Synopsis
by Michael L. House
This text refers to the PC version of this title.It's the year 2051 and you're stuck in the Bator System on Planet Boder. Eighty-two percent of the population lives on two percent of the landmass and, not surprisingly, crime, poverty, unemployment and disease levels are going up. The great masses face the daily threat of escaping toxic gasses from their environment while the cutthroat Corporation elite mine the rest of the planet for untold riches. The power struggle between Cybertech, Inc. and Axiom, for the Corp 1 label, has heated up. Revenging it's former president's death, Axiom operatives manage to inject a microscopic probe known as "Grey M" into the bloodstream of Cybertech's mogul, Tiron Korsby. In Fantastic Voyage fashion, your job is to track down and destroy the probe by being inserted into his veins via a micro-submersible. Microcosm's story plays out through FMV and photo-realistic graphics in this first person action shooter.
