When I first saw this game I was at Comdex in Vegas (before E3). My friend was in the Intel booth watching some promo film and when he came out I showed him all the junk I got from the different booths. He showed me his copy of O/S 2 Warp and a game called Under a Killing Moon. I looked at the back of the box and I had to have it. Keep in mind that all we had to play was Wolfenstein and DOOM. My friend told me they gave it away for FREE. So I got it home and it wouldn't run on my computer. The system requirements were to steep. I went over to another friends house that had the best computer I knew of with 4 mb of ram and a 100 mhz Intel. We plugged it in and were immediately drawn in by the story and dark humor. The game was incredible for it's time with full motion video in it with a 3-D environment. I had never in my life seen a game like it. I have yet to see a game that can match it. It has an 80's pop culture feel to it with a sci-fi spin. There are alot of colorful characters and mutants to talk to not to mention a case to solve, lots of fascinating puzzles and side interests. If you’re a fan of Fallout or Wasteland then this game is for you. Where as it's not a free to do what you want environment but the story is along the lines of being campy post nuclear. The controls are a little clunky where you have to press the spacebar to switch to the walk mode and press it again to switch back to the rendered environment. That's the only downside that comes to mind. It is a SOLID GAME, back when they still knew how to make them. It even has an in game hint system if you get stuck. I'm sure Sierra would of killed to have this game as part of their catalog of adventure games. Bottom line if you love adventure games and have a place in your heart for a good mystery BUY THIS GAME.
