Outnumbered and outgunned, you will battle law enforcement bots on crowded Indian streets, teleport into the science station, infiltrate the compute center, upload a virus into OJI's central-computing-cortex and shut down the OJI intelligence-industrial complex.
Only then will the fate of humanity be known.

coda (2000)
Platforms - MS-DOS
coda is a Rubik's cube simulation developed for MS-DOS.
The game features a 3D cube, complete with per-pixel lighting and shading, that you can rotate in multiple axes and solve the cube. And if you get stuck, the computer could even show you how to solve it. Heck, it even lets you arrange the colors on the cube. So if you've already got a real Rubik’s cube and no clue how to solve it, then...well you could arrange the color patterns accordingly in-game and let coda show you how.
