PREMISE:          A sinister government agency known only as The Shop has
                  sponsored a sophisticated experiment involving the use of
                  virtual reality therapy and mind-altering drugs in an
                  effort to increase human intelligence.  When one of their
                  test subjects, Jobe the simpleton, shows a particular
                  adeptness for the treatment, they deliberately overdose
                  him in an effort to accellerate his progress.  The effort
                  backfires, resulting in a psychotic intelligence that
                  is capable of existing as pure energy and who both
                  resides in and manipulates to his own ends the cyber
                  environment of the world's interlinked computer systems.
                  Inspired by the feature film starring Pierce Brosnan,
                  itself loosely based on the original short story by
                  Stephen King under his Richard Bachman pseudonym.

IMPRESSIONS:      Mainly a platformer, but features lots of 3D subgames.
