"XS" is a first-person shooter released by SCi and GT Interactive on December 31 1996. While not a runaway success, the game introduced many aspects (like shielding) which were later used in games such as "Unreal".

Storyline

The game is set in the far future during a gladiator style blood sport. The main character was told about the event from an associate who is believed dead at the start of the game. You must fight through a number of rounds of Free for all deathmatch style combat, choosing a pair of weapons to use before the match begins. The battles are to the death with the corpses of the losers used as meat for fast food burgers. After defeating all the enemies your associate reveals himself and murders you, taking the prize money for himself.
