Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-adventure game, players assume the role of Kit Walker, the 24th Phantom, who must protect the futuristic city of Metropia from the eco-destructive plans of the corrupt corporation Maximum, Inc. Operating from a secret underground lair, players navigate a vast network of locations—including the subterranean Ghost Jungle, high-tech factories, and space ports—to thwart the villainous faction's bid for world control. Gameplay involves exploring these diverse sectors, consulting allies for guidance, and destroying switch terminals to unlock new areas.
Story
The Ghost Jungle
On a break from his studies, Kit Walker explores the Ghost Jungle, deep beneath the city of Metropia, never imagining the secret he's about to uncover.
When Kit gets back to the Lair, he plans to show a discovered totem to Guran in hopes of learning what it means. Guran inspects the artifact and reveals that the totem symbolizes a grave threat to all mankind.
Politics and greed threaten to lead to the destruction of Earth's ecosystem. As the 24th Phantom, Kit is destined to protect against this threat and continue the fight where his father left off against the forces trying to take over Metropia.
Biotechnology created by Maximum, Inc. could cause the extinction of one or more animal species. This would disrupt the fragile balance of the entire ecosystem, leaving the evil factions of Maximum, Inc. with access to world control.
Phantom's Lair
Located in the now abandoned Tube Train Station within the "dead" Sector Zero, this is the headquarters of the 24th Phantom. It houses the Database and the Map, which you consult to plan your next move.
The Lair is also the main entrance to the Ghost Jungle, marked by the Phantom's Throne and Council Fire. Here, you can confer with Guran and receive holographic messages. Hidden entrances and tunnels access secret exits throughout Metropia.
Locations to Visit
•
Ghost Jungle: Originating from the 2024 Toxic Waste Train Disaster, this jungle spreads across thousands of square miles of underground tunnels, abandoned buildings, and parkways. It is capable of sustaining a complex system of unique plant and animal life.
•
Maximum, Inc.: The world's largest corporation, controlled by Rebecca Madison. Their main goal is to create the Maximum Era, a new world order dominated by the Madison family.
•

•
Biot Factory: Besides housing a mega-ton warhead, this plant manufactures the complete line of Biological Optic Transputer Systems (BIOTS) for Maximum, Inc.
•
Industrial Sector: The city's center of energy. Square miles of pipes and machinery generate the enormous amounts of power consumed by Maximum, Inc. and its factories.
•
Tube Train Station: Leads to an incredible web of transport tunnels throughout Metropia, built by Maximum, Inc.'s legion of BIOTS.
