However, it is led by a mad scientist who operates under a sinister, megalomaniacal monocle-wearing villain who has plans of his own purpose.

Development

Development started in 1995. It was originally designed as an MS-DOS game but was redesigned as a Windows Game under Epic's directives. Development dragged on until the game was finally cancelled for good in 1999.
