Game description

SKAPHANDER is a first-person shooter game where you fight viruses and bugs in cyberspace. Created in Germany in a time when government authorities imposed bans on violent video games, SKAPHANDER apparently tried to keep the first-person action/combat while doing away with the violence part, which resulted in the player shooting at abstract shapes.

The game was made with the German ACKNEX/CubicSpace toolkit (later known as 3D GameStudio) which allowed users to create royalty-free DOOM-like 2.5D first-person titles. As this was the first commercial ACKNEX game, the one-level demo of SKAPHANDER was also distributed by ACKNEX developers to show off the capabilities of their product.
