What is PowerSlave (DOS Classic Edition)?

This single-player DOS first-person shooter casts you as a covert operations specialist entering Karnak after aliens cut off outside contact. You fight through city and tomb levels, crossing bridges, crawling through tunnels, and swimming underwater. Starting with a machete, you search for guns, grenades, a flamethrower, and a magical cobra staff.

For you if...

+you enjoy old-school shooting with exploration and occasional platforming

Not for you if...

−you expect the console versions' nonlinear, backtracking-focused structure
