Chasm: The Rift, also known as Chasm: The Dark Rift, Chasm: The Shadow Zone, or The Chasm, is Action Forms first title, released a full year before their well known Carnivores series debuted. It was published in 1997 by GT Interactive Software, WizardWorks Software, and Megamedia Corp.

The player controls a marine whose goal is to stop the Timestrikers from invading planet Earth, traveling through many different environments. Despite using 3D models, Chasm was not a true 3D engine, leading to it often being considered a "poor man's Quake". Despite this, the game managed to host several innovative features, the most notable of which being the player's ability to remove individual limbs from enemies.
