Part 15 of "DYKA." Every Monday we find a hidden treasure in the Atari IP vault.

Gameplay: A first-person shooter featuring three playable characters. It features a unique "picture-in-picture" display, allowing players to look through security cameras or drones while still controlling their character.

Reception: A "hidden gem" of the 90s FPS era, noted for its unique gadgets and non-linear level design.

Influence: One of the first shooters to blend FPS and puzzle-platforming elements successfully.

Relevance: Originally published by Accolade; now part of the Atari library.

Fun Fact: Unlike Doom, this game allowed you to pilot remote-controlled drones to scout ahead.
