Story
In a futuristic city in the year 2026, the corrupt government is using a television broadcasting company called Astralnet Broadcasting Company (ABC) to brainwash the population. A pro-democratic sympathizer, Guy Freelander, is charged with the task of navigating through a warehouse district, an industrial park, and an old abandoned train station in order to enter a high-rise building through a weakly defended "back door" and broadcast proof of an evil corporation's wrongdoings over the television stations.
