In Pursuit of Greed

In Pursuit of Greed (also known as Assassinators) is a science fiction-themed first-person shooter (FPS) video game released in 1995 for DOS, developed by Mind Shear Software and published by Softdisk.

[2] After Mind Shear Software's release of Ironseed in 1994, Softdisk Publishing reached out to them with the suggestion that they take advantage of the pre-alpha Doom code that Softdisk had access to in order to create a shooter, in the hopes of capitalizing on the popularity of Doom.

Problems with lag, jerky animation, and slow rendering plagued the project right up until a significantly delayed release.

[4][5][6] However, some game aspects like curved surfaces, the "rear mirror" mechanic, and the colorful protagonists were positively mentioned.

The game was not a commercial success due to the technical problems with the unfinished engine and the competing high-profile title Duke Nukem 3D, released shortly after Greed, which led to a cool reception from the press and the public alike.
