Plot

On Halloween, Benjamin Richards is at his uncle's mansion to bear witness to his newest invention, the "Worm Hole Spawner." Upon activation, a wormhole brings an alien spaceship into Earth's solar system. The aliens kidnap Benjamin's uncle who the player must rescue in addition to stopping the alien threat.

Development

The game was initially developed by Bloodhouse (before the company merged with Terramarque to form Housemarque) and it was known during development as Leokadia. In January 1994 a six-person team had developed the game for nine months and it was due for release in Fall 1994 for PC and later for Amiga 1200. The game came out eventually in 1996 for PC and the Amiga 1200 version was cancelled.[1]

Reception

Pelit gave the game 90 out of 100.[2]

gollark: Iff it has one.
gollark: One of them is going to be an exit command, see.
gollark: Type in all possible vim commands in finite time using supertasks.
gollark: Idea: vim as Android launcher.
gollark: I don't really agree, as `with` just abstracts closing it for you.
