Plot and gameplay
The game is set in the year 2140, in which the world is ruled by a super computer called " The Eye". You play the agent Dubroc that falls at " The Eye" in disgrace and is sentenced to death in the arena. From then on he is on his way to destroy " The Eye". Some story elements have taken significant influence on the later published Queen musical We Will Rock You. Overall, the players must solve over 60 puzzles.
The game was released on 5 CD -ROMs; on each there is a level of the game. It is also possible to listen to the soundtrack on each CD as a normal audio CD.
Failure and Graphics
Despite the popularity of Queens, the game sold rather poorly, reasons were all that the game was too little advertised in advance and that the graphics on the appearance of the game was out of date already. This contained rendered SVGA backgrounds and elaborate animations that are created by the motion capture process.
Book
Also in 1998 came from the publisher Mark Smith, a 160 -page book for the game with over 300 illustrations and a CD -ROM with music.
