Family Productions last side-scroller released in the final days of DOS gaming, SAF: Secret Armored Force gets rid of all the technical issues from which former games by the company suffered. Even the scrolling runs perfectly smooth, and there are real transparency effects, which are not too common with DOS games overall.
Although not a sequel per se, the game soon evokes memories of lazenca, not only because the player once again takes place in a mecha. Instead of having to chose between two models, though, the machine in SAF unites the agility of the Ripple with the weapons and jetpacks of the Cyber-Troll and for good measure throws in the left & right fire buttons of the shmup sequences in lazenca. Weapons can be upgraded in two levels, and filling the upgrade meter above that unleashes a devastating special attack particular to that weapon. During the first four stages weapons get gradually unlocked. After the initial machine gun follow a frame thrower, a grenade launcher and a laser cannon.
Prelude to Apocalypse (most commonly known as mexx8) was an extensive two-map wizmetal medieval map pack, with tense gameplay. While a little dated or "blocky" by modern standard, used the cutscene engine that first debuted in "Vision of Hatred", this time, the cutscenes have been used in moderation in a way that doesn't break immersion. The maps used custom models and sounds, a rare occurrence in 1997.
Another of Marcus Dromowicz's (mexx) very early works, and one of his most notable ones.
Enemy Nations is areal-time strategy game from Windward Studios. While well received by various game publications the bankruptcy of the publisher forced Windward to sell it exclusively on their company website.
Your friends of the rock band Trip Cyclone win the Battle of the Bands and decide to make video clips in the secluded desert town of Cyclone, Arizona, located amidst the red rocks of Devil's Mouth Canyon. They stay at the house of aunt Pearl and help her out part-time in her cafe. The town seems to have gotten stuck in time decades ago, people are strange and not welcoming to outsiders. When two hikers do not return from their trip in the canyon, on which people believe an ancient Indian curse rests, the villagers set out for a search expedition, only to lose a local villager in the process. The town is restless, tourists stop coming and the band believes they may not be able to make their rock videos, lacking the money to buy equipment. Then they are approached by a strange man wearing a traditional Indian Kachina mask, who names himself Darkcloud.
Darkcloud expresses strong interest in their music and decides to finance the band, even hiring a technician from LA. It is very suspicious but on the other hand the h

AH-64D Longbow Longbow Gold Edition was released in April 1997.

The aliens stole Disneyland and brought it into space! Duke has to bring it back to Earth in this short (1h) fun ride through 2 detailed levels. Sightseeing and action merge!
Another alien attack on Earth... this time the aliens took over a small moon base and are sending troops via teleporters to Los Angeles. The teleporters are being run from a U.S. military establishment on a small, rocky island in the Pacific. Duke is sent there alone (his preference), to find the teleporters and get to the moon base. The trouble is, the moon base is probably locked up. The commander of the base has the only key card - he was murdered in his Embassy Suites hotel room in L.A.. Duke will probably have to retrieve it. If and when he reaches the self destruct center at the base, he will have only a few moments to escape. There is an escape route already defined (leading to the docking bay). It will be opened after the base's self destruct mode has been initiated. Good luck...
