Description
THE ULTIMATE GAME OF SURVIVAL...

The hull of your crippled vessel has ruptured, air is leaking into space, and weapons systems are down. Your mission could have ended fifteen years of interstellar war, but now - as the only remaining crewman - your first order of business is to stay alive...

This thrilling adventure will take you from the bridge of the battlecruiser USS Lexington to the surface of the stark and deadly planet Persephone. In an alien landscape of endless rock spires under skies of crackling electrical storms you open a crystalline portal to another time and are faced with a terrible choice and the ultimate question:
What does it mean to be human?

  • NONSTOP ACTION- Salvage a crippled starship, survive a vicious battle in deep space, explore a vast alien installation, align a wormhole across four dimensions and decide the fate of mankind.

  • TOTAL IMMERSION - Full motion video integrated into a 3D animated world. Layered sound effects and a thrilling musical score take you on a gripping odyssey in deep space.

  • A DAZZLING VIRTUAL WORLD - exploration, character interaction and space combat in VGA. Explore a nine-level twenty-second-century battlecruiser and an alien world in seamless, smooth-scrolling 3D.

Mission Critical

I first played this around 1995 - 1996 and loved it immensely, its a tricky puzzler with multiple things trying to end your game at the beginning, persevere though and learn the ship, and you will triumph..maybe

For nostalgia purposes only

I was pulled in by the glowing reviews. I like slow moving, atmospheric adventure games very much, but the FMV is inferior to the most basic of graphics in a modern games and also makes movement slow, limited and clunky. Don't get me wrong, I like retro games but this one has aged very badly, IMO. I completed the first deck and explored a couple of others but just realised it is too slow with too little atmosphere for me to get any enjoyment out of. Be prepared to do a lot of reading and clicking on items that are useless. Obviously the game has some merit given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, however I think you have to have a lot of nostalgia for this specific genre or publisher to get much out of it.
