Abuse
Crack Dot Com released Abuse for IBM PC MS-DOS 5.0 in March of 1996. Abuse is a stylish run and gun game that features multi-directional scrolling and firing, seven different weapons, jumping, climbing, teleporters, and destructibility of walls, floors and ceilings.
Targeting is conducted via on-screen mouse-controlled crosshairs. The controlled character can fire in one direction while moving in another (strafing). The character battles mutants, robots, turrets, fliers, mines and forcefields.
Abuse was programmed by Jonathan Clark, its sound was composed by Robert Prince, and its graphics were drawn and animated by Murray McMillan and Duong Nguyen.
Abuse displays in 256-color VGA 320x200 and supports Sound Blaster for Digital sound effects and Roland MPU-401 for music.
Abuse was distributed on 1x CD-ROM and extracts and installs to hard disk drive via custom installer. The install size is 9 megs.
Abuse is a Rational Systems' DOS/4GW Protected Mode run-time. Abuse requires an i80486/DX2-50 MHz CPU, 400 kbytes of free conventional RAM, 8 megs of RAM and 1 meg of vRAM.
Abuse also supports 2-8-player networking. And it can run under Windows 95 to Windows XP, not just MS-DOS.
It would have been awesome if Abuse was coded in and drawn for square-pixel SVGA 640x480.
Abuse Weapons System: Laser, Incendiary Grenade Launcher, Heat-seeking Rocket Launcher, Napalm, Energy Rifle, Novaspheres, Death Sabre.
