Antibody 1.0 ©1997 Slimyfrog Software Written by Marco Carra Description Charlie was laying motionless on the bed. His large eyes seemed glazed over and almost opaque. At first the group thought this was a natural and temporary setback to Charlie's long and slow recovery. The tests indicated otherwise. Someone had injected several viral strands into Charlie's already weak body. There were no signs of a forceful break-in. You knew it had to be someone that had access to the research labs on this level. One of your collegues. You considered the possibilities and one person stood out: Robert Spencer. You remembered how strangely he had been acting lately. He was subtle at first, but his urgency had eventually also lead to carelessness. At staff meetings he seemed more and more set against the progress of the project. He would often react angrily when he learned that the project was gaining importance, even in the higher branches of command. When more funds were allocated to continue the research Robert had openly threatened to use his influence to have the decision repealed. His behaviour eventually lead to his being assigned to a new department. Could he have... Time was running short for Charlie. According to the tests he only had two or three days of life left. Your senses told you the situation was far worse. After countless arguments it was clear that nobody else was willing to risk their own life for the sake of Charlie and the project. You were alone. Fear, you kept thinking, was a purely natural response to the idea of being shrunk to the size of a single cell and injected inside an alien host. But it was too late too back out now. The ES-21 was ready... Everything was ready. General At the beginning of each game, and every 5 levels thereafter, you will be able to pick the scenario in which you would like to play. Kill the viruses as quickly as possible but do not kill red blood cells. When you kill a red blood cell, points will be deducted from the bonus points at the end of each level. Scoring varies with the difficulty level you chose and your current level number. Pick up bonus tokens by passing over them. Every 10,000, 20,000 or 30,000 points, depending on the difficulty setting, an extralife bonus token will appear.
