The only reason I know Bethesda is because I played "Terminator: Future Shock" back in the 90's.

It was a pretty fun game, although all I had was the demo.

I didn't know Bethesda was still around.

Future Shock was a great game, one of my all time favorite the first full 3D FPS with vehicle combat and with awesome multi-player support. Too bad it was very under-appreicated.

Bethesda made a lot of RPG games: Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, etc.

I played a ton of id games in the 90s. Only played one Behesda game, Morrowind, and didn't care for it. They must have gotten one hell of a payday.

Wayne Gretzky Hockey is the only good game that Bethesda ever made. Man, that game was sweet.

They're open-ended RPG's, best in the genre in my opinion and many in the gaming industry
