The year is 1995, and Abuse brings us one of the slickest, darkest run-and-gun shooters ever to crawl out of a DOS/Linux/Mac basement. You play a guy in prison for a crime he didn’t commit (sure, pal), armed to the teeth and mowing down mutants like it’s casual Friday. It’s gritty, fast, and has mouse aiming — in 1995! That alone makes it feel like someone time-traveled from the future and left behind a masterpiece covered in slime and gunpowder.

Prob was the first game that gave me strong emotions. The sounds were quite eery, the mouse-controlled aim brilliant for that time. Very cool.

Great game (the screenshots are extremely brighten up, it is more darker) but the biggest drawback was the game engine and the low fps. Enemies are fast and because of the low fps you often have no chance.
