Front Lines

Front Lines, released in 1994, is a straightforward DOS action game that wears its inspiration proudly. You’re thrown into military combat scenarios with minimal narrative framing and a clear objective: survive and eliminate everything in your path. The graphics are functional, the sound effects loud, and the gameplay focused on constant forward momentum. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it doesn’t need to. What it offers is immediate action, simple controls, and a steady challenge that keeps you moving. Front Lines feels like a product of its time—in a good way—delivering no-nonsense combat for players who just wanted to get into the action without a lengthy tutorial.
