Story:Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In (released in Europe as simply Project I.G.I.) is a tactical first-person shooter developed by Innerloop Studios and released on December 15, 2000 by Eidos Interactive. It is one of the first computer games to feature realistic weaponry and tactical combat situations.
Pursue and defeat a homicidal ex-Russian Colonel before she turns Europe into a nuclear wasteland in Project IGI: I'm Going In. This first-person shooter emphasizes stealth and guile instead of massive firepower. Jones has to sneak into the toughest military installations in Eastern Europe, and once inside, use his skills in thievery, computer hacking, sabotage, and reconnaissance to stop the madwoman. The enemy's Artificial Intelligence will react to his every action and use military tactics to track his position. In order to counter its surveillance, bunkers, tanks, and gunships, Jones is equipped with NATO spy gear and assault weapons. If the odds get stacked too high against him, he can call in a napalm strike via his Map Computer.
Upon release the game garnered mixed reviews due to a number of shortcomings, such as poorly programmed Artificial intelligence, lack of a mid-game save option, and the lack of multiplayer features. However it was praised for its superb sound design and graphics, thanks in part to its use of a proprietary game engine that was previously used in Innerloop's Joint Strike Fighter. It was followed up in 2003 by I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike.Show more

It was my favorite game from my childhood. In every corner at this game i felt like i was there before, in a dream or something. But when i grown up - i couldn't find it anymore. I don't want to download illegal copies, use "No CD" patches etc. I just want my favorite game back.
Project I.G.I. was so innovative for its time ! One of the first, if not the first FPS game, to offer so much liberty in large open maps and close close sensations of being an agent going behind enemy lines, trying either to be stealthy or to go full guns blazing. The game was hard and had no save system but this was all part of the fun, it pushed us to surpass ourselves and learn every part of the map to get to the end of the mission.
It was one of the games opening the era of great tactical games back then, it needs to be preserved !
I wrote a big 1000 character post about this but the page error'd out and deleted it when I hit share so I'll keep this brief. I never really got along with my dad, but one day he brought this game home and we just sat and played for hours at a time, I value my memories of this game as one of the few times me and my father really connected and weren't arguing about something. It's a foundational memory for me and something that will stick with me forever, the fact that right now this game is essentially lost to time is disappointing to say the least. But this program is a fantastic chance to bring it back.
I wont lie to you and say it will sell a billion copies, but for the fans of this game, nothing comes close. It would be incredible to have this back in my life.
Playing the game with cousins during out childhood while sneaking throught enemy base was always fun and an adrenaline rush in our childhood . Love the game a lot
played this when i was like 7 , this was my first fps game , didnt knew games with fpp existed. it looked so amazing the missions felt like im some secret spy , the combat and gunplay was really ahead of its time it gives me a hit of nostalgia whenever i remember igi
Not only does Project IGI have beautiful visuals (shared with the Joint Strike Fighter engine), the soundtrack is also very fitting (and still on my phone to listen to!) - it's certainly not the all-time best spy action game for everyone, but it has a special place in my heart since childhood. Oh, and yes, you can reach the end of the game world after like 3-4 hours of walking.
I remember like it was yesterday, I was vising my cousin who had a PC (my family didn't own one at the time), it was Christmas 2002 or 2003, and he showed me this game. It was incredible, looked and sounded great, had great atmosphere (still remember a map when there was constant rain) and seemed so realistic. I would love to be able to play it again on modern hardware.
One of the first game I've ever played on my Second Hand PC. Still remember the time when I found it randomly while going through start and it only had a folder icon but not game icon. I dont even know if I completed it or not because all I could see were only 3 levels in game. I never found out if there was more to the game after those 3. Then I moved on to other games like Prince of Persia Trilogy and Halo.
I've never forgotten the game my older brother had on his computer when he was still living alone, so it would be a huge treat to play it again. It makes me feel like a real agent, whether I want to do my best to sneak around the lanes or I just want to fight loose.
Touhou Eiyashou: Imperishable NightThis game features eight playable characters, with four starting preset teams of two and unlockable individual character modes. When playing with the character pairs, one character fires when unfocused, while the other switches in and fires when focused, with a reduction in movement speed. The two shot types can be drastically different. The individual characters, with the exception of Remilia and Youmu, do not change shot types while focusing/unfocusing.
