It's a battle for the control of the moon and you're one of the fighters! Virtual On, the popular arcade head-to-head battle mech game is a quick, blast-away bout of carnage where there is only one victor. It had better be you!
There are eight Virtuaroids to choose from, each with unique strengths and weaknesses! The MBV-04-6 Temjin, with a good balance of weapons and speed make this a good mech for beginners. The HBV-10-B Dorkas is heavily armored with long-range weapons, but slower than the other virtuaroids, it is best used in broken-field arenas. The SRV-1-A Fei-Yen, fastest of the virtuaroids, is sleek and streamlined but lacks armor and heavy weapons; it is best used as a hunt- and-peck mech instead of close encounters. The SAV-07-D Belgdor, based upon the popular Raiden battle-droid, has homing missiles, speed, and jumping range.
The TRV-06K-H Viper II was developed for fast tactical deployment and is the extension of the Temjin model. It's quick, agile, but lacks in armor and close-range weapons. The XBV-13-T11 Bal-Bas-Bow, armed with improved jumping power and smart guidance weapon systems, is one of the newest virtuaroids. The MBV-09-C Apharmd was designed for guerilla shock-troops with a pair of beam tonfas, and it excels at hand-to-hand combat. The Apharmd has turbo speed and sturdy armor, making it one of the best virtuaroids to pilot. The HBV-05-E Raiden is feared for its dual laser cannons and strontium alloy armor. What it lacks in speed and jumping ability, it more than makes up for in weapons.
The Fei-Yen is a favorite mech amongst anime fans as it is modeled after Usagi Tsukino, aka Sailor Moon. I use it a lot mostly because it is fast and has that Heart Beam weapon. Through simulation and real war situations, the player pilots his virtuaroid against other virtuaroids to win control of the moon. There are five Simulations, Flooded City, Airport, Water Front, Green Hills, and Ruins. There is a middle period called Mindshift and then the player continues on to the four Real War levels, Space Dock, Moon Base, Death Trap, and Nirvana.
In the Flooded City, there are very few obstacles to hide behind, so dashing and flying attacks are more formidable in this arena. At the Airport, buildings are places strategically around the arena, so attacking from above or dashing quickly behind buildings will be the best bet! The Simulations give the player a feel for the controls of the game and an opportunity to get the hang of a particular virtuaroid.
Space Dock is the first of the Real War scenarios and there are fortifications set around this fighting area on a remote station orbiting around the moon. Live guns and bombs are used so the player must use caution. The Real War scenarios pit player against the enemies that he must defeat. The difficulty has also been increased as this is no longer a simulation.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
