1) Introduction:
This is a futuristic action game with a strange story and weird gameplay, the
game is not really that fun, but I think I must write a FAQ for everyone who
has problems with this game.
This FAQ is also copyright of me, so you can't use this FAQ on your own website
ask my permission first by mailing me.
These are the sites allowed to use my FAQ:
*GameFaqs.com
*Neoseeker.com
*dlh.net
*Ign.com
and remember this:
"Science fiction is the search for a definition of man and his status in the
universe which will stand on our advanced but confused state of knowledge"
Brian Aldiss, "Billion year sphere", 1973
(I found that in the manual)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12/6/2003 : version 0.60 Added FAQ section.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Hardware:
The minimum PC configuration for is:
-Intel Celeron or better CPU
-OpenGL© compliant GPU (6th generation GPU recommended)
-128 Megabytes of RAM (or better)
-CD-ROM drive
-Microsoft© Windows© 98 or better with DirectX©7 or better
-Compatible soundcard (3D sound recommended)
(taken from the manual)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4)Story:
(taken from the manual)
In a Planet Earth where pollution and neglect created a hostile environment
where nobody wants to wander, people are reduced to stay connected all the
time, because all the social life has been transferred to the V-Space: the
total-feedback 3D network that envelopes everything. While machines take care
of the physical needs of the individuals, mankind forgets the existence of a
physical world. Unmotivated people spend most of the time playing network
games, while Artificial Intelligences of diverse structures are trying to
takeover mankind: computers continuously need the input of human beings to
develop their own programs, thus they don't want people to disconnect or to do
anything else than being connected. But there are individuals who have the
feeling that they're being manipulated: some of them are strong enough to
decide to break through the barriers of conventional networks, to destroy the
Artificial Intelligences who control their lives. The electronic protections
of these programs are represented, in the V-Space, by creatures that these
humans must fight. Doing this, they discover that some people are already
disconnected and living in the real world: they are hackers who need somebody
in the V-Space to break the protections of the AI's, so to free mankind. As a
counterpart, the hackers can provide support for the humans. You will be the
V-Space operator who must destroy the protection of enemy AI's providing
support for the hackers, so they can analyze the code and push you farther
and farther. With your help, the hackers will become able to "code" new
weapons, shields and tools that you can use to defeat other enemies. In fact,
hackers are also a valuable source of information: pay attention to their
messages.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Characters:
Sidd Roxe (playable):
Sidd is a flatlined; he can exist only in the V-Space. He's no longer alive,
at least not as a physiological being. Ironically, although there's no
physical V-Space anywhere, the feedback makes it somehow tangible for the
people who interact in it. Sidd longs for the revenge of his right to live
and die as a natural being, thus bringing back the roots of life to Mankind.
Eva Tharr (playable):
Student of logic and information technology, Eva came in touch with the
hackers while exploring the boundaries of the network. She longs for knowledge,
as a standard bearer for all the people who don't accept things as they are
offered on a silver plate, but try to go beyond, to the root of the Truth.
Doku (hacker/unplayable):
One of the very first rebels to unplug himself from the V-Space connection. A
deep knowledge of the coding techniques allows him to hack into enemy software,
thus being able to rip weapons and create bonuses for the player. He will
also directly interact with the action in a couple of situation. Doku will
contact the player at the very beginning of the game, to explain the situation:
who are the enemies, what lies beneath V-Space and why joining the rebellion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Weapons/items/ZNRG:
-Main weapon:
Fires a single shot of blue laser bullets at your opponent. You can use unlimited
bullets until your ZNRG is low, then recharge your ZNRG and you can fire again.
-Secondary main weapon:
Keep pressing the left mouse button and you will see a green shine in your hand
and then you will fire a stronger shot. Unlimited shots until your ZNRG is low.
-Rocket:
Found in the third level, when fighting the MK-11 boss. Hold left mouse button
and release to fire a strong red rocket. One shot per icon you take.
-Power-up: When you find this your power will raise by 1/3rd and your shooting
power will increase until you die. Maximum of 3 power-ups.
-Health pack: Restores your health a little. Very usefull (of course)
-ZNRG: This is used for giving your character the energy to shoot laser bullets
When you heve no ZNRG you can't shoot and you must find a ZNRG spot, it's a blue
bowl on the walls in the level, you just have to point at it, not shoot it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8) Walkthrough:
-Level 1: The real world:
"The dawn of a day in the city where life is frozen. The spark of rebellion
starts this juorney through the meanders of V-space."
I don't know why they call this level 1 because it's just an opening movie.
You see the city they where talking about and then you will see a big bug, the
camera will follow it into a building. In that building you will see your
character naked being reanimated inside a big tube with a liquid, now the bug
flies away and the second level will start...
-Level 2: The run:
"Welcome to droneZ. You will have to run if you want to survive to all the
bullets and tazers you'll meer here. Do you like to run? I hope you love running
as much as you love using your shield..."
Well, this is actually a sort of tutorial level where you learn all the basics.
The first room is full of things that shoot bullets at you. Just jump to the
platform in front of you and then to the platform on the left. Now the mozzles
will change direction and the bullets will change direction hitting the mozzles.
Just jump further until you reach the second platform, now you will see a health
pack, so take it and go to the third platform and you will fly to the next room.
In this room there are also bullets shooting at you, but no platforms to jump
on, so use your shield and wait for the platforms to come and jump on them.
There is a ZNRG spot at the end of the room. If you reach the fifth platform
you will be transported to the next room. Take the health pack there and go
through four tazers. So jump from platform to platform at the right time, when
the tazers stop, now you will fly to the next four tazers. Go thruogh them and
then there are three platforms with teleports, when the teleport quits on the
first platform, jump on it and keep jumping to the other platforms. Now you
will be brought to a room with 8 platforms and in the middle a mozzle that will
let the bullets come your way, just be fast and hope you will survive, that's
the only tactic in here. Now comes the last part, You stand on a platform and
You must wait for other platforms to come, but there are bullets shooting at
you, so you have 2 strategies here: Keep strafing on the platform avoiding the
bullets or use your shield (There is a ZNRG spot in front of you). Now a boss
will appear on the red platform!
***BOSS 1: BRONTO ***
You stand on the platform in front of him, just strafe from the left platform
to the right and keep shooting at him. He only uses some weak bullets. Point at
