PiD, as Pathways is commonly known is really an incredible game. PiD wasn't only a
FPS as one might gather from the above post, but it was an
adventure game. As you killed aliens, you gained proficiency with your various weapons. As you recovered treasure and items, you gain points which translate into
hit-points.
In the 1930s, Hitler sent a group of men under the command of a man named Muller. Muller was a greedy bastard, he let his men get slaughtered while trying to recover a treasure. Their mission was to find an artifact that would allow Germany to rule the world. Luckily, the inhabitants of the temple proved to be too much for them.
Many years later, a group of Spanish-speaking soliders (it's hinted at that they could be Cubans,) attempt to locate the artifact, only to meet the same fate as the Germans.
Fast foward several years. A hologram of a Jjaro representative appears to the President of the United States and several others warning us that an alien power known as the Sleeping God will awaken soon and destroy the world. As a member of an elite commando team, it is your duty to venture to the depths of the temple, plant a nuclear bomb and get out before the Sleeping God awakes. Unfortunately, your parachute fails to deploy and you get seperated from your team. You must do battle with the aliens alone!
PiD is an excellent game, at some times, it can even border on frightening, simply because it's very easy to die. It has a large number of items, ranging from mundane to magical, tons of enemies (flying rats to Barney on Steroids), excellent graphics for it's time, and a
STORY!
If you have a Mac, get your hands on PiD.
