CYCLONES

 

CyClones is an action packed first person shooter set in the future (2010). Though seemingly just another DOOM clone, its engine could do a lot more than the DOOM engine, allowing for ramps and floors over floors. One interesting feature of CyClones is that you can target your weapon and move your character independently because both targeting and movement are separate controls. CyClones also comes with an in-game tutorial to help you learn the ropes, something that wasn't so usual back then than it is nowadays.

As an interesting aside, Pat Lipo from Raven Software claims that this game has the worst in-game cinematics of all time. :)
