William Shatner's TekWar
DOSFirst-Person Shooter
William Shatner's TekWar is a science-fiction first-person shooter developed and published by Capstone Software for DOS in 1995. It adapts the TekWar setting, casting the player as private investigator Jake Cardigan in a futuristic investigation involving illegal tek, corporate interests, and dangerous criminals. Built with technology derived from the Build engine, the game combines armed combat with exploration through urban and industrial environments. Missions involve searching locations, fighting hostile forces, and collecting evidence or equipment. Contemporary reception was mixed, with criticism commonly directed at rough controls, inconsistent level design, and technical problems, although the setting and large environments attracted some interest from fans of the novels.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
