But your seemingly anonymous life among the │ │ ranks is about to take a sharp change of direction. You've been │ │ summoned to Calchona, the largest military complex ever built for a │ │ dog-and-pony showcasing of the LIV-6 SABER, the weapon designed to │ │ change the rules of war. The prototype's debut goes well; the brass is │ │ impressed and ready to put them on the front line when everything begins │ │ to go horribly wrong. │ │ Calchona's security is breached by "cyborganic" mutants. These bio- │ │ mechanical monstrosities come equipped with normal energy based weapons, │ │ but also with claw-like appendages that seem perfectly suited to ripping │ │ │ the flesh off a defenseless human. But where did they come from? How │ │ did they get into Calchona? Is this a new threat, or the design of a │ │ traitorous malcontent? Do you care as you sit in your pod prototype? │ │ You'd better, because you've just been given orders to get to the bottom │ │ of the mystery - and take out as many of those beasties as you can while │ │ you're at it. │ │ │ │ Features: │ │ ~~~~~~~~~ │ │ ~ Compelling story. Solve baffling puzzles to advance between levels. │ │ Smooth 3D combat with TruFlow technology. │ │ ~ 19 different horrific creatures attack you again and again from above, │ │ below and in your face! │ │ ~ Defeat the enemy using Defiance's exclusive LaserLok targeting │ │ systems. Lock onto the target, focus the twin laser beams, and blast │ │ 'em to smithereens. │ │ ~ Four levels of gun firepower: plasma bolts, autocannon, railgun, and │ │ spreadgun. Four types of missiles: dumb, high explosive, tracking │ │ and swarming missiles. │ │ ~ Four types of auxiliary weapons: bounce bombs, electro-shield, defense │ │ gunpods, and holographic decoys. │ │ ~ Death Match battle for up to 8 players over network or modem. │ │ │ │ Ripped: │ │ ~~~~~~~ │ │ Ummm...nothing. Its all there! =) │ │ │ │ Installation: │ │ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │ │ Unzip and run INSTALL.EXE to decompress. Once it is finished, run │ │ DEFIANCE.EXE for 2D gaming, or D3D.EXE for Direct 3D Enhanced gaming. │ │ Enjoy! │ │ │ ┌────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │■ GROUP NEWS ■│ │ ╞════════════════╛ │ │ │ │ The month of October marks the 1 year anniversary of PARADiGM!
