Abuse is a side-scrolling action game with a unique control system.
You move the player with the arrow keys, while you aim his gun with the mouse. In the original shareware version, released in 1995, there were four levels, and a highly flexible level editor. The registered version, available for DOS, came with IPX support and lots of new items and fun stuff. Abuse was programmed by Jonathan Clark and start-up developer Crack Dot Com . The retail version was published by Origin and Electronic Arts, and can be found today in a number of action-game compilations.
