  • The Sentinel (в США была издана как The Sentry) — компьютерная игра, созданная Джеффом Крэммондом, изданная компанией Firebird Software в 1986 году для Commodore 64 и портированная на BBC Micro (самим Крэммондом), Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum (Майком Фолином), Atari ST, Amiga (оба Стивом Баком) и PC (Майком Роллом). The Sentinel является одной из первых игр, которые выполнены в полном 3D для домашних компьютеров. The Sentinel лучше всего описать как «игру управления энергией». Игра обладает видом от первого лица и несколькими тысячами уровней. (ru)
