Web Dimension

This is a very, very strange game. Weird, in fact. There is no time limit to Web Dimension, no scoring and no lives to be lost. So what is there?

Activision describes the game as "a very unique computerised music video with an electrifying revolutionary web, rocked by exquisite effects and eleven outrageous tunes".

The screen is a grey web from which life springs - atoms, amoebas and plants. As these organisms and things slide along the web, you must try to connect them. If you're successful, more creatures are produced and, according to the game's notes "wondrously wild music will be your reward".

Web Dimension

If all the connections are made properly and all the organisms are frozen, you progress to the next phase.

Web Dimension is an intriguing game which does not really fit into any specific category. Nevertheless, it does have an addictive quality which keeps you playing.

A game well worth getting tangled up with.
