Your mission (if you have the attention span to accept it) as a member of the United Nations Moonbase Lunicus is to attend briefings, fly to Earth, and blow up angry robots roaming the streets. Over and over again. This must be the "Red Hot 3D Action on CD-ROM " promised on the box.
OK, so the plot was written by a single E.coli bacterium with a bad hangover. Nonetheless, the Lunicus graphics got me nostalgic for a Clutch Cargo episode and a huge bowl of Trix. (Clutch Cargo being one of those Japanese cartoon marvels from the 1960s employing static cartoon heads blended with real human mouths to do the talking.)
As for the quality of the action animation: If you imagine a bunch of Fisher-Price Playskool dolls rolling on casters through endlessly repeating corridors, you'll not only have more fun than you would playing Lunicus, you'll also save 80 bucks, more than enough for the Clutch Cargo video anthology and a box of Trix.
Lunicus: US$79.95. Educorp: (800) 843 9497, +1 (619) 536 9999.
