MICROCOSM MEGA CD MOVIE

The view is taken atop a towering skyscraper that is heavily guarded by armed soldiers and walking mech vehicles. You’re gazing upon a futuristic metropolis, comparable to the likes of Blade Runner, and a casual glance of a newspaper inside a vending machine suggests that there are two high-tech companies that are in a technological race for control over something. The video quality is a little foggy, but it has a very artistic, comic book-like fuzziness that actually pleases the eye and makes Microcosm one of those games I don’t skip the intro of. And the combination of the two is seamless.

In that sense, Microcosm is a landmark achievement!Īs a game, Microcosm is a fascinating, surreal experience. Right from the beginning, it presented video in scrawny rectangular boxes in the middle of your screen, pixilated and colorless, and so often intertwined with hideously compressed sound that occasionally wasn’t synced correctly.

If Sega CD excels at anything, it’s certainly not full-motion video. Genre: FMV Developer: Psygnosis Publisher: Sony Imagesoft Players: 1 Released: 1994
