Story & context

CONFRONT THE FUTURE Having isolated themselves from the rest of the galaxy, the Xiphons created a multilevel, artificial universe controlled by XIPHOS, the all powerful, electronic intelligence. The worlds of the Xiphons prospered until the day XIPHOS inex- plicably went mad destroying planets, shutting down environmental systems and disrupting the space time continuum. Suddenly, the people struggled to survive, and two Xiphon factions, the Pio and Qon, began to fight for control of the remaining territory. As an agent of the Galactic Council, you enter the war-torn, artificial universe of the Xiphons. Your mission is to take the spaceship Arrow to the center level and destroy XIPHOS... or be destroyed.
