Unreal
Unreal is a first-person shooter video game developed by Epic MegaGames and Digital Extremes and published by GT Interactive in May 1998. It was powered by an original gameplay and physics engine that now bears the game's name, one that had been in development for over three years in founder Tim Sweeney's garage before the game was released. Since the release of
Unreal, the franchise has had one sequel and two different series based on the
Unreal universe. One official bonus pack, the Epic-released Fusion Map Pack, can be downloaded free of charge.
Unreal Mission Pack: Return to Na Pali was released in June 1999, and added new missions to the single player campaign of
Unreal.
Unreal and
Return to Na Pali would later be bundled together as
Unreal Gold. Additionally, the games were updated to run on the
Unreal Tournament version of the game engine.
