The Omega Virus

It is the year 2051. Earth is now orbited by the great 'Battlesat1' station which protects earth from meteor impacts and stray comets with a super payload of plasma weapon silos. However, during a routine maintenance operation, something goes horribly wrong, and the station's master computer is infested by microscopic nano-phages that build a singular intelligence (foreign AI) in the computer core. While the humans aboard the station are forced to evacuate as all support systems shut down, the Earth leadership is contacted by the entity known as the Omega Virus, which threatens to turn the Battlesat's plasma weapons upon the planet. A power struggle ensues between four major global powers (the North American Federation, the Euro-National Force, the Oceanic Republic, and the Asiatic Alliance) to send a single techno-combatant to destroy the Virus (and potentially the other techno-combatants) and gain control of the Battlesat station for their government. The Techno combatants depart the Hauser airforce base on individual craft, each bound for one of the station's four functioning docking bays where they will battle the Omega Virus--and each other- for control of the space station before the fiendish virus overloads the battlestations master computer and eliminates the techno-warriors.

Omega Virus is a talking electronic board game originally released in 1992. This workshop item is as faithful of a re-creation of the original that I could make.

The board is a high resolution scan carefully stitched together. The probe piece is my own re-creation from scratch of the original. The commando piece is a master chief model I found floating on the net which I further modified as best I could to look like the original commando.

Game rules can be found via google.

The emulator for the central computer (required) is at https://www.groundtactics.com/books/omega-virus-emulator-v2 . The video shows an early version of my emulator from before I added original sounds. Current downloadable emu has original sounds from the official board game.

The original game and it's art and stuff was made by Milton Bradley - which is now owned by Hasbro.

Only the emulator program is my original work, the rest was already there - I just put it in TTS.
