After my Escape from 1983 I return to 1998! A very eXtreme time, at least judging from the titles published at the end of the 90ies: Extreme Assault, Extreme Bullrider, Extreme Canoeing, Extreme-G and so on. But there is one title, that is really outstanding amongst all those halfbaked games: Extreme Paintbrawl a first-person shooter in a fresh setting, namely paintball a teamsport that lends very well to the genre. It also uses the slightly dated but still excellent Build Engine, which you might know from Duke Nukem 3D or Blood.
Before you take a look at what I have to say about the game, wheter it is has been rightfully forgotten or if it's high time it should find a place in your collection, I ask you to consider one question: What makes an excellent first-person shooter?
PS: I am still looking for players for a multiplayer match.
