G-Nome is a mech simulation video game developed by 7th Level. The game was released on February 28, 1997, as 7th Level's first 3D game, originally intended to be released as a DOS-based title. G-Nome was followed up by a real-time strategy spin-off called Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3, developed by 7th Level, but acquired and released by Ion Storm. The entirety of G-Nome's gameplay is based around close-surface combat, by the means of direct foot movement or the occupancy of vehicles. The majority of the vehicles are bipedal assault machines called "HAWCs", , that usually carry between two to... four weapon mounts, which vary between laser pulse weapons, machines guns and missiles. Aside from the HAWCs, each of the races in the game maintain hovercrafts and armored support vehicles, for strategic insurance and variability. Larger vehicles are capable of carrying passengers, although the well-being of the pilot and the vehicle's maintenance greatly affects the longevity in which the passengers may occupy the vehicle.
