Near future. Where the sun doesn't shine. Ian was not sure what he was going to do with his life, except for growing his hair, playing guitar and drinking beer. When his lethal past comes alive and throws him into a much more lethal adventure in the present, that problem solves itself. Now the most he can hope for ... is to survive.

Reinterpretation / reboot of the first Metal Warrior game, but now as a "semi-cinematic" action-adventure with gunplay, close combat & stealth combined.

Available now from Protovision as cartridge or digital download and from Psytronik Software as disk version.

Take the role of Kim, a low-clearance security guard working a permanent night shift (on her request) at the Throne Group Science Complex. One night, she wakes up inside a cargo container converted to an improvised emergency operating room. All she remembers are multiple unknown hostiles firing at the staff, heavy rounds hammering into her chest and everything going black, then finally the shouted words filtering into her consciousness: "Massive trauma.. Need artificial circulation.. Prepare the nanobot injection now!"

Among other changes, V1.2 improves the controls (easier to fire while ducked), adjusts game balance for more ammunition dropped by enemies, and removes splash damage to player from own explosive weapons.

Hessian is available as a physical disk edition and as a name-your-price digital edition from Psytronik Software.

In addition, there's the Covert Bitops V1.2 download version without the Psytronik goodies, full source code, and the archived work-in-progress diary:

As the Bastard Operator, you arrive late at work to find the building full of insane paramilitary activists who don't care of human hostages but have taken all servers, workstations & printers hostage instead and set up bombs at network equipment closets. Of course, this can't be tolerated, so the logical course of action is to combat the activists single-handedly.

BOFH is a C64 conversion of the overhead view tactical shoot'em-up first written on PC in the year 2000, featuring 360 degrees movement, many different weapons and a 7-floor building (based on real location!) to explore.

This game is a sidescrolling shoot'em up game, a bit in the spirit of Cobra, but with even more extreme bugs introduced on purpose.

The sequel contains more detailed graphics, longer game, an experience level system (similar to Castlevania II) and a password feature. To avoid spoiling the game series, nothing is said of the plotline. To get the full story, it is preferable to play these games in sequential order, starting from the first!

V1.5 adds new fastloader, which improves loading speed and also supports IDE64.

Metal Warrior Amiga V1.1
Originally written in 1993, improved and released in 2004
Compatibility: Kickstart 1.2+, 512KB minimum memory

Programming, graphics, music and sound effects by Cadaver
Thanks to Xeron for OS-compatibility hints

Like its C64 counterpart, the game is set in the violent future. Ian, the hessian Avenger, sets out to exact revenge on those who attacked his band, and to uncover any larger conspiracies...

A multidirectionally scrolling action adventure. Released finally over 10 years after original completion, with some modifications (improved OS-compatibility, partially rewritten text, dead-end situations removed). Still, it's quite a weird and immature game so play at your own risk!

Metal Warrior 4 GBA V1.3
Originally released in 2006, improved during 2007-2012
Compatibility: Flashcart with at least 32kB SRAM save

Agent concept by Cadaver & Malekith
Programming, graphics and sound effects by Cadaver
Music by Aeuk, Ansgaros, Barfington, Cadaver, Cage, Crow, Desperado, Malekith, Neomancia, Tarantula, Warlord

This is a GBA conversion of Metal Warrior 4. It is in some ways improved, some graphics for instance, and loads data during gameplay in near zero time, but has smaller screen size compared to C64.

V1.3 tweaks game balance and brings back the classic MW1-3 mutant enemy.

Technical note: the GBA side engine runs just 6502 CPU & SID emulation and has "API hooks" for graphics / loading / interrupt related functions, so it is not actually emulating a C64 enviroment.
