THE AZTEC ASSAULT

(Zenobi Software)



Spectrum 48K/128K+2





Twice before PHOENIX was sent forth to do battle

against the "Abomination" and twice before PHOENIX

had been successful ... albeit at great cost to

others, others who had laid down their life in order

that mankind may survive. How sad that their sacrifices

should only have been a mere "hiccup" in the bitter

struggle between the "Time Crusaders of Chronos" and

the evil minions of the "Abomination". The deaths of

these poor unfortunate souls had only served to delay the

march of time and the outcome of the mighty battle

known as the "Great Temporal Struggle", for once again

the "Abomination" had arisen to wreak havoc on some poor

unsuspecting civilisation ......





In the year 1519 A.D., death is an integral part of everyday life for the people of

the AZTEC EMPIRE. Unlike some other cultures that fear or try to avoid death, the

Aztecs welcome it with open arms. Human sacrifice is the alchemy by which life is made

from death, and the sun provided with the energy to continue its movement across the

heavens. Without it, the end of the world, the Fifth Sun, will occur. The whole planet

will be devastated by earthquakes and the "Apocalypse" will take place ... At this time

also the TZITZIMIME, the monsters of the twilight, will swarm out and hurl themselves

on the few survivors. So it is written and so it has been told.





THE BATTLE CONTINUES ......



It is the year 1519 A.D. and the "Primal Darkness" launch their latest attack at the

very heart of the Aztec Empire. The ancient

city of Tenochtitlan is laid to siege and in

a matter of hours they control the entire city

and with it the Aztec Empire. Motecuhzoma flees,

the sacred ashes of the past rulers are stolen,

Cuicoatl (the Snake-Woman) is either possessed

or transformed and demons roam the religious

centres, killing as and when they please. But

more importantly, human sacrifices are no longer

possible and without them the Fifth Sun will

surely occur!



At Finvarra the threat was initially just to

one village. At Santa Barbaro the threat was to

one island but at Tenochtitlan the whole Empire

is at risk ... not only that but possibly the

very existence of the planet itself ... that is

if the Aztec's belief in the Fifth Sun is to be

believed and proves correct.



PHOENIX was successful against the "Abomination" TWICE before but there is a new evil

entity commanding this assault ... can PHOENIX defeat the demons of the AZTEC ASSAULT?
