Unreal Tournament
Upon its release in early November 1999, Unreal Tournament surprised the gaming community with its rock-solid network code, challenging single-player bot play, unique gameplay modes, and polished presentation. The critics were equally impressed and UT was awarded with Game of The Year honors by a variety of publications, including GameSpy.com and Computer Gaming World. UT was later ported to the PS2, Dreamcast, Linux, and Mac.
Years later, people are still making great modifications and add-ons for UT. One successful community spawned mod, Tactical Ops, was even recently released as an entire stand-alone commercial product.

Unreal Tournament is the original King of the Hill in the frag-or-be-fragged multiplayer gaming world. As the undisputed 1999 Game of the Year, Unreal Tournament grabbed the first person shooter genre by the soiled seat of its pants and knocked it around the room with its never-before-seen graphics, brutal edge-of-your-seat gameplay and a massive and varied feature list that gave gamers more than they ever expected.
Unreal Tournament's got it all: a ton of astonishing combat arenas located in environments beyond imagination, from lush alien planets to deep space bases to modern military installations and more; a bone-shuddering arsenal of gib-inducing weaponry, including rocket launchers, pistols and bizarre alien designed armaments; brain-melting modes of play for individuals and teams; unbelievably deadly computer controlled Bots; and a slew of other features that made Unreal Tournament one of the best selling and most loved games of 1999, launching a legendary multiplayer franchise and community that both still thrive today.
