You’re a lean, mean fighting machine — a mercenary. Your professor brother
is developing a secret formula which in the wrong hands could spell the end of
the world. Terrorists muscle in: they kidnap the professor and your niece and
demand the formula in one hour — else they get it In the neck.
It’s time to go into action — this is a personal vendetta. And for some
reason the police think you’re responsible, so you take a camera along to
collect evidence of your innocence. Armed only with your bare fists and a
knife, you track the terrorists down to an old warehouse swarming with guards.
You have to fight your way through in search of your relatives — and the
all-important evidence for the police. As you play additional weapons such as
AK-47 Kalashnikov assault rifle, an Uzi machine pistol and grenades can be
found.
When this first area has been thoroughly searched you leap into your trusty
Ferrari F40 and bomb down the highway. Even here you’re attacked by enemy
forces, but if you were thoughtful enough to pick up the access card in the
warehouse, the F40’s weapons systems can be used. Can you save your kin in the
hour allotted? Their fate is in your hands...
Vendetta is an arcade/strategy game with few equals. The graphics
are superb, the monochrome sprites and backdrops are wonderfully detailed. The
action comes thick and fast, and you have to keep your wits about you when
searching for clues. Purchase this game immediately (if not sooner).

Vendetta is really the cat’s whiskers! I haven’t enjoyed
playing a game so much for ages. You just get so involved in the storyline and
examining all the drawers and filing cabinets — great fun. The game is set out
like System 3’s Last Ninja 2, where the main character can ream
around each 3-D screen and its objects beating up terrorists. Each screen is
highly detailed and close examination of every nook and cranny is essential.
Certain objects can be immediately opened, others need a bit of persuasion with
a crowbar! Just section one would have made a brilliant game.Vendetta has an added bonus of a great car racing section. You
jump into the driver’s seat of a flash sports car and drive off in search of
all that is evil. It’s all a a joy to play and, boasting many of the most
successful elements a game can have, it should be a smash hit.
