## Description
_DroneZ XL_ is a single-player futuristic shooter. The player is guiding a
male or female avatar through a virtual reality, representing the future world
for humans living in suspended animation vats while their bodies are being
cared for by insects and their minds are prevented from leaving the virtual
world by its dominant AI.
The task is for the character to jump/travel on discs representing memory bits
in an organic computer, while avoiding wall mounted cannons, electrical fields
and various aliens trying to stop you from escaping the virtual reality into
the real world. The graphics are reminiscent of the movie _TRON_ with a
bright, neon style.
You travel from room to room in a somewhat confusing environment, sometimes on
a one-way path, sometimes on alternate paths, with some guidance from a
character described as a hacker, offering advice on what is up ahead. If you
fail to defeat the obstacles in a room, you restart from the beginning of the
room, or the one before. At some locations, boss fights occur whith larger
enemies, requiring you to hit them in weak spots, or using special power-ups
to defeat them.
The game was initially only available as a demo and benchmark for NVIDIA’s
GeForce 3 graphics card and it was shipped as a shorter OEM version with many
GeForce3 cards, using the name _DroneZ_ or _DroneZMark_. The full length game
was released as _DroneZ XL_ in Russia (PC) and _Dennou Taisen DroneZ_ in Japan
(Xbox).
