Necrodome is a 1996 first-person vehicular combat game developed by Raven Software and published by Strategic Simulations. Set in a post-apocalyptic United States, players operate a weaponised vehicle known as a Raider to capture the flag in arenas. The game featured a hybrid combat system where players could drive a vehicle or operate its turrets, as well as engage in first-person combat on foot outside the vehicle. Upon release, Necrodome received a mixed reception; critics praised the integration of its hybrid combat into its multiplayer, which supported DirectPlay and Total Entertainment Network services, but disagreed on the execution of the gameplay and vehicle controls, the design of its levels, and the quality of its graphics. Necrodome was remastered and re-released by SNEG for GOG.com in 2023 alongside other titles from the publisher.
