Welcome to the Dark Rift demo.

The full version of Dark Rift, a fully 3 dimensional weapon-based fighting game,
boasts 8 playable characters and two boss.  Character attributes include as many
as 10 hits in a combo series, exploding projectile attacks, grabs and special 
moves, special grab and projectile moves off of combos, and get up combos.

Of the N64 version of Dark Rift, EGM says, "Dark Rift looks good- real good, and 
the animation is some of the best around next to VF3...".  And Ultra Game Players 
says, "...manages to claim the title of best fighting game for the N64...".

In this special demo package only two characters are playable, Gore and Aaron. 
We hope you enjoy it and look for the full PC version of this exciting brawler
