A DASH OF HISTORY, A SPLASH OF TESTOSTERONE, AND A TOUCH OF H.G. WELLS ON ACID.

Meet the Chaos Engine - a side of merry olde England you'd rather not know. But forget about tea and crumpets and all that jolly rotten stuff. 'Cause this arcade-action style CD-ROM game transforms your PC into a gruesome battlefield of psychotic monsters and ruthless warriors. We're talking armor-plated, razor-toothed killing machines here.

So pick one of six mercenary buddies, stock up on twenty-five deadly weapons and explore four fiendish worlds with 16 levels. But keep an eye peeled for mincemeat-making traps, life-saving power-ups and assorted keys. It's Britain's award-winning designers, the Bitmap Brothers, at their bloody best. God save the Queen? God save your ass.

"The best two player game on the PC... a strong contender for the best PC action game of all time." -PC Games
