Abuse

Abuse is a run and gun platform game developed by Crack dot Com and published by Origin Systems in 1996. It was originally developed for DOS, and then ported to Linux. An improved port of the game was released for Mac OS by Bungie Studios and for the Acorn Archimedes by R-Comp Interactive. In 2009 it was ported to AmigaOS 4 as well. Furthermore, the game has been ported to the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. The game's source code has been in the public domain since the late 1990s, along with some of the Shareware content.

The storyline of Abuse takes place in the year 2009. The protagonist of the game, Nick Vrenna, has been unjustly incarcerated in a prison where the staff are performing unethical medical experiments upon the inmates. A prison riot occurs and an experiment goes horribly wrong. The people inside the prison - except for Nick, who seems to be immune - get infected with a substance called Abuse that transforms them into monsters. Nick takes a laser gun and goes on to single-handedly destroy all mutants, stop the substance from spreading further, and escape from the prison complex.
