The problem with doomsday weapons is that they can be used by the bad guys. For example, a hatemongering group called the Purifiers want nothing more than to literally watch the world burn and have found the Apocalypser, a device originally built to see off an invasion of Earth. That device is now active and protected from conventional attack by the Apocalypshield, but there might still be enough time to hack in through what feel suspiciously like minigames.

This is a remarkably cryptic game that bombards the player with information without really explaining what’s going on and, along with requiring lightning reflexes, there’s quite a bit of trial and error needed to understand what to do within each section. That was a deliberate design choice because the author wanted players to discover MAH for themselves, but that makes it initially frustrating and possibly not suitable for some players. score 70%
