"That's all we've got." The dispatcher spoke with the deliberate and unemotional tone that always signified trouble. "As Regional Marshall it's up to you. We don't want anything fancy here, not another 'Ganymede Incident.' Just find out if there are any survivors and get them out. This was Settler Plot. You know... families."
"Children?"
"Yes."
"Damn!"

The Colony was one of the first 3D FPS Adventure games on Mac, PC, and Amiga. I spent hours playing this game but never solved it. David Alan Smith (the developer) has since released the game's source on Github, but it would be nice to have a compiled version that ran well on modern systems. Many write-ups of the game (including the one on Wikipedia) state that the DOS version was black and white only. Not true! With the right hardware, the DOS version was in color. Players could toggle between two display modes - wireframe and filled polygon.

Mass Effect 2Are you prepared to lose everything to save the galaxy? You'll need to be, Commander Shephard. It's time to bring together your greatest allies and recruit the galaxy's fighting elite to continue the resistance against the invading Reapers. So steel yourself, because this is an astronomical mission where sacrifices must be made. You'll face tougher choices and new, deadlier enemies.

Game Features:
Shift the fight in your favour. Equip yourself with powerful new weapons almost instantly thanks to a new inventory system. Plus, an improved health regeneration system means you'll spend less time hunting for restorative items.
Make every decision matter. Divisive crew members are just the tip of the iceberg, Commander, because you'll also be tasked with issues of intergalactic diplomacy. And time's a wastin' so don't be afraid to use new prompt-based actions that let you interrupt conversations, even if they could alter the fate of your crew...and the galaxy.
Forge new alliances, carefully. You'll fight alongside some of your most trustworthy crew members, but you'll also get the opportunity to recruit new talent. Just choose your new partners with care because the fate of the galaxy rests on your shoulders, Commander.Action Science fiction
