Страница: 8 / 89

Under the ocean lies the remains of a vast
interstellar colonization ship; 400 billion tons
of metal that plummeted to the Earth some 65
million years ago. Now, the waiting is at an
end, the powerful computers begin to stir, the
ancient technology readies itself for the
coming storm. When the alien base on Mars
shuddered in its death throes, a powerful
Tachyon beam darted out to a long dormant
receptor.
Thirty years ago, awakened by the cosmic
emissions of their brothers, the vast
chambers of innumerable species began their
re-animation cycle. X-COM must now face a
new terror, an army of aliens that is already
here, but in an environment more deadly than
deep space. The aliens of the depths are well
prepared to take on man in all the oceans,
even bringing the war onto the land.
X-COM: Terror From The Deep
lets you enter
into combat in a strange and alien world, use
new technology to enable the war to be taken
under the seas, arm your troops for an
encounter the likes of which man has only
dreamed of in his worst nightmares…
GAME OVERVIEW
A vast sleeping enemy has awakened. When
the colonization vessel crash landed on Earth
some 65 million years ago, the emergency
systems placed the aliens in suspended
animation. A distress call was sent, but was
never received by the aliens’ homeworld. Over
the eons the computers awakened small
groups of aliens to attempt colonization, but
the strategies and devices were imperfect. The
aliens have also sunken ships, destroyed
planes and devastated remote ports over the
centuries — to what end we know not.
Now, deep in the vast hulk of the mother ship
the battle computers have become fully on-
line. The systematic awakening of the aliens
and their technology has begun.
Across the globe are sites where age-old alien
advance assault squads have been attempting
to contact their distant brothers. The sites
contain powerful artifacts that they need to
conquer the planet and transform it into an
aquatic paradise for aliens.
X-COM: Terror From The Deep puts you in
command of X-COM. You control the force to
stop the alien terror. First, you’ll intercept the
alien subs and shoot them down. Then, you’ll
command a sub-aqua mission using the
‘Battlescape’ display. This view will display
only what your aquanauts can see, allowing
danger to creep up on the unsuspecting.
