Overview
Description

Apox merges real‑time strategy fundamentals with first‑person shooter mechanics, letting you crouch, prone, switch weapons, and loot corpses while commanding bases and resources. Soldiers have limited ammo, but share it seamlessly, and can be placed into vehicles to craft custom unit designs. The game supports single‑player, multiplayer, and co‑operative modes, offering strategic site control, resource management, and sci‑fi combat on Linux and PC platforms.

Police Quest: SWAT puts you in the shoes of a tactical police unit, demanding careful planning and precise execution. The game blends strategy, simulation, and action as you coordinate squads, manage equipment, and respond to high‑risk incidents. Released in 1995 for PC and Mac, the title offers a gritty, methodical experience that challenges players to think like real‑world law enforcement while navigating the limitations of 1990s graphics and interface design.
