Echelon is a vector-based space combat simulator with wire-frame graphics. Fly around an alien planet, looking for clues to a "mysterious event" in the planet's past. The game has a feature that allows people to play without concerning themselves with battle, or turn off the "exploration" and concentrate solely on combat. It includes a lot of nifty gadgets you can use, including a teleporter for transporting stuff you collect back to your base, and RPV for exploring the planet's surface by remote control, and even a hyperdrive to hop around the planet. The aim is to gather enough information which will help you piece together six alien maps and decipher the alien code which holds the information about their base. The code reveals details about six manoeuvres that you must perform in a specific order to beat the game. |
