Zephyr (video Game)
''Zephyr'' is a racing/ first-person shooter video game developed and published by New World Computing for DOS. Gameplay ''Zephyr'' is a shoot 'em up that takes place in an arena, and comes with network capabilities. Development and release ''Zephyr'' was developed by New World Computing. Although co-founders Jon Van Caneghem and Mark Caldwell received top billing in its credits, Caldwell admitted the two were not involved in its day-to-day production as they were more focused on the company's flagship ''Might and Magic'' series and its spin-off ''Heroes of Might and Magic'' at the time. He claimed they had long desired to do a "driving game" and ''Zephyr'' would contain the developer's first true 3D game engine. Caldwell went on to say that the game's title, boxart, and graphics all "rung out with people" to culminate in a project unlike anything they had done before. This was the first New World Computing soundtrack completed by ''Heroes of Might and Magic'' composer Rob King. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
