Combat, a 3D RTS title from the designers of the Close Combat series; Strike Fighters: Project 1, a multi-faceted flight-simulator that features one of the most versatile combat aircrafts of all time, the McDonnell Douglas F-4; Celtic Kings: Rage of War, a real-time strategy game that blends role-playing and adventure elements with innovative gameplay; Prince of Qin, an action RPG that unfolds during the historic Qin Dynasty; Nexagon: The Pit, a 3D real-time tactical game that transports players to a futuristic world unlike any other; Steel Beasts II, the sequel to the award-winning Steel Beasts; and World War II Online, the massively multiplayer online game which unfolds during the relentless period of WWII.
