Weapons and Enemies

Knife - A standard, run of the mill, stainless steel blade. Great for cutting food and whittling chess sets, but lousy for dealing with hordes of angry monsters and zombie soldiers. Still, it's better than nothing if you run out of bullets.

Shotgun - You begin the adventure packing this baby. It's shots do a good deal of damage, but the rate of fire will begin to become inadaquete as you are assaulted by hordes of angry enemies. It's useful even when you have better weapons, though, because it uses ammo more slowly.

Twin Pistols - The fun begins when you get your gloves on these semi-automatic twin pistols. Their shots aren't as powerful as the shotgun, but you won't have time to notice when your enemies start dropping like flies. Keep an eye on your ammo, though. It's easy to use up fast.

Assault Cannon - This is the 2000's, and carrying a chaingun around is just so overdone. This weapon behaves similiarly, though. It chews up enemies rather quickly, but it will do the same to your ammo supply too, so keep an eye on your bullet count. Some enemies use this against you.

Doberman (not pictured) - When the forces of earth began to fall to "IT", humans weren't the only victims. Tapping into the primal power of these dangerous dogs, "IT" manipulates them to use their vicious nature to slow you down or even kill you. Most dangerous in large numbers.

Soldier Zombie - When earth's special forces went to war against "IT", a lot of good men fell. That would have been bad enough by itself, but when "IT" took control of the bodies and brought them back to life for his own army, things just got worse. A couple shots will end their misery.

Elite Zombie - Similar to the soldier zombie, but these guys were a lot tougher when they were alive, and this remains true of their living corpses. They also carry shotguns that can pack a mean blast, so whatever you do, take these guys seriously. You gain the twin pistols from them.

Sludge Lord - These strange beings come from the dimension of "IT". Their bodies are composed of mud-like sludge, and they are fairly durable. They can attack from long range with their fungal spore attack. You can't see it coming, so when they raise their hands, move!

Violator - These creatures are the primary servants of "IT". Their sole purpose appears to be attacking and destroying all living creatures, allowing them to join the undead army of "IT". They are pretty fast, and belch fiery breath at you from a distance. Don't stay in one place too long.

Cyber Hulk (Mini Boss) - These bio-organic other dimensional creatures are durable and ill tempered. They can be found guarding key areas of the "IT" occupation, and won't give up their posts without a good fight. They carry access keys, so keep this in mind if you find a locked door and can't seem to find a key lying around. If you don't have to, though, avoid fighting these brutes. They attack with a Assault Cannon, but you can't take it from them when they die.

Commando (mini boss) - These "non-zombie" soldiers are the personal body guards for Dr. Chaoss. Since the doctor is exempt from the influence of "IT", his bodyguards are as well, so don't expect any brain dead zombies here! They carry missile launchers and chainguns, which they use quite effectively, and also boast armored vests, making them difficult to take down. You'll get a key when you defeat them, which may or may not always be useful to you.

Remnant (boss) - This skinny freak may look like an old, overly rotten corpse, but that actually works to his advantage, since it's hard to kill something that's already this dead. It has one mission alone, and that's to attack it's foes until either it or they are destroyed. It wears some pretty hefty armor, and has twin missile launchers on it's shoulders, so don't mess around. Luckily for you, this "model" of enemy was never mass produced by "IT", so one is all you'll find.

Dr. Chaoss - It takes a real psycho to sell out not only his country, but the entire human race as we know it! It was Dr. Chaoss who openned the portal that allowed "IT" into our dimension, and he hopes to one day be the most powerful (possibly only) human on the planet. He's completely insane, the result of too many lab accidents. He carries a razor so he can have some fun when he kills you, and he's not afraid to use the chaingun he carries either, so don't bother reasoning with him. The only language he'll respond to is the whizzing sound of bullets being swapped!

"IT" - Oh, the horror! It came from another dimension through a portal openned by Dr. Chaos, and has since taken over civilization as we know it. The most intelligent being in the galaxy, "IT" can crush it's enemies with a mere thought. With the armies of mankind killed and turned into zombies the world teeters on the brink of being totally enslaved by it. Only a last valiant effort by John J. Schwarz, the last remaining skilled soldier, can confound "IT"'s plans for domination, and free the innocent people of the world from "IT"'s sick, twisted mind control. Good luck!!
