Magic: The Gathering - Armageddon
1997
Magic: The Gathering: Armageddon is an extremely rare arcade game published by Acclaim in 1997, somewhat similar to BattleMage. It is possible that as few as four machines were made. Acclaim's Mountain View, California-based coin-op division went out of business shortly after creating the game, so it never went into full production. GamePro reported that Armageddon was shown to their editors behind the scenes at the 1997 ASI show in Las Vegas, but did not appear on the show floor.The arcade board used 3dfx components and included 600 MB of RAM. Gameplay is a cross between real time combat and strategy, with characters representing one of the five colors. White had healing and soldiers; Blue countermagic and water creatures; Black death and undead creatures; Red fire and mountain creatures; and Green elves and forest magic. The game was controlled with a trackball, and supported up to two players. Players could summon creatures to the arena as well as attack the opposing wizard directlySan Francisco Rush: The Rock Alcatraz Edition

Behind Enemy Lines
1997
Behind Enemy Lines is a first person rail shooter where the player controls a machine gun mounted on a jeep driving through enemy territory. The game consists of four missions that all involve infiltrating and destroying various enemy facilities. The setting is modern and enemies include simple foot soldiers, light vehicles such as Jeeps, Humvees, and heavy vehicles like tanks and helicopters. As in other rail shooters, the player's control is limited to moving a crosshair and shooting, while movement is automatic. The main weapon is a machine gun that can fire both bullets and missiles. There is no reloading, and it's not possible to run out of ammo completely but if the ammo counter gets too low the firing rate will decrease. Therefore, more ammo has to be collected by destroying ammo crates. Missiles, too, have to be collected by destroying crates. They can however only be used on certain heavy targets, such as helicopters and tanks and when aiming on these the missile will automatically lock on the target andChuugokuryuu II
