Orbit Master

Orbit Master is a unique action adventure in space for the PC. Made especially for DirectX-enabled machines, Orbit Master uses a high-res screen and hardware acceleration to achieve amazing effects. Orbit Master offers hours of fun, using unique gameplay and the latest in game physics, with outstanding graphics, bone-rattling sounds, and a thumping soundtrack. The player commands a spaceship that uses a laser-grapple to swing around solar systems, orbiting strange suns, bashing into alien ships, and herding space cows. Fun for the whole family, Orbit Master allows players the freedom to solve each level in their own time and their own way. The ship and the universe are populated with interesting and nefarious characters, who tell a story of galactic war through 32 levels of action and puzzle-solving gameplay. Orbit Master features fun dialog, hundreds of evil enemy ships, antimatter suns, orbital defense stations, and the Dark Alien Sun. "I started with a solar system simulator," said Thom Robertson, the game's creator. "But after much experimentation, I found a way for the player's ship to swing like a monkey from the comets that orbit the sun. This new control scheme is so simple and compelling that I knew I could make a great game using it."
