Comix Zone

“Comix Zone” -- Sega PC combines the excitement of two PC gaming cases i.e. pop-culture phenomena, comic books and video games, with “Comix Zone,” the first truly interactive action comic book. The pages of “Comix Zone” come alive with rapid-fire speed, vivid colors and 3-D graphics drawn by actual comic- book illustrators. Inside “Comix Zone,” gamers take on the role of Sketch Turner, a brilliant young comic-book artist who finds himself morphed into his own comic by the evil Mortus, the villain he has created. Sketch, aided by his martial- arts expertise and his loyal pet rat Roadkill, must make his way through the pages of the comic book, successfully completing all episodes, to get back into the real world.

The interactive comic-book pages come to life, and villains actually tear into pieces of paper when defeated. Comic- style dialogue balloons narrate the ultra fast action, and Mortus' evil hand draws new enemies for Sketch to battle in each scene. ''Comix Zone'' from Sega PC will tear up PCs in November at an expected street price of $ 39.95.

In addition to Sega PC titles based on Genesis and Sega CD hits, PC gamers will be able to enjoy all of the action of Sega's high-end arcade titles available for Sega Saturn, including the martial-arts fighting game “Virtua Fighter Remix,” an updated version of the classic arcade title, which will be a pack-in with the Diamond Edge 3D accelerator board scheduled for release in October from Diamond Multimedia.
