BioForge

BioForge is a video game in the action genre developed by ORIGIN Systems, Inc. and published by ORIGIN Systems, Inc. originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on DOS.

In the distant future, a fanatical group of religious extremists known as the Mondites have launched a campaign of galactic conquest. They believe in the evolution of man through machine via cybernetic implants. You are one of the unfortunate victims: a prisoner in a Mondite complex on a distant moon, with no memory of your previous life. Your body has been turned into a horrible cybernetic nightmare by the evil Dr. Mastaba. It's up to you to explore the complex (abandoned and on the verge of nuclear meltdown), discover the secrets of the Mondites and the mysterious remnants of the alien civilization they have discovered, and get off this moon alive.

BioForge is a puzzle-solving action game, technologically similar to Alone in the Dark, with polygonal (and textured) characters on pre-rendered backgrounds. Adventure elements involve the hero collecting items and solving puzzles to reach new locations and discover the secrets of the complex. Action elements involve combat against robotic and living enemies with both melee weapons and guns, although some enemies require tricks rather than force to defeat.

Numerous journals, documents and diaries are found throughout the game, which are recorded and can be re-read at any time.

BioForge is available at a reduced price on the following websites and is no longer abandonware.
