Description

A rogue navy ship named Obrian poses a grave threat to humanity. A virus has wiped out its crew, but the threat of it using its Iron Helix doomsday weapon is still there. Using a robotic droid, you must explore the ship to work out how to shut these down.

The game uses interactive quarter-screen footage to display the ship's layout. From an action perspective, the main unusual challenge is that an automated security device is chasing you down, and must be avoided and ultimately destroyed.

As you explore the ship, you will find data ports, which can be jacked into to gain information or to open doorways. To access most of these, you will need to find a DNA sample from a member of staff whose role gave him/her access.

Trivia

Iron Helix had one of the slowest install procedures known to the modern world. It took well over an hour to install the game, for no apparent reason except that the decompression library was not optimized at all. The machine in question was a 486/66 running Windows 3.1 with a double-speed (2X) CDROM drive and 32MB RAM -- well beyond the minimum requirements of the game.

To be fair, the game ran perfectly after it was installed.
