Details for this game A truly epic length game Long, challenging puzzles Multiple solutions Optional subplots Take 2 Interactive, one of the most extravagant game companies ever (the maker of Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar Games, etc.), was formed by several ex-MicroProse employees in 1994. Their games were notable for very high production costs, sporting full-motion video and silver screen actors, as well as a significant marketing budget. Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller was the first game from Take 2. In the future where Hell is proven to exist and demons have real jobs, you play a police couple Gideon and Rachel who inexplicably become wanted criminals overnight. You must find out why you've been betrayed, and by whom: Washington, DC, 2095 Hell occurs one hundred years in the future, and Washington DC is no longer just the nation's capitol: it's also the place where hell meets earth. In the midnight hours, lurking amidst the bone-white monuments, hellspawn stalk the streets, looking for sinners to drag back to Hades. The United States is ruled by a political party, the Hand of God, and its leader, the Imperator Solene Solux. Swept to power by a populace overwhelmed by violence, the seeping control of new technologies, and rampant immorality, the androgynous Solux has lived up to his/her awesome campaign promise: "To sit in judgment of sinners and condemn the offenders to Hell." Solux's substitute Bible -- the Sententia -- has practically replaced the constitution, and the government has become a repressive regime. New computer technologies, the exploration of cyberspace, artificial intelligence, robotics, medical health enhancers (such as body-morphing surgery and birthing assistance units) and even developments in cyber-entertainment have all been outlawed. Some of these decisions were rooted in popular demand. The interactive Acti-Deck virtual reality home entertainment system, for example, horrified the populace when it was discovered that the device had gradually altered the user's genetic codes and led to a strain of humans with frightening psionic capabilities. But the Hand also outlawed free speech, books, rival political parties, alcohol and drugs, gambling, and a host of other freedoms. This crackdown on liberties has bred widespread discontent. Hiding in the back alleys and the speakeasies of this urban dystopia, underground rebel cells have formed, including the Citizens Freedom Front led by former US Senator Erin Burr. But opposition is fledgling since people live in constant fear of being condemned to hell's dark fires. The streets of D.C. are littered with the walking dead who've been there and back, and they can testify to the terrifying nature of the place -- if they're able to talk at all, that is. Demons prowl the streets adding to the terror -- monsters that resemble humans, horned beasts with pointed tails, and other creatures sprung from fallen angels. Gideon Eshanti and Rachael Braque: You play the game as either Gideon Eshanti or Racheal Braque. Regardless of which character you choose, both will appear together throughout the game. For Racheal Braque and Gideon Eshanti, the brutal truth about the Hand of God comes in the form of a kicked-in door and singing bullets. Gideon and Racheal are field agents for Artificial Reality Containment (ARC), a division of the Hand's police apparatus. As ARC agents they were responsible for gathering information on illegal technologies. While they aren't armed police officers, they aren't exactly civil servants. When the Hand of God betrays them, they begin their journey through the streets of Washington, a veering, bone-jarring scramble to learn why they've been targeted by the government they once served. Your challenge is to learn why the Hand wants Gideon and Racheal dead. Can you solve the mystery before Gideon and Racheal feel the flames of hell? COMBAT: Combat in Hell is, with the exception of your first encounter, puzzle driven. That is, your success in combat depends upon solving a puzzle. Combat consists of a series of lavishly animated self-running fights between Gideon, Rachel, and various demons. You must analyze the tactics of your opponent and the events of unsuccessful combat sequences, discover the means to defeat your foe, take some action prior to beginning combat, and then click on the character to begin the fight. Full-screen full-color graphics. Designed to run under IBM PC-DOS or MS-DOS, but we experienced no problems running it in a DOS window under Win95 and Win98. We have not tested under Win-NT, Win-2000 or Win-XP but this game as well most classic DOS games may not run directly under platforms which are not fully compatible in the emulation of DOS functions. If you're running XP, try DOSBox -- a free OpenSource PC emulator with built in DOS for running DOS Games. DOSBox indicates full support for running this game under Win2K, WinXP and even Linux!

Copy of README.txt from this game Here is a list of manual updates, additional information, and game hints to keep in mind while playing Hell. Please note especially a few alterations to the game interface that were made since the manual was printed. It is important that you read this brief file. STRIKE THE ESC KEY TO EXIT THIS README FILE. 1. As noted in the manual, you can play the game as one of two characters, Rachel or Gideon, but both characters will appear and move about the map. To control the character you are playing, move the mouse to where you would like the character to move and left click. The player you are not controlling will follow. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE CHARACTER YOU ARE PLAYING CAN BECOME STUCK BETWEEN AN OBJECT AND THE CHARACTER YOU ARE NOT PLAYING. TO MOVE THE CHARACTER YOU ARE NOT PLAYING, HOLD THE CTRL KEY DOWN AND LEFT CLICK THE MOUSE ON THE SPOT TO WHERE YOU WANT THE OTHER CHARACTER TO MOVE. 2. When your party is full and you attempt to recruit another character you will be prompted as to which character you wish to dismiss. If you do not wish to dismiss any current member of your party, strike the ESC key. Your party will remain unchanged. 3. The explanation of the Examine option (found on page 19 of the manual) on the main tool bar is no longer current. Selecting "Examine" from the main tool bar will produce a list of all the objects and characters that can be examined at a location. Right click on the name of the item to hear its description. The list of items and characters also helps to orient you to a location by indicating everything that can be interacted with at the location. As noted in the manual, you can also examine an object or NPC by placing the mouse cursor over an object or NPC and right clicking. 4. Combat has significantly changed since the manual was written. Combat is fully animated and no longer requires that you select various weapons with which to fight. You will be provided with clues during the game for strategies for surviving combat. 5. To use one object on another while at the character inventory screens, left click on the object to be used, move it over the object you wish to use it on, and right click. 6. The inventory pop-up window (see page 12 of the manual) will not appear if Rachel and Gideon are not carrying any objects. You can, however, still access the inventory screen. 7. When accessing any of the computers in the game world, you will encounter special interfaces. When necessary, up and down arrows will appear to scroll text within a message. You must right click the mouse to advance at the end of a message's text. 8. Hell does not work with various Diamond Viper cards. Please contact Take 2 customer support for additional information. Please consult the manual for Customer Support's telephone number and address. 9. As any veteran gamer knows it is a good idea to save your current game frequently. Rachel and Gideon can be killed or arrested at various points in the game. Be certain to examine all objects at a location and to interact with each NPC. 10. Good luck. Have fun. Remember, it's not the heat; it's the humidity. Notes Purchaser is responsible for determining compatibility before bidding. We are not responsible for compatibility issues.
