Atlantis: The Lost Tales

Description

The advanced city design of Atlantis shows that a fully-fledged society must've functioned there, and this adventure game brings it to life. Queen Rhea is the leader who is under threat, and young Seth is the character you control as he aims to save the day. How can he know who to trust, and who has their own agenda in this complex world?

The world of Atlantis is displayed in fully-rotational full-screen 3D comprising of millions of polygons and full lip-synching using a proprietary system. Listen out for sounds of danger - sometimes they are the first warning you get.

There are 5 different continents to explore, and each has its own cultures. In total there are 50 characters you will interact with, and puzzles using an inventory system. Save points are limited by the game.

Trivia

The game has been released for several platforms, which include a 4-cd PC-Version, a DVD Pc-Version, a MAC Version and a PSX version.

Atlantis has great 640x480 graphics in first person, where you can look around in full 3d at a location, but moving to the next location the screen will center and an pre-animated sequence will follow. This technique Cryo called "Omni-3D", and they were very proud of it, though it all ended up a little bit slow.
