PowerSlave: Exhumed

Interconnected level design

A retro first-person shooter set in ancient Egypt with a sci-fi twist: you fight through maze-like temples, hunt for keys and secrets, and collect new weapons. This re-release adds higher resolution and gamepad support while leaving the original game untouched.

Alien Breed

Sci-fi setting

A classic top-down shooter where you fight through an alien-infested space station, juggling scarce ammo, health and mission objectives. Its tense sci-fi horror mood is clearly inspired by the Alien films.

System Shock

Interconnected level design

This remake of the cult classic leaves you alone on the Citadel space station, ruled by the deranged AI SHODAN. You explore sprawling interconnected levels, fight to survive, solve puzzles and piece together the story through audio logs in a bleak cyberpunk atmosphere.

Doom 64

Interconnected level design

A classic first-person shooter where you blast through 30+ grim levels of demons, hunt secrets and track down the Mother of Demons. The remaster of the N64 original delivers retro pacing, key-hunting level design and an eerie atmosphere.

Doom 3

Dread and tension

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Jumping and platforming

A film tie-in action game where you play as different characters, including a raptor and a T-Rex, fighting and evading dinosaurs through jungle levels with a mix of shooting and platforming.

Aliens versus Predator 2

Sci-fi setting

An atmospheric first-person shooter where you play three distinct campaigns as Marine, Predator and Alien, each with its own playstyle. The dark Alien-universe setting creates tense horror built on ambushes and hunting.

Half-Life: Source

Interconnected level design

The Source engine version of the shooter classic: as scientist Gordon Freeman you fight through aliens and soldiers after an experiment goes wrong at Black Mesa. Updated lighting, water and physics refresh the look, but it remains the tightly scripted, linear original.

Aliens versus Predator

Dread and tension

A classic first-person shooter with three separate campaigns as Marine, Predator or Alien. Each species has its own abilities and weapons, giving a very different feel from tense horror to stalking prey.
