Steel Ranger
run & gun arcade-adventure game for Commodore 64, 2018
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YEAR 2218.
As humanity is forced to expand beyond Earth, they come into contact with a
hostile machine intelligence born from their own creations. By initially
using military shipments thought to be lost, it has mined other planets for
resources and built a vast offensive fleet. Now mankind is stranded in a
desperate war, with safety nowhere to be found.
United Military patrol ship "Scourge" led by commander Archer Hess picks up an
unusual transmission sent from a barren planet - Ones & Zeroes forming an
Omega symbol. Though possibly a trap, the ship is cleared to investigate. Its
crew is equipped with self- charging "Ranger" armour suits, designed for
combat against overwhelming enemies in any environment.
