About Countdown to Shutdown
A serious explosion at the Brands Point nuclear power plant has occurred on one of the lower levels and a second and bigger explosion is imminent due to the overheating of the central core. An attempt must be made to damp down the reactor rods and avert a major catastrophe. You control a team of android commandos via a video-camera network. With over 2000 rooms spread over 8 levels, this is a mammoth task. It must be done - the core is getting hotter by the minute!
