This was to be the first issue of a series available in kiosks of CD-ROM magazines that would be called Raven and was a container of editorial content and video games all based on the same world 'fiction', in the sense that all the characters, all events, were linked together. Neverworld is a very large arcade / adventure, full of graphics and environments to explore. It's set in New Tai, Taipei of the future, where you can see the exploits of Joshua Jam, investigator of the virtual world as well as frequenter of the slums of the city and of the worst areas of Neverworld, the parallel virtual world where all the events begin and end. There, a Doctor Meridian, a kind of half guru that due to an 'incident' in the past, is virtual. The virtual world and the real / physical, are mixed. As you will see, the graphics are pretty good. Part of it is made up of former Simulmondo guys (including Michael Sanguinetti). The game is 320 × 200 and runs on MS-DOS, which at the time was still absolutely overwhelming, but considering the time of production and editing, it was produced in 640 × 480! Neverworld is full of stuff. Besides the game Neverworld, there is a bit of other material. The game was made free by the developer in 2010. |
