S.C. Out for PPCs is a logic/puzzle game for Pocket PCs with Windows Mobile operating system, written by Peter Botka. It is a port of an old DOS game written by KALISTO (Atreid Concept), a French software company which does not exist anymore.
The objective of the game is to exterminate zones infected by a species of mechanical virus of foreign origin. In order to arrive at the different infected zones and to be able to eliminate the virus, you will have to find a portable bomb and the virus itself while going through deadly mazes, solving sweating puzzles and avioding enemy creatures.
You control your spaceship whith the keys of the PPC: the D-Pad to move, the Select key to shoot a rocket in your inventory and the Start key to pick up or put down an object. You can also use your stylus: to move around, tap on either side of the ship. To pick up or put down an object, tap on the spaceship. To shoot, tap on the rocket in the inventory.
The original S.C. Out game was written by KALISTO, a French software company which does not exist anymore. The copyright status of the game is uncertain, but seems to be in a state which can be called “abandonware”. This means this game has absolutely no support left, the company which created it “abandoned” the game or ceased to exist. Thus the PPC version is only the engine of the game rewritten from scratch, and can not be played by itself. It contains 3 test levels made in the original games editor so it can be tested. In order to play the original 101 levels of the game, You must have (or get) the original game and copy the LEVEL.DAT file from the original to the directory you installed the game on the PPC. The game can play any levels created with the original level editor. These APP_XXX.CIA file shoul be copied to the game directory as well.
