Absolute Zero Screen Shots

Absolute Zero Screen Shots is a small companion program by mkelly@cs.uoregon.edu that displays a slideshow of the eight screen shots from the back of the Absolute Zero box, complete with their original captions. It runs on any Mac capable of displaying 256 colors, even though Absolute Zero itself is PowerMac only.

What it is

This is a slideshow utility, not a game. It walks through the eight promotional screen shots that appeared on the back of the retail Absolute Zero box and shows the box copy that accompanied each image.

Why it exists

Absolute Zero was a Domark/Conexus PowerMac-only science-fiction action title. This companion let users on any color-capable Mac preview what the full game looked like without having to own a PowerMac to run it.

System requirements

Any Macintosh capable of displaying 256 colors will run the slideshow. Unlike the parent game, no PowerPC processor is required.
