"Pył" or "Dust" is a Polish first-person shooter for MS-DOS and Windows which was released in 1998.
It was developed by only four people under the label "Optimus Nexus". Compared to other contemporary productions, the plot of the game is complex and the gameplay is difficult in some places, and the level of difficulty of the puzzles is quite crisp.
In addition to the normal software renderer, the specially developed graphics engine also supports the Glide interface from 3dfx. Unfortunately, the game was never distributed outside of Poland and is therefore relatively unknown in the rest of the world.
STORY:
The action takes place in the distant year 2798. Mankind has colonized many planets in the meantime. But war breaks out between the ruling galactic empire and the many colonies that have joined together to form a federation. After years of fighting, the Federations and Empire have agreed to take their fighting differently. Namely on a distant moon, called "Arena".
