Play Magazine (May, 1997)

After the resounding success of Excalibur 2555AD on the PlayStation, PC owners will now get the chance to see why Edge magazine proclaimed that it '...could well do for 3D action adventures what Tomb Raider did for 3D platformers'.

The legendary sword of Excalibur has been stolen by raiders from the future. Only one person has the power to avert the catastrophic chain of events that will occur of the sword is not retrieved - that person is you.

Take on the role of Merlin's humble apprentice as he sends you into the future equipped only with a trusty broadsword and limited spellcasting ability. Will you fight your way through the multiple levels of the city of Salto, or choose to be more cautious and attempt to talk your way out of any tricky situations you find yourself in? Communicating with the local inhabitants may prove useful in some situations as information has a price far lower than you might think.

With a 3D engine that makes use of the new breed of 3D accelerator cards and a fully light-sourced gaming environment Excalibur 2555AD immerses the player into the world of Salto completely.

Running in 16-bit colour, Beth and the locals take on a chilling realism that, coupled with the superb light-sourcing, helps to provide an atmosphere that is quite unlike any other game in this genre. Combining the best elements of RPG's and the urgency of classic arcade adventures, Excalibur 2555AD launches onto the PC in October.

• Over 300 locations, complete with over 50 different characters
• Realistic lighting effects give an un-matched feeling of 'being there'
• Optimized to make use of the new breed of 3D accelerator cards, including the 3DFX and Voodoo chipsets
• Full speech throughout the game
• Hand to hand combat, armed combat and spell casting all feature heavily in the game
• Intriguing puzzles that will test your brain power as well as your sword arm
