Future Shock and Skynet. Two FPS shooters made by Bethesda for DOS PC. Future Shoch was released in 1995, and was one of the earliest polygonal FPS games, it also was one of the earliest in the genre to require mouse aim.(I think Decent beats it?). Future Shock also had pretty sand-boxy levels, where you could explore in buildings. SkyNet is the sequel that was released in 1996. It plays basically like the first game, but with some updated visuals, and hardware rendering support and higher resolutions. The game also adds live action FVM cutscenes. The second game was designed by Todd Howard. SkyNet even came with the original Future Shock. Not perfect. But I liked them.

>I've honestly never heard of this game desu. Anyone got a DL link? I'd like to check it out. I love the Terminator theme/style so it' be neat to play an old school shooter with that design.

I had this and Terminator Skynet when I was 12 or so, back in the day. The game was actually quite innovative for it's day, even though it still had some flaws. Future Shock has fairly open ended map design and you could enter into any building with a textured door. Which would lead to some fairly big interiors. Future Shock is almost a completely polygonal FPS, and yes it does have mouse look aiming, which makes it one of the first of its kind. The game uses Bethesda Softworks's old XnGine engine, the same engine that was later used in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall . The sequel: Terminator: Skynet was also Todd Howards' first game as leader designer. He also worked on Future Shock as well, too.

It will probably never end up on GOG due to licensing, but this and Skynet wouldn't be too hard to find.
