Zeppelins over New York... Showing at MacLAM 2012
« on: 21 May 2012, 02:12:00 PM »
Roll up ladies and gentlemen, roll up!

MacCinema are proud to present Robby Ruckus in Zeppelins over New York! Showing at MacLAM 2012; book your tickets now to see Robby and his death-defying rangers attempt to stop the devious Nazi's bombing New York.

Roll up... Roll up...

 
Far above the Atlantic Ocean, the fiendish Nazis are preparing to drop their new superbomb(TM) on top of New York. Using a passanger Zeppelin to disguise themselves the Nazis will reach New York without challenge; surely no one can stop them! (Dun Dun Dun...)

With success so close, and the American's totally unaware of the impending doom, the officers relax in their rooms

The passengers relax in the lounge, a famous director and British General relax with their entourage.

However unbeknown to the nefarious Nazis, Robby Ruckus and his Sky Rangers intercepted a message detailing the plans to drop the superbomb on New York. Dropping onto the balloon, the rangers abseil and break through the sides of the Zeppelin cab; and start to remove the German sentries before they can raise the alarm.

The Rangers storm forward, securing the bomb doors.

Only to be met with German reinforcements.

Robby's right hand man, Jamie, heads towards the bridge

Only to hear the alarm sounding; alerting the rest of the guards to the intrusion.

But quickly storm the defences leaving the way open to the bridge.

And as Robby moves to confront the German Commander, the credits roll...


...So there you have it ladies and gentlemen; Zeppelins over New York



A quick dusting off of the Zeppelin for a trial of gamer Mac's game for MacLAM 2012. This time instead of trying to escape from the Zeppelin, the players play either Robbie or some of his rangers in the attempt to stop the Zeppelin delivering its payload over New York. Much fun to be had.

If you're interested in coming along to MacLAM (16-17 June) please PM me, for more info.

Cheers
Andy

WOW! I haven't drooled this much since the invention of the bacon double cheese burger. A real gaming masterpiece.

So after years of tramp steamers - are we entering the age of Zeppelins? I wonder if Richard Huston can be convinced to make a switch to Zeppelins?

I have had the pleasure of playing on that Zeppelin, and I kid you not when I say that the pictures really don't do such a magnificent creation justice.
Great fun game too.
Particularly if you get to push Malamute's aviatrix character out of the bomb doors into the void...
Twice  :D

You just had to bring that up again ::)

Great to see the Zeppelin have another outing. It deserves to be on permanent display somewhere :)
