CyClones description

Futuristic shooter from the future creators of Heretic, Hexen and Soldier Of Fortune.

Havok, one of the thousands of "cyber clones", realizes he is fighting on the wrong side, and begins to take revenge(b). Despite the plot falling into three simple sentences (by the way, I managed to fit in one), the game has some interesting innovations. For Example, Mouselook. If I'm not mistaken, the first time in the history of shooters it is used here, although done a little differently than in modern games. Also the interface is more reminiscent of RPG games than shooters: here the access to inventory and other items using the mouse. However, the game went at the time unnoticed, even a good graphics engine (called STEAM), which can be compared with DOOMовским, and the presence of side missions not helped the Cyclones to get out of the shadow of the Heretic and Kheksen. Were produced two versions of the game: floppy and cd that includes audio tracks and videobritish (awful, of course, quality).

Now, play CyClones online for free on your browser and make your boring weekend fun and full of entertainment.
