This is what I was missing! A shooter with an endoscopic backdrop!
They’ve put you in a vessel, shrunk you down and injected you into someone’s artery to shoot their blood cells…
This title wasn’t released on the Amiga computer but on its cousin, the CD32. It’s one of the too few games for the console that takes advantage of the CD format. This is evident through impressive pre-rendered 3D backgrounds and a long filmed introduction (kitsch if ever I saw it).
However, after the first few seconds of fascination, due to both the technical performance and the bizarre aesthetic, a product of the unclear imagination of developers who were clearly on something; one realises what lies behind it: an insipid and irritating game. Soundtrack likewise.
