VICTIM OR HERO? CAN YOU OVERCOME THE DANGERS THAT LURK IN THE EVIL WAXWORKS? Category: Role-playing Price and Availability: IBM PC/compatibles - $59.95 (October), Amiga - $59.95 (November) SAN JOSE, CA - August 7, 1992 - Bats flew at you from the dark crevasses of the cave, knocking the flashlight out of your hand. You groped for the light in the cave's utter blackness. When you finally found it and flicked it on, your twin brother Alex had vanished and was eventually presumed dead. Now, even years later, you still feel his presence. This overwhelming feeling that he is alive leads you to your Uncle Boris' horror filled waxworks, a place that fills you with dread, yet was once like a second home to Alex. WaxWorks is Accolade's new true horror role-playing game due to ship this October for IBM PC computers, and in November for Amiga computers. WaxWorks is being developed by Horrorsoft, creators of Accolade's popular horror based role-playing games Elvira and Elvira II. This bone-chilling foray into five very detailed horror filled worlds will provide the player with over 100 hours of challenging game play. "Uncle Boris has just died and left you his Dodge and his prized possession, the WaxWorks. It took him years to create his collection of evil looking wax figures. This is not a normal wax museum full of icons of royalty, pop stars, and current celebrities. Uncle Boris chose to mold dark treacherous brings from his imagination, as well as duplicate criminals, witches, and monsters from film and history. Your first temptation is to destroy the waxworks and its dreadful occupants. Yet something beckons you to the old Victorian house that serves as the host to the collection. You are drawn into the fearsome scenes depicted in wax. You find yourself searching for your missing brother throughout the labyrinth waxworks, in ancient Egypt, 19th century England, in a dark, musty mineshaft and in a creepy, haunted cemetery. Can you escape from the clutches of the waxworks and rescue your brother? You'll travel through five different worlds, battle loathsome undead creatures and monsters, using your wits, weapons, artifacts and even household items. Use a crystal orb Uncle Boris left you to invoke powerful incantations that give you magical powers. WaxWorks is completely icon driven with a fast and intuitive "point and click" interface. The first person perspective produces some very terror filled moments, as you quickly have to decide to escape or fight to the bitter end. WaxWorks will be available at local software retailers or can be purchased direct fro calling 1-800-245-7744.
