfect to set the mood of a secret lab building whose experiments, as you probably guessed, went terribly awry. The person to stop this threat, of course, is "you"...no matter how surprising that might be! First, you must dodge faulty security systems, and then the bigger secutiry threat, of genetic experiments which have escaped! These experiments are of various stages, or "generations," of this bold technology, including the A/Generation, B/Gen.and C/Gen genetic weapons. By the end, you meet up with the initial D/Gen prototype itself...and it cannot be stopped by any hand held weapon! Your method for survival is classic thrills, and spawned many similar knock-offs, spin-offs, and "clones," no matter how few modern game designers want to give credit where credit is due. Regardless, this game is on Techtite's choices of Top 50 Multimedia Classics; one of the vanguards of many more similar games to come...

Rating : Deep Impact.
