Necrodome
by Raven Software Corp. and Strategic Simulations Inc.
Shareware Release 0.36
August 26, 1996
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
