RUBICON
The Scenario: 20 years into the future n 2011, a power plant
situated on Koala Island had a major disaster causing widespread
radiation activity. The radiation has spread over a 300 square
mile area. Unfortunately, because of the accident's swiftness
there was no time to evacuate the nucliar bases: hundreds of
deadly nuclear weapons were still lying in underground
stockpiles.
A few months later, reports started coming in about terrifying
animal mutations that were terrorizing the area. It was only a
matter of time before they would penetrate the underground
vaults and gain access to the nuclear stockpiles.
Armed with a powerful canon rifle, you have to blast your way
through the infected levels, killing everything in your path to
reach the weapons and disarm them.
You will see some of the largest sprites ever seen on an ST with
both vertical and horizontally scrolling landscapes. There is
also a puzzle element that increases in intensity throughout the
game, thus taking the emphasis away from basic shooting.
Filled with oodles of really evil creatures and a dramatic
scrolling landscape, Rubicon will certainly test your wits. Load
RUBICON.PRG and be totally trigger happy. This is only a one
level demo and certain things have been left out to fit the game
on the disk. The final version will have more gameplay in each
of the levels and sound effects are being totally re-written.
Pressing the space bar will change the weapon specification (top
left corner) allowing you to collect a new weapon. For example,
if you want to collect napalm, press the space bar until the
napalm icon appears and then collect the bonus pod when it
floats down the screen on a parachute. Try to make you way to
the end of the level, making good use of the 10 lives your
given.
