Uncle Fred is a retired Private Investigator. You're his niece. You have just returned to Sydney, and discover a message on your answering machine. It's Uncle Fred, asking you to visit him as soon as possible!
But at Uncle Fred's house, you discover that he has been kidnapped, and that the police have already cordoned off the house. Talking to his next door neighbor, you discover this bad news and more.

Through the course of the game, you will travel to all of the most popular spots of the city of Sydney, including the harbour, the Opera House, the city and bushland. You will also visit the stately homes of various characters, a restaurant, and a corporate headquarters near to the harbour.

Ten different characters inhabit the various locations. You will talk to them in full-motion-video interactive conversations. These characters are all somehow connected to your uncle, and each of them helps to unravel the mystery.

You will control the progress of the game, it will be up to you to solve this mystery, by talking, exploring and using the items around you to solve the story's challenges.

This demo contains only Act One, and features only two characters and only a few locations, but it should give you a taste of what the full game will be.

Enjoy the game. I wrote it for my wife Sarah, and she's a huge fan of Megaball for the Amiga computers. DX-Ball is a game for everyone, so don't be afraid to show it to your family or friends. They will thank you for it. :)

You forge ahead through the thick, oppressive heat. Your erratic heartbeat and amplified breaths are all that escape the hostile stillness.

Sweat beads down your face as an all too familiar vibration breaks your concentration. You turn to face the threat while the rookie lays down a wild burst of gunfire into the trees up ahead. The jungle explodes into a fiery deathtrap with roars from automatic weapons interrupting the incoherent shouts from your men.

Spin, aim, shoot, duck, dodge, fire. Your actions form a dance as rapid explosions create a giant fireball of destruction. And then, as quickly as the chaos sprang to life, it departs, slipping away into the darkness. A downpour ensues, quelling the raging jungle, setting things right once again. But there's no time to rest. This is a war, and you've got a job to do.

Set during the Vietnam War, VIETCONG is a first person shooter with tactical elements. VIETCONG combines thrilling action with strategic thinking. The evolving storyline combined with the game's intense sound system, graphics and animation truly bring powerful jungle combat to life on your PC. Acting as an elite soldier, players of VIETCONG command the A-team, part of the U.S. Special Forces, in realistically represented Vietnamese environments. Players will lead as many as six expertly trained soldiers through 20 dramatic missions, and follow a storyline that captures the danger, fear and unpredictability of the war itself.

This is the single player demo version.
