All I can think of is Descent.

I strongly suspect that’s the answer, but Descent is very different from the vague description KK gave. If the others are as far removed from their source material, I’m skeptical if we can figure the other ones out.

I might still have my “50 Top PC Games Ever Made” Shareware disc somewhere, although it’s unlikely as most of those games disappeared with Windows 3.1. I still have all of my ‘95 stuff for sure though.

I’ve go one to add though…

It was a FPS PC Game, based off of a modified Doom engine. It was dark, and one ran around shooting various mutants. I distinctly remember killing giant rats. I thought the name was “The Island of Dr. Moreau” but that’s the name of a clbumic book, I think the “Dr.” part is right, although it could be Professor, but the last name started with M for sure.

The CD case had a picture of a robot on it, and I think there was a brain in a jar on top of the robot.
