Your goal is to liberate people from computer control, and to achieve this you must annihilate everything in your path while completing a series of resistance-directed missions. In the game, you most take command of the hot piece of hardware referred to at all times as the BFT (it stands for Battle Force Tank, really). I forget how the story really goes, but the point is that it doesn't really matter. Now, somehow the resistance has acquired a piece of the Network's arsenal-a tank no less-and the plan is to send it back through time to save John Connor from the evil T-1000. The Network, as it is called, has turned much of the human population into mindless, docile, computer-addicted zombies-isn't it refreshing to have a contemporary storyline? Only a small underground resistance group has escaped the clutches of the Network, and its members actively strive to save humanity. It is the year 2018, and humankind is being crushed under the mechanical heel of an artificial intelligence that has turned on its masters. However, a respectable execution that does a good job of combining all of the not-so-outstanding features into one neat, playable package makes Recoil a worthwhile game.įor the token background story, Recoil borrows a page out of Terminator's book. The game is rather formulaic in concept and construction and there aren't any outstanding features to speak of. Is Recoil, developed by Zipper Interactive an exception to the norm? Well, no. If you are running Linux, BSD, Solaris or Mac OS X, Wine will run most of the older Windows based software (and DOSBox).In a genre full of retreads and clones, it's sometimes hard to find a 3D shoot-em-up that's even vaguely innovative. Some titles may *mostly* work by simply configuring them to use a compatibility mode. Most Windows titles will need to be run through Windows Virtual PC under the appropriate version of Windows for full functionality.

For DOS titles you will need to use DOSBox. The majority of these games will not run correctly on modern operating systems.
