If you've ever wanted to own a truly obscure piece of videogame history, then you're in luck. We're giving away codes for Ziggurat Interactive and Empty Clip Studios' loving restoration of the once-lost interactive movie American Hero, and you could be in with a chance of adding this unique game to your library.
American Hero, if you're not up on your lost gaming artifacts, is a full motion video (FMV) game that centres on a former American intelligence officer called Jack, who has to stop a nefarious plot involving a sinister virus being spread through the Los Angeles water supply. It was originally developed for the Atari Jaguar CD, and even had the entire film portion of the game shot, but was cancelled before it could be finished thanks to the Jaguar's less than stellar sales.
But now, Ziggurat Interactive has partnered with developer Empty Clip Studios to finish off the game using restored footage already shot nearly 30 years ago. That's no easy task – American Hero was designed for a seamless FMV experience, where your split-second decisions would instantly lead to the next branch on your chosen story path. And with plenty of decisions to make as you work your way through the fast-paced, action-heavy story, there's a lot of rapid-fire transitions to implement.
