Notes:

Yet another game from the '90s, this time the very first one done by BioWare: Shattered Steel. Developed after the success of Activision's Mechwarrior 2, Shattered Steel was built using voxel graphics and featured destructible terrain. It was also built for MS-DOS right as Windows 95 was starting to gain traction.

Looking back at this game, one can see a lot of influences that were later exhibited in the Mass Effect series. In particular, there are a lot of similarities with the enemies to the main villains in Bioware's later series.
