Description
In the near future, during their first interstellar travels, humans encounter a great evil that has been roaming the galaxy for the last few eons. This evil being is an incarnation of the last ancient immortals called Notorious Mental. Mental has set forth to wipe out the Human Race, just for fun, as it has with all the other civilizations in galactic history.

But the enemy has underestimated Earth’s defenses, a secret weapon left by the Sirians, an ancient race which fought against Mental on Earth in ancient times. This device, called the Timelock, will enable Special Forces veteran Sam 'Serious' Stone to return to the time of ancient Egypt and assassinate Mental, saving Mankind from extinction.

In a world where cyberpunk meets fantasy and hi-tech devices are mixed with black magic and psychic powers, Sam travels from the beautiful world of ancient Egypt through many diverse planets, confronting hordes of Mental's hideous minions on his way to the final showdown at Notorious Mental's lair.
  • Fight off wave after wave of countless cannon fodder and save mankind
  • Addictive, fast-paced gameplay topped with cheesy, Duke Nukem-style one-liners
  • Good level design with items, bottlenecks and cover in just the right places

Sam Da Man

One of the fps games that you got when buying a computer back then, nothing fancy , got the dev console , beer friendly, and simple fun, and you dont have to drink tea looking for womens earrings.

good mindless fun

i played this many years ago and had fun, but just understand this is one of those DOOMey type of games, runNgun...that's about it. it is NOT for everyone, most gamers will probably hate this type of game but if you are like me then you won't mind playing it once in a while, it's the same thing every level though so it gets OLD real FAST. i'am good for about half an hour to 45 minutes and i've had enough....time for a break. when i first played it back in the day i was impressed with how good it looked and how smooth it ran on the pretty crappy PC it was played on, but i don't think it aged very well. only get it if it goes on sale, maybe you can get it for a buck or less?

YEAH BABY!

Everything here is great! For being my first time playing this, I had a lot of fun, but in some levels they just want make you life a pain. It has a coop mode which is the best for that kind of situations and also has other modes like deathmatch which is also really good. A great classic to your library! 5/5
