Boasting some impressive ragdoll physics (for it's time anyway), and an awesome hook in the form of "PSI Powers" - abilities which allow you to do everything from levitating enemies and objects, to setting dudes on fire - Psi Ops places you in the role of Nick Scryer, an amnesiac who is forced to infiltrate and destroy a terrorist organization. With the implementation of Nick's various powers and abilities making up the bulk of the action, Psi Ops deftly sidestepped the monotony of traditional shooter-based conventions, instead opting to apply Nick's powers in a variety of intense, one-of-a-kind combat sequences and puzzle segments. And when you've got everything from mind control to astral projection to play with, you can imagine the kind of stuff Midway cooked up. The Mindgate Conspiracy was released to generally favorable reviews, but despite that it's been largely forgotten over time. Which is a shame to say the least, because there really hasn't been anything else like it since.
