Overview
Description

You step into the boots of Daniel Hanson, commander of humanity's inaugural expedition to the remote world of Meridian. Expecting an empty landscape, your crew receives a distress call that thrusts you into an unforeseen crisis. Navigate a sci‑fi real‑time strategy experience where every decision can mean the difference between survival and disaster. Explore alien terrain, manage resources, and confront the unknown in this indie RTS adventure.

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.
