Product Specs

Description

It's not easy being an electronically enhanced human. Ned Hubbard (known in the papers as Wirehead) discovers this one day when he receives a package from Dr. Oja. Included is a video stating that "they" are after Dr. Oja and that Ned should be on the lookout. Sure enough, there's a knock on the door. Wirehead's adventure has begun. In the live action game Wirehead, it's up to you to guide Ned to safety, away from his pursuers. This is done by telling him which way to go or what to do in a tight situation. For instance, three or four arrows will appear at times when decisions must be made. If you choose the wrong direction, Ned will be caught or meet some other undesirable fate. Choosing the correct direction, however, will advance him to the next decision to be made. As the game progresses, you'll have to deal with such hindrances as rapids, hick cops, and even a bear. You'll meet people along the way, not all of whom can be trusted. Still, you're the one in control of Wirehead's brain. Only you can save him.
