Gameplay

There were free-for-all, team deathmatch and capture-the-flag style Eggstatica, Escape from NYC and last man standing game modes.

Development

The game was first announced in May 1998 and was in development for nearly a year. The title was showcased at E3 1998. Dean Devlin producer and co-writer for the 1998 Godzilla film was involved in the project.

Reception

Computer Gaming World gave the game a score of 2 out of 5 stating "The gameplay; the sound; and the software-only, third-person graphics are pretty basic and you can’t even alter your view. Somehow it all comes off as a massively multiplayer, third-rate DIABLO. And you don’t even get to trash the Brooklyn Bridge"
