'TOTAL DISTORTION' ADVENTURE GAME
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Gamers who thirst for fame and fortune - no matter what the risks might be - are about to be challenged by the ultimate adventure game, Total Distortion, the highly anticipated premiere CD-ROM title from Pop Rocket, Inc. Total Distortion combines the thrill of adventure gaming with the creativity of directing music videos. The player must pursue his or her new career as a music video director after teleporting to the dangerous and supernatural "Distortion Dimension". Stranded with limited funds, the player is on a mission to find rock star inhabitants, battle guitar warriors, create music videos and cut million dollar deals on-line with Earthling TV producers. Players either return to Earth as wealthy and famous directors or die a miserable death in the "Distortion Dimension". Filled with countless hours of entertainment, this rich adventure game is now available for Macintosh, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Total Distortion is expected to be one of the hottest CD-ROM releases of the holiday season.
Total Distortion is filled with high-energy original rock music, stunning video and interactive talking characters. The Total Distortion "video sequencer" allows players to create awesome music videos with more than 50 original songs and billions of music/video combinations.
"Total Distortion's fast-paced environment and challenging game play will appeal to adventure gamers of all ages, from computer novices to hard core gamers," said Joe Sparks, president and co-founder of Pop Rocket. "Lovers of rock music will be drawn to Total Distortion, and true adventure gamers will find an abundance of entertaining activities while being held captive within the σDistortion Dimension.'"
The gaming system within Total Distortion rewards courage, creativity and intellect with fame, fortune and survival. Gamers can customize the level of difficulty and danger for each playing experience. Through the fast-paced, 3-D world of Total Distortion, players are challenged by games of skill, mind-bending puzzles, hidden treasures, complex mazes and life-threatening obstacles.
