The Space Bar

The Space Bar is the hilariously funny game that is poised to set a new standard for graphic adventures. It comes from a collaboration of the zany imagination of Steve Meretzky, and the visionary genius of Ron Cobb.

In The Space Bar, you’ll play Alias Node, a cop on a hardscrabble mining planet, Armpit VI. You are sent to The Thirsty Tentacle to track down a dangerous criminal who has made off with hot industrial secrets. Your mission: figure out which of the dozens of aliens in the bar is the thief, and arrest him/her/it before the next shuttle departure.

One of your police skills is an interrogation technique called Empathy Telepathy (or emp-tel) which allows you to relive a suspect’s memory. These emp-tel flashbacks allow you to become 8 different aliens, visit their home planets, and experience those worlds through the wildly different senses and abilities of the various races. Each flashback is a game-within-a-game, with a self-contained story and set of puzzles. In addition, winning each flashback gives you a vital clue to solve the mystery back in The Thirsty Tentacle.

Play as Alias Node, a human detectiveworking on planet Armpit VI. Your assignment? Catch a shifty criminalwanted for grand theft and murder before he escapes the planet.

Clues to the criminals whereabouts point to a seedy spaceport bar. No easy task - picking out a criminal from the motley assortment of aliens you find there. You have no idea who - or what - you're looking for but interviewing aliens is the only way to track the suspect. You'll want to stay well past "last call" in order to crack this comic case! * Three discs of hilarious gameplay

• Hundred of puzzles to solve.

• Smooth-motion 360 degree views of imaginative alien environments.
