The story behind Factory Breakout is that a robot factory on the plant Vial has been taken over by aliens who have activated the factory's self-destruct mechanism. You've guessed it, you are the only remaining robot and your name is Zirky. Zirky must evade the nasties and break out of the factory.
The first scene has Zirky still in his egg capsule but the self-destruct mechanism has caused deadly micron rays to shoot at him from all directions. Zirky must hold these rays back whilst a column of energy is building up to allow him to break free. In the next screen Zirky must cross the perilous rejection line whilst dodging the killer canary. The final screen has Zirky being chased by three weird-looking aliens. He must go through the doors on the screen, changing their colour, until they are non-existent when he will move on to the next level. Zirky's only protection is the forcefield which allow him to kill the nasties.
Factory Breakout is very addictive and it worked superbly. Both graphics and sound are excellent. The graphics are very detailed and the movement is very smooth with no flicker at all. The game features five skill levels ranging from Alpha to Epsilon levels. Alpha is hard but comparatively easy compared to Epsilon. This game stands up well with the high standard set by many other software houses.
