  Defcon 5. Absolute peace, and just what the Weapons Division don't want. For nearly 200 years there has been no threat of an Alien attack. The weapons division have instructions to dismantle the complex manned defence systems and install automated defence software. The Tyron Division hatch a plot to reverse this .

  You are a high tech engineer, a cyberneer, a late substitution for you colleague who met with an unfortunate accident. Your task, to install the automated software once all personnel are off the base. It's no problem for you - no problem that is until the base comes under attack from Alien craft.

  Defcon 5 is completely original action adventure title that makes full use of the powerful new generation of games consoles. The player must uncover the sinister plot behind the attack whilst re-activating the Defence Systems. Each wave of attack brings a new threat and only by repelling them will the player discover the clues that lead to one conclusion - sabotage. The player must collect proof of the conspiracy, defend the base and search for clues in order to escape before activating the self-destruct systems. Defcon 5 features a totally unique interactive computer system, the VOS, which the player must become familiar with in order to gather information, shut down the base and make good their escape.

  Attacks come in different forms, such as Alien Ships, which are destroyed in an arcade shoot-em up sequence, and Combat Berserkers - robots programmed to seek and destroy the player.

  The player can activate defensive and exploratory droids, convince the VOS to shut down corridors and maintain life support systems including escape ships. But even if the player escapes from the base they must have proof of the conspiracy or face imprisonment by the Tyron Corporation.