Imperishable Night features Last Spells. For the enemy, a Last Spell is a bonus Spell Card which the player can challenge without the option to use bombs and without the risk of losing lives. On the player side, Last Spells are secondary "bomb" Spell Cards, which last longer and do much more damage than normal bombs at the expense of two bomb stocks. Player Last Spells can only be used immediately after being hit, with a grace period of less than 1 second.
Additionally, there is a "Time Orb" system which affects the story/score, as well as a gauge which tracks how human/youkai (normal/focused) you are and determines how you can collect more time orbs.Action Fantasy
Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet DevilEmbodiment of Scarlet Devil features two playable characters to choose from, with two Spell Card types each. Reimu Hakurei can cover a wide area of the screen with weaker attacks, while Marisa Kirisame relies on her speed and power to make up for her thinner attack spread. The bombs show different behavior and damage depending on the character and type chosen.
Unlike its predecessor, Mystic Square, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil comes with an "automatic item collection" feature, which allows you to collect all items on the screen by moving to the top of the screen if you are at full power, as well as a counter-bomb system, which allows you to avoid a fatal hit by using a bomb immediately.
Though there are six total stages in the main game, playing on Easy will end the game after Stage 5.Action Fantasy
Touhou Youyoumu: Perfect Cherry BlossomPerfect Cherry Blossom features three playable characters to choose from, and each character has two different sets of skills. Reimu Hakurei is relatively balanced in all areas. Marisa Kirisame moves faster, and uses more powerful attacks with less range. Sakuya Izayoi moves slower, and uses weaker attacks that can hit just about everything on the screen.
A major addition to Perfect Cherry Blossom is the "Cherry" scoring system. Shooting enemies increases your Cherry Points, bombing or dying decreases your Cherry Points, and reaching 50,000 Cherry Points gives you a temporary shield. Cherry Points eventually lead to a higher Cherry Gauge, which increases the points you receive from Point Items.
Other important changes are the appearance of your character's hitbox while you are focused, the properties of your attacks depending on whether you are focused or unfocused, and a helpful cursor along the bottom margin during a boss battle that shows the location of the boss.
This game is also unique in that it includes a "Phantasm Stage" that can be played only after clearing the Extra Stage. ZUN stated that the Extra Stage in this game was meant to be an "easy mode" version; perhaps Phantasm Stage was the original Extra Stage during development.Action Fantasy
Resident Evil OutbreakResident Evil Outbreak is a survival-horror game released exclusively for the PlayStation 2. The gameplay is similar to the previous Resident Evil games and consists mainly of exploring, solving puzzles, finding items and surviving. It was the first Resident Evil game with multiplayer capability, using the PlayStation 2's online network. Up to four players could participate simultaneously in one scenario. Alternately, in single-player mode, the player is accompanied by two AI-controlled characters.Action Horror Survival
Resident Evil SurvivorResident Evil Survivor is the first Resident Evil title to be rendered in real time as opposed to making use of pre-rendered backdrops. Levels are explored in first person, and when enemies are encountered the press of a button will bring up a targeting reticle for shooting. As with most light-gun games there is infinite pistol ammunition available, but limited ammunition for more powerful weapons. At the end of each level two doors are presented which both lead to different levels, although all paths eventually lead to the same ending.Action Horror Survival
Metal Slug XXMetal Slug XX is an entry in the long-running series of side-scrolling shooters. It is a revised version of Metal Slug 7. The Peregrine Falcons, Marco, Eri, Clark, Tarma, Fio and Ralf, are once again running-and-gunning in colorfully hand-drawn levels, throwing grenades, driving vehicles and slashing enemies.
Metal Slug XX includes various single-player features in the form of a Combat School that lets players return to previously completed missions while executing various objectives; a POW List that shows how many POWs were rescued in each level; and single-player Rankings. Players can also cooperate in Ad-Hoc while gunning down hordes of humorous foes using familiar weapons in seven distinct levels that will see our heroes traverse deserts, mountains, caves and lava pits to finally put an end to their longtime enemy.
This revised version includes additional content including co-op multiplayer and downloadable content, as well as the character Leona Heidern.Action Science fiction
