Our CD-i member Arethius RGC received an unknown and exclusive promotional poster of the CD-i FMV Shooter Solar Crusade, starring Jessica Darkhill on the front. Solar Crusade, the follow-up to Chaos Control, is a cartoon-movie based science-fiction rail shooter game like Rebel Assault, which was also planned for a CD-i release. The player takes on the role of a fighter for the Orbital Defense Force (ODF). At the beginning the ODF thinks that they have defeated their enemies – the Kesh-Rhan, but that was a mistake. In five chapters, the player has to shoot everything they see on the screen. Some of the enemies leave ammunition or energy-pills on the battle field. In some cases, the player can choose the direction they fly in and may even stumble upon a secret level.
Solar Crusade on CD-i was announced in 1996, but it was eventually released on CD-i in 1999. There was hardly any promotional material to support this game, so this is a nice gem!
[Thanks, Arethius RGC]
