_Zephyr_ is a futuristic game that combines elements of first-person shooting
and racing, set in outer space. The premise of the game is that on the 24th
century mankind has overpopulated earth and is forced to settle on different
worlds around the galaxy looking for resources and space. The world of the
future however, is not a happy one, and it’s ruled by rival ultra-gigantic
corporations that struggle against each other for the rights to settle and
exploit worlds. The battles for those right are made through organized
vehicular combat at the Interplanetary Battle Circuit and the races are fought
on hovercraft-like vehicles called “Zephyrs”.

You play a Zephyr pilot and proceed through a set of linear plot-related
missions fighting for the corporation of your choice. Each offers a customized
Zephyr and each has advantages and disadvantages. You have to race around
maze-like cyberpunk locations (wastelands, cities, etc.) viewed from a first-
person perspective and shoot your opponents with an independent turret-mounted
cannon, collecting power-ups such as energy, shields, etc. to win the races.
