Beginning ten years after the end of the film, The Arrival CDROM Game puts the you in the role of Zane Ziminski, played by Charlie Sheen in the film.

You awaken in a holding cell onboard the alien space station, and your goal is to thwart their plans for a second attempt to take over Earth (they're planning to inject a gas into the atmosphere to terraform Earth to their liking). <BR><BR>The Arrival is not just another static screen pixel hunt. The high resolution graphics and animations are eerily beautiful, and there's always some little flash of nuance to catch your eye-blinking lights, discharges of steam,busy robots, etc. The Arrival's spectacular graphics, wall to wall digital sound, non-linear path, and multipleendings will provide many hours of intriguing exploration. Turn off the lights, crank the subwoofer. and go for it." - PC GAMER <BR><BR>"Until recently, many movie-based games were little more than thinly veiled attempts to cash in on the massappeal of popular films. The Arrival actually makes a better game than it did a movie." - PLAYBOY Magazine
