Unreal is a 1998 first-person shooter game developed by Epic MegaGames and Digital Extremes and published by GT Interactive for Microsoft Windows. It is the first entry in the Unreal game series. It was powered by Unreal Engine, an original game engine. The game reached sales of 1.5 million units by 2002.
Since the release of Unreal, the franchise has had many entries including one sequel and a second series with multiple commercially successful and award winning games based on the Unreal universe referred to as the Unreal Tournament series. One official bonus pack, the Epic-released Fusion Map Pack, can be downloaded free of charge. Unreal Mission Pack I: Return to Na Pali, developed by Legend Entertainment, was released in June 1999, and added 17 new missions to the single-player campaign of Unreal. Unreal and Return to Na Pali would later be bundled together with the updated version of the game's engine from Unreal Tournament and released as Unreal Gold.
