A 3D texture-mapped driving/shooting game.
Zone Raiders is a critically acclaimed first-person shooter. To start you are given a modified '57 Thunderbird which is now a hover car that fires weapons. Your task is to run missions where you pick up items and destroy targets to further your cause. As you progress, you are given access to better cars with more interesting weapons.
What makes Zone Raiders different than most first-person shooters is that Zone Raiders emulates real physics. If you run into a wall you go smack. If you get hit by a rocket, you get moved by the explosion. If you go fast on an upward slope and the slope ends, you go flying through the air. And don't explode those grenades too close to yourself or you'll take damage also.
The Macintosh version has been updated both technically and aesthetically. Graphics and animations have all been updated to high resolution. Background music for the levels is CD audio played directly off the CD through your speaker. And finally, the Macintosh version has even more secret areas than the original.

Harsh. Compelling. Intensely Graphic.
A unique combination of surreal art, pulsing soundtrack and intense gameplay.
ZPC places the player as Arman, a fourth generation Psionic War Messiah recently released from cryogenic imprisonment. With no memory of his illustrious heritage, Arman has few clues to his true mission: save his people, vanquish the evil occult group known as the Black Brethren and utterly destroy the Dark Being they worship. Only then can he reclaim his Psionic crown and unite his followers.
Features:

Art, environments, and concept developed by the underground phenomenon Aidan Hughes (MTV, KMFDM, BRUTE!)
Powerful, haunting, soundtrack created by alternative artist Roland Barker (Revolting Cocks) with contributions from his brother, Paul (Ministry) Barker.
Epic, encompassing storyline drags players deep into a twisted alternate reality.
25 intense levels with huge 3D city-states, labyrinthine underground sewer systems, toxic frozen wastelands, and masses of enemies.
Totally unique weapons, hand-to-hand combat and colossal Psionic powers.

ZPC is a first person, hyper-action adventure game based on the Marathon 2 game engine.
