Jump'n Run: Schütze Mike VS Zombie (demo)
"Schütze Mike VS Zombie" is a jump'n run shooter featuring nine levels in three different worlds created with Backbone. According to the author, the game can be played through within one to four hours. There are four different weapons and the story is told by presenting animated cut scenes. Additionally nine different and animated "kill sequences" show how the hero kills a zombie.


"Schütze Mike VS Zombie" requires an Amiga with 68020 processor and 4 MB RAM. About 90 percent of the development has been completed, among others the soundtrack is still missing. The author would be delighted at some testers. After finishing the development of the game it is supposed to be delivered for free as well as at cost price for a "boxed edition".
