Attic of the Underdogs

Outstanding freeware gem by John Nyman that is not very (read: not at all) well-known. Free Combat is a cool top-down combat simulation with a great feature not seen in any other game: a realistic line of vision. In the tradition of Twilight 2000, the game casts you as a hired gun fighting for the all-powerful Mercenary Organization. Your job is to accomplish a wide variety of missions ranging from hostage rescuing, item retrieval, assassinations, and more. The game is a tactical-scale, real-time simulation with realistic equipment data and damage system.
