The C.H.A.O.S. Continuum. The C.H.A.O.S. Continuum is the first interactive CD-ROM adventure to incorporate movie quality animation and special effects created on Silicon Graphics workstations.
As the game opens, it’s the year 2577. Titan Colony (Titan being the largest moon of Saturn and of our solar system, and the only moon with an atmosphere) is being held captive by an orbiting sentient supercomputer known as C.H.A.O.S. The computer originally was developed to carry out numerous scientific and educational tasks, including dramatically boosting the brain power of the colonists. But now, something has gone wrong. C.H.A.O.S. has begun destroying the colony and has trapped its scientist creators in a parallel continuum. In order to escape that continuum and to try to free the colony on Titan from C.H.A.O.S., the scientists make contact with computer operators (game players) in the 20th Century.
The C.H.A.O.S. Continuum is available from Creative Multimedia and carries a list price of $79.99. Creative Multimedia, 503/241-4351.
