MADISON, AL - June 4, 1997 - Ground Zero Software, Inc. todayannounced a major new upgrade to Bedlam, their shareware game ofthree years ago. Bedlam 2, with a totally new look and many cool newfeatures, offers the Macintosh and MacOS compatible community fastand furious blasting action and fun.
Mankind has been virtually wiped out by an extraterrestrialarmada! The shoot'em up game play puts you in the seat of the XJ-777,code-named "Annihilator". Only you can help save the solar systemfrom ruthless alien domination. Bedlam 2 is a fast action,arcade-style game with forty-five levels of blistering game play. Asyou blast away at the invading forces, your ship moves along thebottom of the screen trying to avoid a barrage of enemy firepower,collisions with attacking ships and the occasional chunk of floatingspace debris. By racking up points along the way, you earnmuch-needed extra ships, and can even capture hunks of gold barsreleased when you've demolished the ships of some of the greedytrespassers. Other fun and nasty surprises materialize during yourlong mission to free our galaxy from this evil infestation.
Your first encounter with the alien aggressors begins near theouter-reaches of the solar system at the ninth planet, Pluto. Ifsuccessful, you move inward to Neptune and each planet thereafter,until you've kicked all alien butt completely out of our galaxy! Someof the cool sound effects in the game help you keep track of yourweapon status and any helpful or dangerous objects that approach yourterritory. These include special weapon 'containers' that areperiodically released for you to try and shoot open to free andcapture the extra-powerful ammo you need to pulverize your attackers.There is detailed and interesting information about each planet asyou arrive at its defense, which helps illuminate our section of theuniverse for those who have a hard time keeping track of just howmany planets are orbiting the sun. :-)
Bedlam 2 utilizes the latest Quicktime technology for it's musictracks, contains tons of "stereo" sound effects, and has several full256 color 3D rendered images. The many exciting and nerve-wrackingfeatures will challenge your senses and give your mouse finger aworkout. As you progress beyond each level, obliterating the swarm ofadversaries becomes suceedingly more difficult. The aliens aresupplied with additional hazardous and unpredictable weaponry at eachplanet as you advance toward Mercury. Asteroids, score multipliers,and other exciting objects sometimes appear to help or hinder you onyour quest. Each planet concludes with a battle to the death againstthe seemingly invincible alien mothership. Do you have what it takesto save humanity? Let's hope you do.
