Description:
This all-action arcade-style game combines ‘blast ’em up’ excitement with puzzle-solving elements against a unique background.  Based graphically on the designs of artist Rodney Matthews, Shadow Master takes place within seven distinctive worlds.  Your mission is to protect your planet from the dictatorship that is stripping the resources of all the planets in your system. Slowly you discover how the dictator has perverted all forms of life on the planets, turning them into mechanical monsters.

Believing attack to be the best form of defense, you are confronting the enemy in his own domain – on the planets he has already taken over.  As well as offering very different terrains and environments, each world presents different challenges in terms of the opponents you must defeat. And as you graduate through the worlds, these opponents become more gruesome. You must battle your way past spiders, tryphids, dragons… then confront and destroy the ‘evil one’ to save the universe.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES:

• 16 missions of heart-stopping action
• Advanced lighting effects
• Complex character AI routines
• Huge range of baddies to tackle
• Unique graphical style, based on the work of Rodney Matthews
• Gives you control of a highly-maneuverable battle craft
