I got that game 1 month ago (from creative computers if you wanna know). On booting up, there is a VERY nice animated sequence (one of the best from psygnosis) . - a motionless hulk gets energized and springs up (like the ED 209 sequence in the Robocop movie), from afar comes a target, (monolith with the picture of a soldier on it). the target wooshes by. The machine locks on target, turn on its weapon, (twin rotating machine guns) as the target comes on, it fires. The target explodes in a gerb of fire. - fade out. Title of the game, and some musics .... I got the game just for the animation . <fire Button> , load (its on 2 disk ...) - you appear at the bootom of the screen, (looks like a duck with a shell -> the deadly guns). - you can walk/run on vertical as well as horizontal walls, jump, fire, there are extras to pick up (like keys to open locked doors, new weapons) -some of the weapons are CUTE !!!! . - how about time ? there is some deadly liquid that rises slowly to keep you on your feet. - So the game play is like a mix between Loderunner. (run left, grab key , open door, shoot everything that moves, grab round key , go back , etc...) (you'll never last long if you dont think a bit). Some animation is very cute, I love it . A bit small but nice. The action is Fast. !!!! (it aint not C program !!!) . (so you dont have to move your stick of joy for 10 minutes before the guy moves in the desired direction). - ... - then you die ... you can go on replaying the game at the last level (the game in demo mode even replays the way you played the last time before you died.) . - Hiscore shown ... - spoiler : press the <help> key to see the map of the whole maze with the exit shown Walter
