As HandEFood, I gave my top 10 games.
I heard Crusader mentioned often. What is it anyway?
Was released in DOS era still. Made by Origin, basically you had this futuristic setting where the World Economic Consortium (WEC) controls everybody, except the rebels of course. You're "Silencer" guy in a red suit of armour, basically one of the bad guy's paracomandos. Because you failed catching some rebels, they sent this big robot with twin machine guns after you. Both your partners die (there's three of you, arguing about that they'll kill you for losing track of the rebels). But you were an inch smarter than them and dodged the slaughter. You then join the rebels and go out to kill. - That's the intro of the first one (Crusader: No Remorse).
For it's time, this game had good graphics, isometric of course. You had arsenals varying from regular machine guns till rocket launchers or plasma guns. Usually you'd have to find keys to open doors and blow up stuff. The later which you could do a lot btw. Have a rocket launcher? Spot that weak door? Yup, you can blow it up. It also had nice inventions like rolling, spider mines, more blowing up, etc. Furthermore there were security cameras, traps and an array of enemies varying from weak guards to heavy security robots. A few new things were introduced in the expansion/sequel: Crusader: No Regret. In the sequel you end up in a spacestation after the events of the first game. It was sold as an a full new game, but overall should've been an expansion though. Still, it had more of the same fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I never go the play the second game beyond the demo, but the first game was freaking awesome. It's not an RPG, but few games can rival it's gameplay even up to now. Oh and did I mention it wasn't easy either? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And for that time, the music in this game rocked as well. I remember just sitting in the setup screen to hear the music. The flesh eating gun was quite fun too. You shot and basically everything was eaten away in a second or two. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Checking online, it was also released for Playstation and Sega Saturn apparently, though I didn't know that. I also found a link with some screenshots right
here.
