Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is a 1995 fighting game developed and published by Midway for arcades. Part of the Mortal Kombat series, it is a standalone update of 1995's earlier Mortal Kombat 3 with an altered gameplay system and some new features, as well as additional characters like the returning favorites Reptile, Kitana, Jade and Scorpion, who were missing from Mortal Kombat 3. Several home port versions of the game were soon released after the arcade original. Although none were completely identical to the arcade version, the Nintendo DS port came closest. Other versions followed, with some released under different titles, such as Mortal Kombat Advance (2001) for the Game Boy Advance. An iOS version recreating the game using a 3D graphics engine was released by Electronic Arts in 2010. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was mostly well-received and has been considered a high point for the Mortal Kombat series. However, the iOS remake and some other home versions were received poorly.
Quake
Quake is a 1996 first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by GT Interactive. The first game in the Quake series, it was originally released for MS-DOS and Windows, followed by Mac OS, Linux, and Saturn in 1997 and Nintendo 64 in 1998. The game's plot is centered around teleportation experiments, dubbed slipgates, which have resulted in an unforeseen invasion of Earth by a hostile force codenamed Quake, which commands a vast army of monsters. The player takes the role of a soldier (later dubbed Ranger), whose mission is to travel through the slipgates in order to find and destroy the source of the invasion. The game is split between futuristic military bases and medieval, gothic environments, featuring both science fiction and fantasy weaponry and enemies as the player battles possessed soldiers and demonic beasts such as ogres or armor-clad knights. Quake heavily takes inspiration from gothic fiction and in particular the works of H. P. Lovecraft.
Cruis'n USA
Cruis'n USA is a racingvideo game developed by TV Games Inc. and published by Nintendo. It was first released in arcades in 1994 by Midway Games, with a port to the Nintendo 64 developed by Leland Interactive Media released in 1996. It is the first game in the Cruis'n series, and features races set in locations across the Continental United States. Cruis'n USA is branded as the first release of the "Ultra 64" platform collaboration between Midway and Nintendo, although it was based on the Midway V-unit arcade hardware; again, the unit was different from the Killer Instinct "Killer Instinct (1994 video game)") arcade hardware, which also shared no lineage with the Nintendo 64. The home port was published by Nintendo as part of the deal. The arcade version was critically and commercially successful, drawing favorable comparisons to Sega's Daytona USA. The Nintendo 64 version received poor reviews but was also commercially successful.
Doom 64
Doom 64 is a 1997 first-person shooter game developed and published by Midway Games for the Nintendo 64. It is the second spin-off in id Software's Doom series "Doom (franchise)") after Final Doom (1996), and the fourth game in the series overall. Doom 64 was developed from 1994 by Midway Studios San Diego under supervision of id Software, the main developer of the Doom franchise, and was tentatively titled Doom: The Absolution. It uses a customized version of the Doom engine, enabling new kinds of level geometry, and dynamic colored lighting. The game features new sprite graphics for weapons and monsters. Doom 64 received positive reviews from critics, who praised its graphics, level design, soundtrack, and atmosphere, although some criticized the lack of new gameplay elements compared to the previous games of the series. It gained a cult following, with several fan-made PC source ports and mods.
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is a 1997 action-adventure game developed and published by Midway for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. A spin-off of the Mortal Kombat franchise, it is the first installment not to be a fighting game. Set before the Mortal Kombat, it follows Bi-Han, the elder Sub-Zero, in his quest to find Shinnok's amulet. It also serves as a prequel to Mortal Kombat 4, which was released the same year, introducing characters and story elements that would be used by the fourth main installment. Mythologies is the final game in the series to use digitized actors. The game drew a divisive response from critics, with the PlayStation version considered the superior of the two releases. Praise was directed at the transition from the fighting game genre to action-adventure and the PlayStation version's live-action cutscenes, but the controls and punishing level design received criticism.
