Atlantis: The Last Resort

About

Atlantis: The Last Resort is a 1997 shooter that casts you as a recently paroled criminal with a high-stakes mission. Your task shut down a reactor buried deep within a tropical resort while armed with everything from pistols to rocket launchers. The game unfolds across 20 levels of straightforward action mixing platforming jumps and third-person shooting. You'll navigate crumbling buildings and underwater tunnels while fending off waves of enemies in a race against time. The game's biggest hook is its absurd premise a parole officer bargaining for your help wrapped in 90s CD-i tech that feels unusually ahead of its platform's curve. While the graphics and mechanics are rudimentary by modern standards its no-frills approach to blasting through hordes of foes earned it a cult following among retro shooter fans. Community archives note its surprisingly varied level design and the sheer commitment to letting players wield a rocket launcher in a resort pool.
