G-Nome PC CD control armor alien Mech robot machine mercenaries combat war game! Type: Game Platform: Windows Publisher: 7th Level Released: 1996 Media: CD G-NOME G-Nome was a video game developed by the now closed 7th Level video game company, which was released on February 28, 1997. The game was part of a new and popular genre of Mech games that offered gameplay where you control giant-robot-like machines called HAWCs (Heavy Armored Weapon Chassis), similar to the games of the Mechwarrior-Series or the games accompanying the Heavy Gear-Universe, which were published around that time.In addition to that, you can exit your vehicle and proceed on foot to either capture other HAWCs or to carry out tasks you cannot execute from within your machine. That way, the destruction of your Mech isn't necessarily the end of the game, since you still have the chance of capturing a new one, if you left the old one in time. Players are restricted to within the game area by the Orbital defence kill zone. Should a player wander too far outside, a computer voice will warn the player. If the player continues, the computer will say "have a nice day", and the players HAWC will be destroyed by a huge laser blast. It is possible to eject to safety, however.The game takes place in a dysfunctional world that humans and three other alien races are battling to control: the Union (human), the Darken Empire, the Scorp, and the Bendian Mercenaries. You play Joshua Gant, a Union operative assigned to investigate reports of a secret project entitled G-Nome. Early on, you learn that the G-Nome is a genetically modified killing machine.For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
