SPACE STATION

OBLIVION

You're the only soul in a twilight zone that's like nowhere you've ever been before. It's a space station in the middle of nowhere ... an eerie world full of deadly surprises ... a time bomb of explosive vapors. And your mission is to find out what makes it tick and avert impending disaster before it's too late.

If you succeed, you'll be an interplanetary hero.

All you've got to do is drill and release the volatile vapors brewing beneath the surface. Sound easy? Not exactly. Because first, you've got to figure out where to drill ...

Use your wits in a world like nothing you've ever imagined.

There are 18 different sectors to explore and drill in, each with its own unique geography—and rules. Walls might disappear, or blocks turn into doors.

You might transform a column into an elevator. Or create a bridge out of a monolithic tower. If you're clever, you'll discover secret rooms that you can enter once you deactivate the power lines that loom above you ... and hidden walkways that can take you to whole new worlds ...

Rove across the lifeless space station in your land vehicle ... Or soar above it all in a plane—if you can only find it. There's even a teleporter you can assemble to zap you across the vast spacescape.

Revolutionary 3-D scaling and perspectives that change smoothly as you move around will give you the uncanny feeling that "you are there."

You'll be uncovering the secrets of a complex world where nothing is quite what it seems. And you'll need all the ingenuity you can muster to triumph.

(captions)

Drop in on outer space and discover an eerie moonspace of strange pyramids and canyons.

Doesn't look inviting, does it?

You can soar above each sector—if you can just crack the code to locate the plane.
