About the game
Dating from 1998, Ares Rising for Win is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the leap into 3D.
The years around 1998 belonged to the leap into 3D, when polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. VG90 groups titles like this one by era and platform so those connections are easy to trace.

Why it matters
The value of a record like this is context: the leap into 3D produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
Technical notes
Recorded platform(s): Win (1998). VG90 stores this as factual reference data; richer media may be added over time as legally sourced material becomes available.
