ANIMAC

ANIMAC is a video game in the action genre originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on DOS.

Earth in the 23rd century is a good place to be: after an atypically friendly first contact with an alien species, the planet's ills have been cured and peace reigns. But there are always those who resist change, let alone utopian ideas. One such organization was the innocently named American Neutral Investigators, and its leader Mapier was exiled off-planet for disturbing the peace. However, this decision did not prove prescient; Mapier worked diligently, hacking and destroying, collecting debris, alien technology and raw materials, and gradually built a huge armed space fortress from which the ANI continue to terrorize known space.

This is where the player comes in, piloting a ship infiltrating the bowels of the ANI's Mapierian Anticomplex (ANIMAC) to find and destroy the central command. The snaking tunnels through the planet-sized base consist of hundreds of different rooms, packed with automated defenses, mines and hostile drones, while the Infiltrator carries only a single forward-firing photon launcher. Bridges and invisible curves further complicate matters, as does the security system, which makes backtracking a deadly risk.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
