- WELCOME TO NECRODOME!
-
- Necrodome is a gritty, fast paced, car-combat game taking
- place in enclosed arenas called Pits. The setting is the near future,
- in a post-apocalyptic society starved for violent entertainment.
- The world is now divided into almost feudal-like city-states, each
- having its own "Pit," based on the surrounding terrain and the
- materials they have on hand. Pits have been built on snow fields,
- deserts, and lava flats, to name a few.
- The Driver will be provided with a vehicle suitable for the task
- at hand...a fast, armored car (called a Raider) loaded with the latest
- weapons and electronic systems. A Raider is equipped with a main gun
- and a turret weapon (which may be fired simultaneously) along with having
- the ability to drop mines, emit smoke screens, and the like. In
- addition, the Driver may leap out of his car (equipped with a shotgun)
- and enter areas too small for his vehicle, flip switches, grab items and
- ammo, or run to safe areas to obtain a new car if his old one is
- destroyed.
- Necrodome is a Win95 application and will support single or
- duo-network play, with a player able to be either a driver or the
- gunner of a car driven by another player. This in effect allows a
- player to hop into the car of another driver and become his turret
- gunner.
- The full version of Necrodome will be coming your way October,
- 1996, for $39.95 and includes 30 levels along with features and weaponry
- not available in the shareware version. For ordering information, contact
