Chasm: The Rift
Online version of Chasm: The Rift for PC DOS. Chasm: The Rift is a first-person shooter by the Ukrainian studio Action Forms, released in October 1997 for PC DOS and distributed under the Megamedia, GT Interactive and WizardWorks labels. The player is a soldier hunting the Timestrikers, mutants who tear holes in time and invade the present day, ancient Egypt and the Viking middle ages. The engine still could not place one room above another, but it replaced sprites with full 3D models and let the player shoot an arm or a head off an enemy, something no other shooter did in 1997. Each episode ends with a boss that cannot be killed by firepower and has to be worked out instead. In 2022 the game was rebuilt from scratch by General Arcade because the original source code was lost, and a year later it reached consoles.

IBM PC with MS-DOS
Online emulated version of Chasm: The Rift was originally developed for the IBM PC and compatible computers,
with MS DOS - Microsoft Disk Operating System. It is an OS for x86-based personal computers mostly developed by Microsoft and released in 1981 as PC DOS 1.0.
MS-DOS was targeted at Intel 8086 processors running on computer hardware using floppy disks to store and access not only the operating system, but application software and user data as well.
Progressive version releases delivered support for other mass storage media in ever greater sizes and formats, along with added feature support for newer processors
and rapidly evolving computer architectures. Ultimately, it was the key product in Microsoft's development from a programming language company to a diverse software
development firm, providing the company with essential revenue and marketing resources. It was also the underlying basic operating system on which early versions of Windows ran as a GUI.
