DESCRIPTION
The Ironseed is a 2D inter-galactic adventure game. Gameplay is real-time, featuring trading, diplomacy,
and strategy, and somewhat resembles Star Control 2 / Ur-Quan masters.
STORY
It is the thirty-eighth century. The fall of Earth is but a legend and humanity has migrated to a
terraformed Mars. The Pentateuch, a group of five priests, rules the newly risen technocracy with an iron
fist. In a bold attempt to eliminate the last of their political opponents, the five began the purgation
trials. With guerilla tactics their followers went about convicting those who would oppose them.
To counter them an underground movement was initiated and an elaborate plan was conceived. A virus was
spread throughout the circuit matrix. A thousand days from inception, the virus was scheduled to delete
all personality files. The Ironseed movement as it was called, hoped that by stealing a ship they could
escape, leaving behind Mars - and the Pentateuch. Their intent was to return after the fall of the
technocracy, but a computer malfunction turned a thousand days into a thousand years.
As the captain, you are awakened along with the crew by an alien attack...
