oOo Release Notes oOo

Y2K...Time is running out. What will you do?

You've seen the house of the future, right?
You've dreamed about all the luxury and convenience it offers, right?
You just assumed all the technology was Y2K compliant, right?
You just think Y2K thing is just a big bunch of hype, right?

Well, you're WRONG. Dead Wrong.

Help our hero, Buster Everman and his girlfriend escape from a twentieth
century high-tech mansion that goes berserk at midnight on New Year's Eve
1999.

As the Y2K Disaster strikes Buster's mansion, the computer controlling
the house starts to take over. Even the high-tech user-friendly household
appliances turn against them.

Maintain escape routes by solving puzzles in each room of the mansion and
learn quickly that things are not as they seem.

Features:

* Room upon room of quests, puzzles, traps and challenges
* Frighteningly detailed 3D enviroment with interactive objects, streaming
videos and animations
* Over 20 beautifully detailed areas to explore
* Highly intuitive interface and inventory system; just point and click
* and much more...

Ripped:

INTRO/OUTRO & MUSIC. We have also removed the MAIN CHARACTER ANIMS. As a
result, u won't see the main character (Buster) in the game, but this
doesn't affect gameplay at all because the whole game is in 3D with a 3rd
person view (ala ALONE IN THE DARK). This was the only way to rip (not
rape) this game under a decent size, because the main character anims take
450 extra MB and basically all you will see is your character moving from
one location to another (he doesn't interact with objects, so you aren't
missing anything). Everything else, including FULL SFX and SPEECH is
included in our rip. MUSIC ADDON will be released soon.

Enjoy this great release and expect much more from WARRIOR soon...

oOo Hints oOo

Here are a few hints to help u getting started. Be sure to check the file
README.TXT to learn the game controls and function keys.

The adventure begins on New Year's eve. Buster falls asleep before
midnight and wakes up in the Bedroom. The computer complains about the AI
program being corrupted; it needs to be patched. Pan the cursor around the
room and walk to the fireplace. Pick up the PDA on the mantel. Walk to the
closet to the left of the fireplace. Use the Hand Scanner. Open the
Wardrobe. Click on the Clothes and Get dressed. Candice warns of
anomalies in the Hall of Antiquities.
Next scene finds you in the Hall of Antiquities. Pick Up a Cannon ball.
Walk to and click for closeup of A Portrait Interface. Examine the
Portrait Interface. Click on "Maintenance Routines" and then "Reset" to
terminate intruder alert and diagnostics.
Enter the Contemplation Room (left of the Portrait Interface). Click on
the robot vacuum cleaner and Take Key. Examine the Candelabra, then click
again and Use it to open a secret panel revealing a Safe. Walk to and
Examine the Safe to find it has an optical unlocking mechanism. Exit back
to the Hall of Antiquities.
Enter the First Floor Corridor. Walk to and Pick up the Paper note taped
to the wall beside the window. Walk to and Pick up the Vase from the table
in the hall. Open the door at the end of the hall and enter the Viewing
Gallery.
In the Viewing Gallery, go into your inventory and scroll to a Key and
note it says "Rate, Date." In the Viewing Gallery, Use the Book of naval
history on the pedestal. Note the bottom paragraph talks about a "5th rate
frigate named Resistance sunk in 1798." (Rate: 5; Date: 1798)
Go back to the Hall of Antiquities and once again click for a closeup of
the Portrait interface. Note the Portrait interface keypad. Click on the
numbers given for rate/date and then the "elbow" enter key on the right of
the keypad (specifically, 51798). Buster comments that he's fixed it "just
in time". The Elevator now works :)

That's it...u're on your own now !

oOo Group News oOo

Eh wait a second? WARRIOR? Is this the same group that used to release
games and addons 2 or 3 years ago? I thought they were dead?
Well, right...at least, more or less. Let's just say we were still there
but had no more time and/or opportunities to release stuff. But here we
are again and we're here to last :)

So here we are again in 2000 with one goal in mind : bring u all the
games that weren't ripped for several reasons (mainly because of the size
limit) or were raped and unplayable...and even some that no one seems to
have anymore.

We hope u will enjoy our games...remember, warez means fun :)

Special Note to Kaiser : Happy bday, dude :)
