- ========================================
- A NEW APOGEE GAME RELEASE: "BIO MENACE"
- ========================================
-
- BIO MENACE(tm) Copyright 1993 Apogee Software
- (Portions Copyright 1993 Id Software and Jim Norwood)
-
- Created by Jim Norwood and a talented team game designers.
-
- BIO MENACE has taken nearly two years to develop, and it shows!
- Using advanced screen scrolling technology, similar to Apogee's
- Commander Keen: Goodbye, Galaxy! and Monster Bash! games, Bio
- Menace is another example of cutting edge game design.
-
- The Story: You're Snake Logan, a top-secret operative for the CIA
- trained to complete missions that others would consider suicidal.
- So it doesn't surprise you when you're called into headquarters to
- be briefed on an elevating situation in Metro City.
-
- Thousands of monster-like creatures are tearing through the Metro
- City leaving a wake of destruction. Communication with the city
- has been lost, and the city has been placed under martial law.
-
- CIA believes Dr. Mangle, once the lead researcher for the
- experimental Operation Bug Glow, is behind the rampage. Before he
- mysteriously vanished, Dr. Mangle's Operation Bug Glow was designed
- to genetically mutate ordinary insects into intelligent, large
- predators, useful for military warfare.
-
- It seems the Doctor succeeded!
-
- As Snake, you must infiltrate Metro City and somehow mangle the
- Doctor's crazed plan, and regain control of the city.
-
- Bio Menace is similar in many ways to Apogee's Duke Nukum super hit
- game, with non-stop action, incredible graphics, puzzling levels,
- and plenty of destruction. Cool theme music (Ad Lib or Sound
- Blaster compatible) plays on every level.
-

- * Over 6 Megs of compressed EGA/VGA graphics.
- * Full AdLib sound track and sound effects.
- * Over twenty animated mutated creatures and enemies.
- * Many different weapons available to use, including grenades.
- * Huge, puzzling levels.
