Description

2029, and the evil Blubbermen have invaded earth. Only heroic Lane Mastodan can stop them, in a setting resembling science-fiction of the 1950s.

Lane Mastodon vs. the Blubbermen was one of the first interactive comic books (along with Gamma Force and ZorkQuest.)

The unique element of this software was you could "follow" the narrative from a single character's point of view, or "jump" to another character's. Thus, you could re-read the story to learn new things about how the character's different paths affected each other and the outcome of the story.

The display technology used a 3D vector format; Many scenes scaled (like zooming on a camera lens), although this sacrificed detailed graphical textures and colors.
