Damage Incorporated is a 2.5D first-person shooter for Mac OS using the Marathon 2 engine and published by MacSoft in 1997. It was ported to Microsoft Windows.

Gameplay

The player commands a squad of four marines in counter-terrorism operations. Visuals are displayed using the Marathon engine's multi-floor 2.5D system. It includes a networked deathmatch mode.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the Macintosh version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "If you enjoy first-person shooters, you're going to find a lot to like about this."[1]

MacHome Journal chose Damage Incorporated for the "Best Action Game" category in their "Home Choice Awards." They wrote, "With the incorporation of the teamwork concept into a 3-D shooter, Damage Incorporated provides additional strategy and immersiveness in an exhilarating marine strike force game for a mere $30."[5]

MacWorld wrote, "Damage Incorporated's creator admits he has no real military knowledge, and it shows."[3] The reviewer concluded, "It's a valiant attempt to advance the first-person shooter genre by incorporating a strategic element, but poor design and uneven implementation sabotage it."

gollark: What I mean is that people really like having money, and so there are lots of professionals working on doing trading to attain money.

gollark: Oops, that was accidentally quite insulting.

gollark: If it was actually a good and financially sound idea to run that sort of simple strategy, then presumably the many smart and competent people with more money looking at markets would do that, and thus eliminate any easy strategy available to people like you.

gollark: What of the "efficient market hypothesis"?

gollark: I'm glad you can so accurately predict complex market trends and many people's behaviour by thinking about it slightly.
